Caughtinyourtrance

Trainer James Moffatt is based right there at Cartmel, which matters more than it might sound. Training on your doorstep means you know every bend, every rise, every quirk of the track — and Moffatt's yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 11 winners. When a local handler finds a horse that loves the local track, it becomes a combination worth following. Jockey Charlotte Jones has been the regular partner in the saddle, winning 1 of their 7 races together — about 1 in 7 — a modest overall figure that looks considerably better when you factor in that their wins have come at exactly the right moments.

Caughtinyourtrance has been most at home at Class 4 level, the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, where it has won 2 of 6 races — that is 1 in 3, a genuinely solid return at that grade. Recent form has been a little quieter, with finishes of second, sixth, second, and third across the last six runs without adding to the win column. But the horse raced just one day ago and remains active, which signals that the yard are happy to keep rolling. A horse that has placed 8 times from 15 races — more than half its career — is one that keeps turning up in the right part of the result, even when the win isn't coming.

The last victory came at Cartmel on 19 July 2025. If Caughtinyourtrance is going to win again, the smart money says it will be back on that familiar patch of ground in Cumbria where the whole thing seems to make a little more sense.
