Gressington

There is a horse operating out of the Scottish Borders that quietly gets the job done more often than you might expect. Gressington is a five-year-old trained by Katie Scott at her yard in Galashiels — a small operation that has still managed to send out 17 winners this season, which tells you something about the quality of horsemanship going on up there. Across 28 career races, Gressington has won 4 times and finished in the places a further 9 times, meaning it has given its backers something to cheer in nearly half its races. That is a decent return for a horse competing at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The partnership with jockey Callum Rodriguez is the most striking number in Gressington's file. In 10 races together, Rodriguez has ridden the horse to 3 wins — that is a 30% win rate, or winning roughly 1 in every 3 rides. For context, most good jockeys win around 1 in 8 or 9 races across their whole book of rides. When these two team up, something clearly clicks. Gressington's first career win came at Southwell in September 2023, and the most recent was at Newcastle on 29 December 2025, so there is form at different tracks but a clear pattern of performing when conditions suit.

Those conditions matter. On fast, dry ground, Gressington has won 2 of just 5 races — a 40% win rate that stands well above its overall average. And at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, it has won 3 of 14 races, or roughly 1 in every 5, which is where the horse is most at home. Both numbers point in the same direction: get Gressington on a dry track over a sharp to middle distance, and it becomes a very different proposition.

The recent form is a little mixed — two last-place finishes in the last four races will raise eyebrows — but there was a win sandwiched in there just five months ago at Newcastle, and the horse raced as recently as yesterday, so it is clearly in active training and not being rested through a rough patch. Most of Gressington's races have come at Class 4 level, winning 3 of 16 at that grade, which is a solid and consistent level to operate at. This is not a horse chasing glory at the top table, but in the right conditions with the right jockey, it is a genuine contender every time it lines up.
