Little Wren

That sole career victory came at Fakenham in January 2026, and it arrived at the level where she is most at home. At Class 5 — the entry-level tier of British racing — she has won 1 from 5, a win rate of 20%, or roughly 1 in every 5 races at that grade. That is a meaningful distinction. It suggests Little Wren is a horse who needs things set up just right, but when they are, she is competitive enough to get the job done.

She is trained by Dan Skelton at his yard in Alcester, Warwickshire, and the scale of that operation is worth pausing on. Skelton's team has sent out 194 winners this season alone — that is a genuinely elite training operation, one of the most productive yards in the country. For a horse like Little Wren, sitting in a yard of that size, the fact that she is still being campaigned and placed carefully speaks to a team that believes there are more days like Fakenham still ahead of her. She raced just yesterday, so she is very much a horse in the middle of her season right now.
