Whitaker has had 3 winners out this season, and Miss Willows has been a reliable part of that operation. She tends to run in Class 6 — the bread-and-butter end of British racing, where horses compete for modest prize money but often race frequently and keenly. At that level she has won 3 from 16, or roughly 1 in every 5 races, which is actually a solid return. It suggests she is competitive when pitched at the right grade, even if her overall record across all classes looks thinner.
Her regular jockey is Ben Sanderson, who has ridden her seven times and won once — a 14% win rate, or just under 1 in every 7 rides. Their first win together came at Catterick Bridge on 10 July 2024, which also happened to be her first career win. She went on to win again at Redcar on 24 September 2025, seven months ago, so it has been a little while since she last visited the winner's enclosure.
Her recent form reads 11-1-5-7-9-5 — that solitary win at Redcar sandwiched between some unspectacular finishes. She ran just yesterday, which tells you she is fit and active, and the yard will be looking for the right opportunity to get her back in front. If that opportunity comes at Catterick Bridge, do not be too surprised.
