Skipper
Skipper has shown just enough quality to remain interesting, even if he has not quite put it all together. The five-year-old has won 2 of his last 6 races and holds a career record of 2 wins and 3 places from 9 outings — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 races. His last victory came at Redcar four months ago, and he is still active on the track, having raced just a day ago, though that run ended outside the placings.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Hamad Al Jehani at Newmarket, Skipper broke his duck at Chelmsford in late August 2024 and has since shown he can win again, proving he is not a one-time winner. His recent form reads 6-9-13-1-7-1 (most recent first), which shows a horse capable of a quick turnaround — that win at Redcar in April followed a seventh-place finish two starts earlier. The yard itself is in decent form this season with 18 winners sent out, suggesting Skipper has competent handling behind him. Exactly where he fits in the pecking order remains unclear, but a horse winning roughly one race in five is doing the job it is supposed to do, even if he has not yet proven himself at the highest level.
