Skirt Around
Skirt Around is a three-year-old still searching for that first career win. The horse has run six times without a victory, though it did finish second once, suggesting it has the ability to get close to the front. That single placed finish came somewhere in those recent runs, which showed some inconsistency — results ranging from third to eighth, most recently an eighth place just a day ago.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse is trained by Philip Kirby at East Appleton in North Yorkshire, a yard that has already sent out 36 winners this season and clearly knows how to get horses competitive. For a young three-year-old without a win yet, there is still time; many horses take a few races to work out what they are doing. Skirt Around remains active and racing regularly, which suggests the yard believes there is something there worth persisting with.
