Taskheer

That level is Class 6, the entry point of British racing, where Taskheer has found its best form. Four wins from 18 races at that grade works out to winning roughly 1 in every 5 — a 22% win rate — which is a genuinely solid return. For context, the overall career figure is 4 wins from 38 races, or about 1 in every 9 (11%), so the Class 6 record shows the horse is clearly suited to competing at this tier rather than being overmatched at higher levels. It knows its place and does its job well there.

Lingfield Park has been particularly kind to Taskheer. That is where it first broke its duck, and where it recorded its most recent win — a February 2025 success that remains the latest entry on its winners' list. That win came 15 months ago now, and the last six runs have produced nothing better than a second place, with the most recent outing ending without a finish recorded. Still, the horse raced just yesterday, which means the team at Daniel Steele's yard in Henfield, West Sussex, clearly sees enough in it to keep it busy. Steele's operation has sent out four winners this season, so there is a functioning yard behind this horse.

The most encouraging partnership in Taskheer's record involves jockey Joshua Bryan, who has ridden the horse eight times and won twice — a 25% win rate, or 1 in every 4 rides together. That is considerably better than the horse's overall average, and it suggests a combination worth watching. Whether Bryan gets the next call-up is unknown, but when those two have teamed up, things have gone right more often than not. For a horse that has been around the block 38 times and is still racing at eight years old, that kind of reliable partnership might be exactly what it takes to find that fifth win.
