Bollin Neil

The real story is at Catterick Bridge, where this horse is genuinely special. From 22 races at the track, Bollin Neil has won five of them — a win rate of almost one win in every four and a half visits. That's the sort of dominance that makes a horse worth following when the racecourse is Catterick and the conditions are right. His last victory there came on 18 October 2025, now over a year in the past, which suggests he may be past his best at that track or simply struggling to find the right race lately.

Recent form tells that story clearly. In the last six races — the most recent just a day ago — Bollin Neil has finished 9th, 5th, 7th, 2nd, 11th, and 3rd. That's a run without a win, and while the occasional top-3 finish shows he is still competitive, he is no longer delivering victories. When ridden by jockey David Allan, though, the horse's record improves sharply: three wins from nine races together, a 33% win rate that is more than double his overall average. That partnership is worth watching for.

Tim Easterby trains Bollin Neil from Great Habton in North Yorkshire, and the yard is having a productive season with 128 winners sent out so far. Bollin Neil competes mostly at Class 5 level, where he has won three of 18 races — a 17% win rate at that grade, which confirms he belongs at that level and is capable on his day. At ten years old and without a win in half a year, this horse is in the veteran stage of his career, still active and still occasionally threatening, but the truly productive days may be behind him.
