Catchim

Trained by Charles and Adam Pogson out of Farnsfield in Nottinghamshire, Catchim is part of a yard that has sent out 12 winners this season — a healthy return for a provincial operation. The horse has done most of its racing at Class 4 level, the bread-and-butter tier of the sport, and has won 1 from 8 races at that grade, which is a 12% win rate or roughly 1 in every 8 attempts. That might not sound dramatic, but staying competitive at the same level for this many races, at this age, takes a certain durability.

The most recent win came at Market Rasen in April 2026, about three months ago, and the current form is encouraging. Reading the last six runs from most recent to oldest — 5th, 4th, 2nd, 5th, 1st, 3rd — there is a horse that has been close more often than not, with that Market Rasen victory sitting in the middle of a sequence that has stayed respectable on either side of it. A second place in there too suggests the win was not a fluke. Regular partner Charlie Todd has yet to get the best of Catchim, with no wins from six rides together, so the combination of horse and jockey still has something to prove.

Catchim raced just yesterday, which makes this one of the most active horses in its yard right now. At eight years old, with a career built from steady effort rather than star quality, Catchim represents something that is easy to overlook in racing — the workhorse who just keeps showing up, keeps finishing, and occasionally reminds everyone what it can do. The next win might not be far away.
