Catchim

Catchim is an eight-year-old who has spent most of his career doing things the hard way. Two wins from 17 races — roughly 1 in every 8 or 9 outings — tells you this isn't a horse who makes a habit of crossing the line first, but there's more to the picture than that bare number suggests. He's placed nine times as well, meaning he's been competitive in more than half his races. He tends to get involved; he just doesn't always close the deal.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His most recent win came at Market Rasen in April 2026, about three months ago, and that result keeps him relevant heading into the summer. Before that, his first career win arrived at Southwell back in June 2024 — so he's a horse who took his time getting off the mark, then showed he could do it again. That matters. Plenty of horses win once and never repeat it. Catchim has now done it twice, which suggests the wins aren't flukes.

His recent form reads 4th, 2nd, 5th, 1st, 3rd from his last five completed runs — a mixed sequence, but one that includes a win and two other placed efforts. That's enough to suggest he's in reasonable shape, and with a run just yesterday, he's clearly being kept busy. He operates mainly at Class 4 level, one of the mid-tier grades in British racing, where he's won 1 from 8 at that level — again about 1 in every 8 races — which is modest but not unusual for a horse in competitive company.

The regular partnership with jockey Charlie Todd is worth a mention, though perhaps not for the most flattering reason — six races together and no wins yet. That's not necessarily damning; plenty of close partnerships take time to click, and Todd clearly keeps getting the ride, which suggests the team at Charles and Adam Pogson's yard in Farnsfield still believe in the combination. That yard has sent out 12 winners this season, so they're in form as an operation, even if Catchim hasn't been the one carrying the flag lately.

At eight years old, Catchim isn't getting younger, but he raced just yesterday and is clearly fit and active. He's a horse who places often, wins occasionally, and keeps showing up. Sometimes that's exactly what you want.
