Causing Problems
Causing Problems is a three-year-old with work still to do. The horse has run six times without a win or a place, and while the recent form shows some improvement—finishing fifth and eighth in the last two races—there is as yet nothing to suggest it has found its level or is close to breaking through.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Dan Skelton at Alcester, Causing Problems is part of a yard that has been prolific this season, with 198 winners already sent out. Skelton clearly knows how to prepare horses to win, but not every horse in a big yard succeeds, and this one remains a work in progress. At Class 4 level—where Causing Problems has competed three times—it has failed to win any of those races. Given that the horse was last seen competing just a day ago, the yard are clearly still looking for the right opportunity or conditions to spark improvement. For now, it remains a young horse learning the game, with no obvious pattern of success to encourage optimism.
