Cawthorne Cracker

The partnership with jockey Toby Wynne is genuinely the most compelling thread in this horse's story. In 13 races together, they've won 3 times — that's nearly 1 in every 4 races, a win rate of 23%, which is markedly better than the horse's overall record. When Wynne is in the saddle, something clicks. The yard behind them is Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, based in Oldcastle, Cheshire, and they've been in good form this season — 43 winners sent out, which suggests a busy, well-organised operation that knows how to place its horses.

Cawthorne Cracker's last win came at Sedgefield on 1 October 2024 — now 21 months ago. The six races since then have produced a pair of third-place finishes and a run of fifths, which means it's been competitive without quite finding the winning thread. That's a familiar story for horses at this level: close enough to suggest ability, but the gap between third and first can feel enormous. The first career win came at Exeter back in October 2023, so there's been just a two-year window in which all three victories have fallen.

What keeps Cawthorne Cracker interesting is that it raced just one day ago, so this is a horse right in the thick of an active campaign. The recent form — two thirds mixed in with fifth-place finishes — suggests it's running consistently without peaking. At 7 years old, there's no dramatic upward curve to expect, but for a yard firing out winners at the rate Greenall and Guerriero are this season, finding the right race to get Cawthorne Cracker back in the winner's enclosure won't be far from their minds.
