Double Digits

Trained by Ann Hamilton at Capheaton in Northumberland, Double Digits has benefited from a stable partnership with jockey Danny McMenamin, who has ridden it 12 times and won on three of those occasions — a 25% win rate together that outpaces the horse's form overall. Their most recent success came at Sedgefield on 4 February 2026, over eight months ago, but the horse remains active. In its last six races it has placed second twice, third twice, finished fifth once, and fourth once — a stretch of form that shows consistency without the sparkle of a winner, the kind of run that frustrates the yard but suggests the horse still has competitive races in it.

First to the post at Carlisle on 8 April 2025, Double Digits proved it could break its duck when conditions aligned. Now, eight years old and with modest prize money to its name, it fits the profile of a horse that has found its level — capable of winning when stepped down to Class 4 company, reliable in the placings, and still racing regularly under the same team. For a trainer like Ann Hamilton, who has sent out nine winners this season, Double Digits represents the kind of steady, bread-and-butter performer that keeps a small yard ticking over.
