Ellerton
Ellerton has shown real promise in the last couple of months, winning twice in his last six races and looking like a horse with genuine winning form in him. The six-year-old arrived at
Joe Tizzard's Dorset yard from Syd Hosie's stable last season and made an immediate impression, scoring on his first race for the trainer at Wincanton back in March. That early success set the tone, and now Ellerton seems to have hit a stride — his most recent win came just five weeks ago at Newton Abbot, where he has become something of a specialist, winning 2 of his 7 races at the track.

📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Over his career, Ellerton has been selective about when he wins: 3 victories from 19 races puts him at a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 attempts, which is hardly spectacular, but his consistency is better than that headline figure suggests. He has 10 place finishes too, meaning he finishes in the money more than half the time. The horse clearly prefers normal ground conditions, winning 2 from 7 races on that surface, and he struggles in top company — he has never won at Class 4 level despite six attempts, which tells you he finds races against stronger opposition challenging. But the trainer is confident there are more wins to come, and given Ellerton is currently active and was last out just a day ago, those opportunities will come soon enough.
