Gethin

The quality of those wins matters too. Both its October 2024 victory at Nottingham and its April 2025 success at Newbury came in Class 2 races — one step below the very top level in Britain. Winning at that level once is an achievement. Winning twice, at different tracks, suggests this is a horse that turns up and performs when the competition gets serious. Most horses spend years trying to reach that standard. Gethin got there in its first season and came back for more.

Recent form makes it even harder to argue against. The last five results read 2-1-2-1-1 — two wins sandwiching a couple of runner-up finishes, with another win at Kempton Park as recently as April 2026. That's not a hot streak that appeared from nowhere; it's a horse consistently mixing it with good opponents and coming out on top more often than not.

Behind all of this is trainer Owen Burrows, who operates out of Lambourn in Berkshire — one of the most respected training centres in the country. His yard has sent out 30 winners already this season, which tells you this isn't a small outfit getting lucky. Burrows knows how to place a horse well and how to keep one in form, and Gethin looks like a prime example of that patience paying off. With the horse still active and having raced just a day ago, there's clearly more to come.
