Horwich

The first of those wins came in mid-December 2025, and it struck again at Wolverhampton on 27 January this year. Since then, nothing. The horse has had six races in the past seven months without crossing the line first, though it has placed three times in that spell, most recently running fourth just a day ago. Those recent efforts suggest the engine is still there — fourth place is respectable — but Horwich hasn't recaptured that winning touch. It's trained by Ruth Carr's yard at Stillington in North Yorkshire, a stable that has been firing on all cylinders this season with 56 winners already, so the infrastructure to get it back on track is in place. Whether Horwich can rediscover the form it showed at Wolverhampton in the new year, or whether a return to that track might spark another win, remains to be seen. For now, it's a horse with genuine ability at specific conditions who is waiting for a breakthrough.
