Hostility
Hostility has done most of his winning at a single track, which is where the real story of this four-year-old lies. Based at
David O'Meara's Upper Helmsley yard in North Yorkshire—a stable that has sent out 101 winners this season—Hostility has carved out a small but meaningful niche for himself at Carlisle, where he has won 2 of his 6 races there. Both victories came on normal ground conditions, which suits him far better than wet or dry extremes; on those favourable surfaces, he wins roughly 1 in every 7 races across his career. Over distances between seven furlongs and a mile, his sweet spot, he has taken 2 wins from 16 attempts—a modest but consistent record at that trip.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His win rate overall tells you this is a horse who finds winning difficult. With 2 wins from 24 races, he wins roughly once every 12 outings, and his form sheet reads like a horse who keeps himself competitive without quite delivering the breakthrough. His last victory came on 11 August at Carlisle, two months ago, and his recent runs show the inconsistency you might expect: a win followed by a third, then a ninth, then another third, before dropping away to sixth most recently. That said, he remains active and lightly campaigned, which suggests his the yard believe there is more to come. At Class 5 level—the lower end of the scale—he has yet to win, suggesting he competes best when the grade drops slightly and the field is within his reach. For a horse with modest statistics, Hostility's Carlisle record gives him a genuine identity.
