Kashchei
Kashchei is a 6-year-old horse who has taken a long road to find the winner's circle. Trained by
Cian Collins at Navan, the horse finally broke through with a victory at Kelso on 6 May 2026—a breakthrough that came after 13 previous races without success. Since that win four months ago, Kashchei has managed just one place finish in six outings, suggesting that maiden victory has proved difficult to build upon. The horse has won just once from 14 career races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 14 attempts, though it has picked up six placing finishes to show some consistency at a modest level.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form makes for sobering reading. In the last six races, Kashchei has managed only a second place and a third, with runs of fifth and seventh position mixed in—the kind of results that suggest a horse struggling to find its rhythm. The second-place finish was the most promising sign, but the gaps between competitive runs have widened. Raced just a day ago, Kashchei remains active and in work, which means Collins has not given up on finding a more suitable race. Whether the horse can recapture the form that brought that May victory at Kelso will likely depend on finding the right conditions and company—the holy grail for any horse at this level of the sport.
