Katalyst

The horse is trained by William Muir and Chris Grassick at their Lambourn yard, which has been in good form this season with twenty winners to their name. Lewis Edmunds has been Katalyst's regular jockey, taking the ride in five races, though that partnership has yet to produce a win. At the level Katalyst typically competes at — Class 5 races — it has managed one placing from five attempts, suggesting it sits on the borderline of what it can realistically achieve. For a horse that has now had plenty of opportunities to break through, the clock is ticking. Three-year-olds who have not won by this stage of their career often find chances harder to come by as they age, and at some point the yard will need to decide whether Katalyst has the ability to reach the winner's circle, or whether it is better suited to a different kind of future.
