Kates Choice
Kates Choice is a 6-year-old who has taken her time to find the winner's enclosure, landing just 1 win from 14 races — roughly 1 in every 14 outings. That's a modest record on paper, but the recent form tells a more optimistic story. Looking at the last six races in reverse order, the sequence reads 3-1-–-2-4-5, which means she has placed third, won, then placed second in three of her five completed runs. That's a horse who has quietly clicked into gear.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That win came at Ffos Las on 20 May 2026, and it was only three weeks ago — so she arrives at her latest race in the form of her life. Ffos Las is a tight, turning track in South Wales that rewards horses who know their way around it, and for a yard based in nearby Pandy, Monmouthshire, it is essentially the local track. Nikki Evans trains Kates Choice, and while the yard has sent out just 2 winners this season, Kates Choice accounts for one of them — making her arguably the stable's most important horse in the winner's column right now.
The one question mark is the partnership with regular jockey Ben Poste. He has ridden her five times without winning together, though it's worth noting the win on 20 May came in that same sequence, so the relationship clearly isn't broken. Kates Choice raced just one day ago, which means she is being kept busy — trainers who run horses in quick succession usually do so because they believe the horse is in a purple patch and want to make the most of it. Whether she can back up so quickly is the key question, but everything about her current form suggests she is a horse worth watching.
