Kayce Dutton

The Market Rasen record is the headline. Two wins from just 3 races there is a remarkable return — that's winning 2 in every 3 attempts at a course where most horses are lucky to win once. Compare that to the wider picture: at the level Kayce Dutton typically races at, the record reads just 1 win from 12 races, roughly 1 in every 12. The gap between those two numbers tells you almost everything. Something about that track suits this horse in a way that few others manage, and the yard clearly knows it. The most recent of those Market Rasen wins came in January 2026, just four months ago, so this is no fading memory — it happened recently and it happened in winter, on wet ground when plenty of horses find excuses.

Robert Dunne has been in the saddle more than anyone else, partnering Kayce Dutton in 7 of those 21 races and taking 1 win together — a rate of about 1 in 7, which mirrors the overall career win rate of roughly 1 in 7. The partnership is consistent if not spectacular, and that steadiness has value in itself.

Charles & Adam Pogson have sent out 12 winners already this season, which shows this is a yard in form — they're not just ticking over. Kayce Dutton first won back in July 2023 at Cork, which is an interesting detail: that's Ireland, suggesting some early mileage was put on this horse across the water before settling into the Farnsfield routine. The recent form shows a win followed by a second place in the last six runs, and with a race just yesterday, the horse is clearly fit and active. When the entries come up for Market Rasen, this one goes straight to the top of the list.
