Keldeo

There is something almost quietly stubborn about a horse who keeps turning up, and Keldeo — a five-year-old trained by Ollie Pears out of Norton in North Yorkshire — has done exactly that across 32 races. Five wins and 13 places from those 32 outings works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 races, which is respectable rather than spectacular. But the raw numbers only tell part of the story.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The more interesting number is three wins from seven races at Catterick Bridge. That is a conversion rate of nearly 1 in every 2 races at a single track, which is genuinely unusual. Most horses drift in and out of form without any obvious pattern; Keldeo seems to find something extra when the stalls open at Catterick. Whether it is the tight, turning nature of the course or simply familiarity, the results speak for themselves. The most recent of those wins came in April 2026, just two months ago, so this is not a horse living off a distant memory.

Keldeo tends to operate at Class 5, the bread-and-butter level of British racing rather than the glamour end, and has taken 4 of his 5 career wins at that grade. That context matters — Class 5 is competitive in its own way, and winning there consistently still requires a horse to bring its best. Pears's yard has been in decent form this season, sending out 9 winners already, so Keldeo is part of a functioning operation rather than a lone bright spot.

Jockey Cam Hardie has been in the saddle for 19 of those 32 races, winning 2 of them together — roughly 1 in every 10 rides. That is a workmanlike record, and the partnership has clearly been trusted enough to keep going. Recent form of 2-4-4-4-1-5 shows a winner sandwiched between placings, which is exactly the pattern you would expect from a horse operating reliably at its level without threatening to suddenly move up the ranks. Raced just one day ago, Keldeu is very much in the thick of a busy campaign — and if Catterick comes around again soon, the yard will fancy their chances.
