Kiwi de Cotte
Kiwi de Cotte is a horse that knows what it likes, and right now that thing is Market Rasen. The six-year-old has won twice from six races overall — a respectable 33 percent win rate — but both victories have come at the same track. That is no accident. On normal ground conditions, Kiwi de Cotte wins half its races, two victories from four attempts. Take away those two wins and the record becomes much tighter: just two places from two races elsewhere or on different terrain. This is a horse with a clear preference, and a smart trainer who recognises it.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Dan Skelton's yard near Alcester has been firing on all cylinders this season, sending out 198 winners, so Kiwi de Cotte is in good hands. The horse last won six weeks ago at Market Rasen on 15 August 2026, and has shown form since: a third-place finish in its most recent race just a day ago suggests it is still sharp and ready. The recent form reads 3-5-1-3-1 over the last five runs — a mix of near misses and a win, with no disasters. This is a horse that turns up and competes.
What makes Kiwi de Cotte interesting is its consistency rather than brilliance. It wins roughly one race in every three, places regularly, and seems to have found its level. For a six-year-old, that kind of reliable form is valuable. The question for the yard is whether to keep running it at Market Rasen, where it thrives on normal ground, or to test it elsewhere. So far, the evidence suggests sticking to what works.
