Kolkata Knight

Kolkata Knight has not won a race in eleven months, and that absence is starting to feel real. The three-year-old broke through with a victory at Hamilton Park in May 2025, then found the winner's circle again at Haydock Park in late September — but nothing since. Over the last six outings, there have been glimpses of ability: a fifth place and a fourth are decent efforts in a field, but mostly the results have been modest, with an 11th and a 15th among recent runs. From 12 races overall, the horse has won twice and been placed four times, which works out to a win rate of roughly one in every six races — decent enough for a young horse still finding its level, but the dry spell is notable.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The partnership with Pierre-Louis Jamin has been the bright spot. The jockey has ridden Kolkata Knight eight times and won twice, a win rate of one in four — markedly better than the horse's overall record, which suggests something clicks when they race together. Trainer Tom Dascombe, based at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, has been quietly successful this season with 22 winners from his yard, and he will be hoping to get Kolkata Knight back to winning ways. The horse raced just a day ago and is actively campaigned, so another chance is coming soon. Whether it can rediscover the form that brought those two wins earlier in the year remains to be seen, but the talent is clearly there — it just needs to surface again.
