Kottayam
Kottayam is a 6-year-old horse that has now completed ten races without a win, though it has managed two placings along the way. Trained by
Dave Roberts at Kenley in Shropshire, the horse competes mostly at Class 4 level — mid-tier racing where the prize money is modest and the competition is steady. Over five attempts at that grade, Kottayam has not yet crossed the line first.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's recent form has been inconsistent. In its last six outings, it finished ninth, then fourth, then tenth, with two unrecorded absences in between, before finishing sixth most recently — just a day ago. Lee Edwards, the jockey who has ridden Kottayam most often, has partnered the horse six times without a breakthrough. Despite the lack of wins, Roberts's yard itself has been productive this season, sending out six winners, which suggests the team knows how to train a horse to the frame. For Kottayam, however, that elusive first victory continues to wait.
