Pawpaw

The horse's best partnership is with jockey Caoilin Quinn. When Quinn is in the saddle, Pawpaw's win rate jumps dramatically to 30 percent — three wins from ten races together. That is a meaningful difference and suggests they read each other well. Most recently, Quinn steered Pawpaw to victory at Hereford on 23 February 2025, its most recent win. The form line from the last six races — a win, two mid-field finishes, and a sixth-place — shows Pawpaw is still competitive, having won two of those six outings despite being nine years old. It raced just a day ago, so this is an active, working horse.

Pawpaw also has a strong affinity for Fontwell Park, winning two of four races there — a 50 percent win rate at that particular course. It also thrives on slightly soft ground, where it has won three times from eleven outings. That combination of a favourable track and the right conditions could be exactly what this horse needs. Trained by D. J. Jeffreys at Hinton on the Green in Worcestershire, Pawpaw remains a dependable performer at the lower end of the racing pyramid, the kind of horse that can pick up a race on its day, particularly when everything — the jockey, the course, and the conditions — aligns in its favour.
