Popalot
Four races, zero wins, and a best finish of third — on paper, Popalot hasn't given punters a great deal to shout about just yet. The five-year-old has finished fifth twice and sixth once in its other outings, making that third place the clear highlight of a career still searching for a breakthrough.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Peter Niven at his yard in Barton-le-Street, North Yorkshire, Popalot is at least in capable hands. Niven's team has sent out 12 winners already this season, which suggests there's plenty of ability moving through the stable — Popalot just hasn't found the right opportunity to join that list. With the horse having raced just one day ago, it's clearly fit and active, and there's every chance the yard — sorry, the yard — will keep trying to find the right spot.
At this stage, Popalop is a horse with something still to prove. But every winner was once a horse without a win to its name.
