Poppycat
Poppycat is a five-year-old with just one race under her belt, finishing second on her only outing — which came just yesterday, so the mud is barely dry. No wins yet, but a runner-up finish first time out is a perfectly decent starting point, and it tells you the horse is competitive enough to mix it with others straight away.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trainer Nigel Hawke operates out of Stoodleigh in Devon, a smaller yard that has still managed to send out 12 winners this season — a solid return that suggests Hawke knows what he's doing with his horses. Poppycat is right at the beginning of her story, and with an active trainer in form behind her, there's every reason to think yesterday's second place is the first chapter rather than the whole book.
