Potters Charm
Potters Charm is a rare kind of horse: one that delivers almost every time you saddle him up. With eight wins from just fourteen races, he sits on a 57 per cent win rate—winning more than half the time he races. That alone puts him in elite company. But what makes him truly special is where he wins. He has taken on the best-class fields Britain has to offer and beaten them. Three of his eight career wins have come in Class 1 races, the top tier of British racing. He won at Cheltenham in November, at Aintree in December, and most recently at Fontwell in February—the kind of prestigious tracks and occasions that separate genuine equine athletes from ordinary horses.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The seven-year-old's record over the past six races tells a story of a horse at the peak of his powers. He has won three of those six outings, including victories at both ends of the winter season, and placed in four of them. Just this week, he returned to the track at Worcester to secure another win. Sam Twiston-Davies has been his regular pilot for most of the season, and together they have an outstanding partnership: seven wins from thirteen races, a 54 per cent win rate that speaks to genuine understanding between horse and jockey. Trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies and his son Willy, based at Naunton in Gloucestershire, have built something special with this horse. The yard itself has sent out 62 winners already this season, but Potters Charm stands out as their jewel—a genuine Grade 1 performer who handles all types of ground and has proved he stays two and a half miles comfortably. Cheltenham in particular brings out the best in him: two wins from four visits shows a real affinity for the track. Twiston-Davies has made clear the plan is to school him over fences next season, a natural progression for a horse of this calibre, and at seven he is still young enough to enjoy years of top-class racing ahead.
