The horse's recent record reads 4-1-1, which means it was fourth most recently, but before that came a win and a place. That fourth-place finish came after a long break of 225 days, so seven months away from the track. The last confirmed wins paint a picture of a horse that had momentum: a victory in a Class 2 race at Kempton Park on artificial surface back in July 2025, preceded by a first career win at Leicester in April. Two wins from the last three races suggests Skimmer had found its feet at the right moment.
Trained by Harry Charlton at Beckhampton in Wiltshire, Skimmer is part of a yard that has been performing well this season, sending out 38 winners already. Charlton will now need to rebuild Skimmer's race fitness after the long absence. The fourth-place finish at the most recent attempt is worth noting — not a disaster given the time away, but a reminder that seven months out of action takes its toll. For a horse with such a strong win rate early in its career, the real question now is whether Skimmer can slip back into that earlier form or whether that long break has interrupted its rhythm.
