Williethebuilder

The most striking thing about him right now is his recent form. Two wins from his last six races is a sharp upturn in a career that had ticked along without ever quite catching fire. His first win came at Uttoxeter back in September 2023, and he has been building steadily since. The most recent of those victories came at Kempton Park in January 2026 — and crucially, he raced just one day ago, meaning he is very much in the thick of his season right now.

Ground conditions matter with this horse, and the numbers make that clear. On normal ground he has won 3 of his 10 races — that is 30%, or nearly 1 in every 3 outings. Compare that to his overall record and you can see he is a different animal when the track is riding as it should. He is not a horse who thrives in the mud or benefits from firm, quick ground. Get him out on a fair surface and he becomes genuinely competitive.

He runs mostly at Class 3 level — one step below the top tier, the kind of races that attract decent, battle-hardened horses without quite being championship events. Winning 3 of his 13 races at that level, roughly 1 in every 4 attempts, shows he belongs there and can beat that standard of horse on his day.

Harry Skelton, one of the sharper jockeys in the jumping game, has ridden him seven times and won twice — a win rate of 29%, or nearly 1 in 3. That is a meaningful partnership. Behind the scenes, Christian Williams trains him from a yard on the Welsh coast at Ogmore-By-Sea, and with 23 winners already on the board this season, it is clear the team is in good form. A horse with two wins in his last six races, trained by a yard firing on all cylinders — Williethebuilder is worth watching.
