Dan Skelton

Long-time assistant to multiple Champion Trainer Paul Nicholls, Dan Skelton made an immediate impression on his switch to the training ranks a decade ago and is now firmly established as one of the leading National Hunt trainers in the UK.

A multiple Grade 1 and Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer, the Skelton yard is a family affair, with brother Harry winning the Jockeys’ Championship in 2020-21.

We are delighted to have our first horse in training with Dan in 2024, leasing dual winner Cottie from the Skelton family’s Alne Park Stud.
