All Well And Good

The horse has won 2 of its last 6 races and finished in the top 3 in four of those outings, which tells a story of genuine ability at the level it competes at. Over its entire career, All Well And Good has claimed two wins and six top-3 finishes from just seven races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3 attempts. That kind of record at Class 4 level (where it has won 1 of its 3 races) is solid, consistent form. The partnership with Sean Bowen has worked particularly well: the jockey has ridden the horse to victory in 2 of their 6 races together, a win rate of 33 per cent, suggesting genuine compatibility.

Worcester holds the key to this horse's prospects. All Well And Good has won 2 of its 3 races at the track — an impressive record that speaks to something about how the course suits its running style or temperament. When trainer Olly Murphy's Wilmcote yard sent it back to Worcester on 23 May, it delivered, and there is every reason to think that course will feature prominently in its comeback plan. Murphy's operation has been prolific this season with 144 winners already, the kind of yard that knows how to bring a horse back from time away and get the best from it. All Well And Good's ten-month absence is a long one, but the quality of its recent form before the break — and its proven track record at its most favoured track — suggests it has the tools to make an impact when it runs again.
