What makes Can Happen worth watching right now is the recent uptick in form. The horse has won two of its last six races, including a victory just this week at Navan on 19 September. That freshness is important — races yesterday mean the horse is fit and in the yard's thoughts, not gathering dust in a paddock. The last six runs show 1-5-9-2-1, which reads as a second place, a win, a second place again, a ninth, a fifth, and another win. There is decent action in that pattern: two wins in the last month, with placings either side suggesting the horse runs well consistently and occasionally hits the target. For a horse trained by Peter John Flood, who has sent out just one winner this season, Can Happen represents a chunk of the yard's recent success.
The horse broke through first at Ballinrobe back in May and has since added the September win, so there is a rhythm to these victories. On normal ground, Can Happen knows how to deliver. That is the key detail for anyone watching the card over the coming weeks — pitch it on a standard surface and this horse has earned the right to be respected.
