Cancan In The Rain

The recent form tells a story of a horse that still has racing in it. Over the last six outings, there has been one win sandwiched among placings and mid-field finishes — the kind of inconsistency you see in a horse that can still get the job done on its day but is no longer a regular in the winners' enclosure. What stands out is Cancan In The Rain's class comfort: at Class 5 level, where much of its racing happens, it wins roughly 1 in every 5 races (3 wins from 14). Drop it into tougher company and the win rate flatlines. This horse knows where it belongs, and at Newmarket especially, in the right conditions and at the right level, it has shown it can still find the line ahead of rivals.

Notably, the horse raced just yesterday, so it remains actively campaigned. The long gap since that August 2025 Newmarket win suggests either injury, a break from racing, or simply a run of near misses, but the return to action confirms there is still appetite to get this one back into the winners' circle. For a 6-year-old with modest but dependable form, that is worth watching.
