Concert Party

Those wins arrived at Sandown Park in September 2025 and then at Bath the following month, which tells an interesting story on its own. Back-to-back wins at two different tracks in the space of a few weeks is the kind of form that suggests a horse that has genuinely clicked into gear rather than stumbling into a lucky result. The recent form figures do show some patchy runs either side of that purple patch — a 9th, 6th, 14th and 10th in the other runs — so Concert Party can be inconsistent, but when things fall right, this horse delivers.

The partnership with jockey Sean Levey looks worth noting. In 6 races together, Levey has steered Concert Party to both of its wins — that's 2 wins from 6 attempts, or a win rate of 33%, which is genuinely strong. For context, winning a third of your races with any horse is the kind of number that gets people paying attention. When Levey takes the ride, Concert Party is clearly a different proposition.

Behind the scenes, the training comes from Denis Gerard Hogan, operating out of Cloughjordan in County Tipperary. The yard has sent out 58 winners this season, which marks it out as a serious operation — not a small stable getting lucky, but a team that clearly knows how to place horses in races they can win. Concert Party's best results have come over distances of around a mile and a mile and two furlongs, and at Class 5 level — the entry-level tier of British flat racing — the horse has won 2 from 4 races, a 50% win rate that is frankly exceptional at any level.

After a break of around 59 days, Concert Party is fresh and due a run. Whether this horse can kick on into better company remains to be seen, but right now, with the right jockey and at the right distance, it has shown it is genuinely hard to beat.
