Deep Havana

The real story here is how consistently it delivers. Deep Havana won its debut at Chelmsford back in November 2023, then came back this week to win at Thirsk on 28 August. That's the kind of long career arc that suggests genuine class: horses don't usually hang around for nearly three years and keep winning unless they're doing something right. Of its last three races, it has won two of them. The only blemish in recent form is a third-place finish sandwiched between those two victories, which hardly dents the record.

Hamad Al Jehani trains the horse at Newmarket, a yard that has already sent out 18 winners this season. That's solid foundation work—the kind of training operation that knows how to get a horse ready and keep it in one piece. For a horse with only three career races to already have established itself as a reliable winner suggests the yard understands what it has. With Deep Havana still active and proving itself week after week, this is a horse that rewards watching.
