Enemy

The most striking chapter of Enemy's career is a love affair with Southwell. From just four races at the track, the horse has won twice — that is a 50% win rate at a single venue, which in racing terms borders on the extraordinary. Southwell's all-weather surface clearly suits Enemy down to the ground, and the yard has leaned into that. The most recent win came on New Year's Day 2026, just three months ago, which means this is no fading veteran living on past glories — Enemy is still delivering.

Ian Williams, the trainer based in Alvechurch in Worcestershire, has had a productive season with 92 winners sent out, and Enemy fits neatly into a yard that clearly knows how to place its horses well. Richard Kingscote is the most frequent rider, partnering Enemy in 10 of its 36 races, though that combination has only produced one win together. Enemy's best form tends to come on normal ground — two wins from seven races on a standard surface, a win rate of 29% — and over a distance of a mile and three to four furlongs, where one win from four runs at 25% hints at a horse that really comes alive when given enough room to stretch out.

Recent form tells a story of a horse in decent shape. In the last six races, there has been a win, two thirds, a second, and a couple of mid-pack finishes — nothing alarming. Last raced 30 days ago and still active, Enemy looks like a horse with another chapter still to write, particularly if the yard — if the team at Alvechurch — point it back toward Southwell.
