Fanjove

What the record does show is a horse who has found his feet. His last six runs read 1-2-4-6-9-6 in reverse, meaning his most recent efforts have been his best — a win, then a runner-up finish, before a couple of less inspiring days out. He broke his duck at Newcastle in September 2025, then followed up at Wolverhampton in October. Two wins in the space of a month is exactly the kind of form that gets people excited about a young horse.

The conditions he likes are fairly specific, and knowing them matters. On normal ground — not too wet, not too dry — he has won 2 of his 6 races, a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in 3. That is a seriously strong number. At distances between seven furlongs and a mile, the picture is similar: 2 wins from 7 races at 29%, just under 1 in 3. He is a horse with a clear sweet spot, and when he hits it, he tends to deliver.

He has done most of his racing at the lower end of the grading system, and at that level he has been particularly effective — winning 2 of his 5 races there, a 40% win rate, meaning he has won 2 in every 5. Dunlop mentioned in April that the horse's sire famously won the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot at 150-1 on just his second career start, so there is a hint of the unexpected baked into the bloodline. Fanjove has not quite matched that drama, but for a young horse still learning his trade, two wins from 13 and a clear preference for certain conditions gives his team plenty to work with. He raced just yesterday, so whatever comes next is very close indeed.
