Fix At All

The most striking thing about Fix At All is what happens when conditions and course align. On slightly soft, cut-in-the-ground going, this horse transforms: 2 wins from just 5 races on that surface works out at 40%, which is exceptional. Most horses at this level win at somewhere between 10 and 20 percent. At double that rate on a specific surface, you are looking at a horse that genuinely thrives in particular conditions rather than merely tolerating them. Pair that with its record at Ludlow — 2 wins from 4 visits, where it also scored its first career win back in March 2023 — and Fix At All starts to look like the kind of horse whose entries are worth tracking closely when the forecast turns damp and Ludlow appears on the schedule.

At Class 4 level, the horse has won 3 of 9 races — meaning it wins 1 in every 3 at that grade, which is a genuinely strong record and suggests it operates comfortably within that company. Its last win came at Hereford in May 2024, now almost two years ago, and it has not found the winner's enclosure in its last 6 races. That said, recent form reads 2-3-2-3, meaning it has finished second or third in four of its last available completed runs — it is placing consistently, just not quite converting. The horse raced as recently as yesterday, so it is clearly in good health and being kept busy.

Richie McLernon rides Fix At All most often, having partnered it in 9 races for 1 win together. The trainer has spoken about bigger ambitions — including a possible tilt at the Aintree Foxhunters', one of jump racing's most celebrated amateur contests — though they acknowledged timing and qualification would need to fall right. More likely, Fix At All continues doing what it does best: placing reliably, waiting for soft ground and a trip to Ludlow, and reminding everyone why course-and-distance specialists are always worth a second look.
