Francisco
Francisco is a steady campaigner who knows how to find the winner's circle, even if those moments don't come often. The 5-year-old has won twice in 24 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 races — and has been placed 10 times, marking him out as a horse that consistently runs well enough to get near the front but rarely gets over the line. What's more striking is that he tends to show up when conditions suit him: on normal ground, he wins about 1 in every 7 or 8 races, which is double his overall win rate. That suggests
Patrick Chamings, his trainer at Baughurst, knows the kind of surface Francisco prefers and targets accordingly.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His two victories came close together in late April 2026 — first at Wolverhampton, then at Lingfield Park just a day later — but since that back-to-back success five months ago, he has not won in his last six races. His recent form reads 7-8-4-6-8-6, with that fourth-place finish being his best result in that spell, so he has been drifting somewhat. Interestingly, his form suggests he performs best over distances between 7 furlongs and a mile, where he has recorded both his wins from 15 attempts, but when asked to run in the highest-level races available to him — Class 1 or 2 events — he has yet to break through. Alfie Redman, his regular jockey, has partnered him in eight races and notched one win together, a win rate of 12 percent. With the horse having raced just yesterday, he remains an active competitor in Patrick Chamings's yard, which has been in decent form this season with nine winners to its name.
