Habrdi

Across a 25-race career, Habrdi has won 4 times and finished in the places on 5 further occasions — a win rate of around 1 in every 6 races, or 16%. That's a perfectly respectable record at the level it typically competes at, which sits in the solid middle tier of British racing. Two of those four career wins have come at that level, winning roughly 1 in every 6 races at that grade across 12 attempts. The first career win came at Brighton back in October 2023, which feels like a different era given how consistently the horse has performed since finding its feet.

Recent form tells a promising story. Reading the last six results from most recent backwards — a win, then a third, then a ninth, then a win, then a fourth, then an eighth — there's a horse that can be inconsistent but is clearly capable of hitting top gear on the right day. Back-to-back results of a win and a third from the last two outings suggest the horse is coming into a good patch right now, which matters a great deal given it raced just yesterday and is very much in the thick of things.

Ruth Carr's yard is in fine form this season, having already sent out 62 winners — a strong return that suggests horses leaving Stillington are arriving at the track ready to run. Regular jockey James Sullivan has partnered Habrdi in 12 of its 25 races, winning once together, a rate of roughly 1 in 12. That partnership hasn't set the world alight on paper, but the fact they keep lining up together suggests there's a working relationship there. When the track is Wolverhampton and the horse is fresh off a win, Habrdi is exactly the kind of runner worth paying attention to.
