Lord Cauvelliere

The past year and a half, however, has been difficult. Lord Cauvelliere hasn't won since that May 2025 triumph at Stratford, and his recent form tells a story of a horse struggling to find his feet. His last six runs have produced a string of mid-field efforts—seventh, then sixth, fifth, fourth, seventh again—the kind of form that suggests he's treading water rather than progressing. He raced just yesterday, which confirms he's still very much active, but there's no escaping the fact that he's winless in his last six outings.

Trainer Sheila Lewis, based at Brecon in Powys, has had a modest season with 4 winners overall, and Lord Cauvelliere hasn't been among them. The horse has been partnered most often by jockey Callum Pritchard, who has managed to steer him to victory once from their five rides together—a 20% win rate in that partnership, which is double his overall win rate. That suggests there might be a spark when Pritchard is in the saddle, even if it's yet to reignite.

One concern is his record in Class 4 races, where he's found the step up in quality particularly difficult: he hasn't won in four attempts at that level, posting zeros across the board. Lord Cauvelliere remains a horse capable of the occasional decent effort, but at five years old with just one win to his name and 17 months without success, he needs to turn things around soon or risk drifting further down the grades.
