Loup De Maulde

The most striking number in his profile is this: 3 wins from 4 races at Huntingdon. That is an extraordinary record at one track — he has won three-quarters of everything he has ever run there, which is the kind of stat that makes trainers circle a course on the calendar. His first career win came at Huntingdon in November 2022, and the track clearly suits him in ways that are hard to fully explain but impossible to ignore. When Loup De Maulde turns up at Huntingdon, you pay attention.

Conditions matter enormously with this horse. On wet or muddy ground, he has won 4 of 7 races — that is 57%, or better than 1 in every 2. On faster ground, he is a different proposition entirely. If it has been raining, he is worth a second look; if the sun has been out all week, probably less so. It is the kind of quirk that separates horses who just compete from horses who genuinely thrive under the right circumstances.

His recent form — two wins in his last six races — shows he still has plenty to give at nine, though his last victory came at Taunton in March 2024, now 25 months ago. His most recent three runs have produced a pair of fourth-place finishes and a mid-pack seventh, suggesting he is knocking on the door without quite forcing it open. One curiosity worth noting: regular jockey Jack Tudor has ridden him ten times without a win. That is not necessarily a red flag — partnerships take time — but it is a number that stands out.

Trained by Robbie Llewellyn out of Wroughton in Wiltshire — a yard that has sent out 13 winners already this season — Loup De Maulde is the kind of consistent, track-savvy horse that a small stable builds quietly around. Get him to Huntingdon on a wet day, and history suggests he will make things very interesting indeed.
