Manton Road
Manton Road is a 4-year-old that has found its feet at Wolverhampton, the Midlands track where it has won 3 of its 10 races there. That 30 per cent win rate at one venue is the kind of specialist form that punters love to chase, and it explains why the horse keeps returning to familiar ground. Its last success came seven weeks ago at that same track, and it has shown enough consistency since to suggest there will be more wins to come: across its last six races, it has finished in the frame five times, with only one poor effort outside the top five. That kind of recent form keeps a horse active and competitive.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Overall, Manton Road has won 5 races from 36 outings—roughly 1 win in every 7 attempts—which is modest but honest for a horse campaigned at Class 6 level, where it wins about 1 in 6 races. Where it truly shines is over intermediate distances between seven furlongs and a mile, a trip where it has won 4 of its 15 races (27%), well above its career average. Luke Morris, who has ridden it for 12 races, is clearly the horse's lucky charm: he has steered it home 4 times, a winning win rate of one in three that stands out sharply against the horse's overall record. Trained by Richard Phillips at Adlestrop in Gloucestershire, Manton Road is still racing actively and will likely find opportunities back at Wolverhampton where it knows the track intimately and has proved it can win there.
