Mart

The Newmarket yard of Dylan Cunha has had a productive season — 45 winners sent out is a serious number, and it tells you this is an operation that knows how to place horses where they can win. Mart fits that picture well. Six of its seven career wins have come at Class 5 level, winning 6 from 25 races at that grade — that's 24%, or nearly 1 in every 4 attempts. When the conditions are right and the competition is pitched correctly, this horse delivers.

Normal ground is where Mart is happiest. On standard conditions it has won 2 from 8 races — a 25% win rate, which means roughly 1 in every 4 runs on its preferred surface has ended in victory. That matters because horses who are fussy about the ground can disappear for weeks or months when the weather doesn't cooperate. Mart at least has a surface it genuinely performs on.

Lingfield Park is the course where Mart's story started and, so far, where it has been most recently told. The first career win came there in October 2023, and the most recent win — May 2025 — was also at Lingfield. There's something to be said for a horse that keeps coming back to the same track and keeps delivering there.

The partnership with jockey Rhys Clutterbuck is worth noting. In 14 races together they've won 3 times — a 21% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5 rides. That's noticeably better than Mart's overall average, which suggests the combination works. The recent run of six races without a win won't concern anyone too much given Mart raced just yesterday and remains active. A horse with this profile tends not to stay winless for long when the right race comes along.
