Mart
Mart is a mid-level performer who knows how to win on the right day, though lately those days have been few and far between. The five-year-old has picked up 7 wins from 53 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 starts — which puts him in the zone where he can compete at Class 5, the lower rungs of flat racing, but rarely threatens anything more ambitious. What is telling is where those wins come from: he has won 6 of his 7 races at Class 5 level, and 2 of his 8 races on normal ground, which suggests he performs best in straightforward conditions against ordinary opposition. At Lingfield Park, where he won his career debut on 27 October 2023, he has recorded 5 of his 7 wins — a stark reminder that some horses simply suit certain tracks, and Mart clearly thrives at this Surrey course.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The bad news is that Mart has not crossed the line first in his last six races. His recent form reads 6-3-4-6-3, which means a mix of placings and runs out of the frame, but nothing that looks like a horse about to break through. His last win came at Lingfield Park on 31 May 2025, now 15 months in the past — a long drought for any racehorse. When partnered with regular jockey Rhys Clutterbuck, Mart performs noticeably better, winning 3 of 14 races together (a 21% win rate), compared to his overall 13%, which suggests they have found a workable rhythm. Trained by D Donovan at Newmarket, Mart remains an active runner — he raced just yesterday — and while the yard is modest (3 winners this season), it seems committed to keeping him competitive. For anyone watching, Mart is a classic mid-card horse: capable of rewarding patience on the odd occasion, but more likely to finish midfield than win at generous odds.
