Mbappe

Named after one of football's biggest stars, this five-year-old has been quietly building a record worth paying attention to. Across 25 races, Mbappe has won 4 times and placed in 10 more — that's a podium finish in more than half its races, which tells you this is a horse that competes hard even when it doesn't win. A 16% win rate, roughly 1 in every 6 races, is solid at the level it operates at.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That level is mostly Class 6 — the entry-level tier of British racing — where Mbappe has won 3 of 16 races. That might sound modest, but consistency at any level takes real ability, and the horse has clearly found its comfort zone. What's more interesting is what happens when the ground dries out. On fast, dry ground, Mbappe wins 2 from 5 races — a 40% win rate that is genuinely eye-catching. That's not a fluke; that's a horse that transforms when conditions suit it.

The same pattern holds at Lingfield Park, where Mbappe has won 2 of just 4 races. Winning half your races at a track is the kind of number that makes trainers keep coming back. Kempton Park tells a similar story — that's where the career began with a first win in April 2024, and where the most recent victory came just two months ago in January 2026. A horse that wins at the same tracks repeatedly isn't lucky; it knows those venues, and those venues suit it.

The jockey partnership with Billy Loughnane is also worth flagging. Billy is the trainer's son, and when the two combine, the results are striking — 2 wins from 5 races together, a 40% win rate that dwarfs the overall career average. That's a partnership that clearly clicks. Trainer Mark Loughnane has had a productive season at Rock Farm in Worcestershire, sending out 26 winners, which suggests the yard is in good form heading into summer.

Mbappe hasn't raced in 53 days, so comes back here with a short freshening-up break behind it. Recent form reads 6-1-3-8-7-3 — a win second-last time out, a third most recently, and a couple of quieter runs in between. The horse is at its best over 7 furlongs to a mile, winning 3 from 9 races at those trips. If the ground comes up dry, Billy Loughnane is in the saddle, and the race is at a track it knows — this one is worth watching.
