Mickey Mongoose

That might sound unspectacular, but for a horse competing mainly at Class 6 level — the lower rungs of British racing — it suggests genuine reliability. He has finished in the top 3 nine times beyond those wins, so he knows how to get competitive and stay competitive.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The real story, though, is Southwell. This horse is a track specialist, and a good one: four wins from 24 races there translates to winning roughly one in every six visits. That's nearly double his overall win rate, which is the kind of edge that makes trainers plan their campaigns carefully. His last victory came at Southwell on 7 May 2026, five months ago now, so there is some time since his most recent success. His recent form has been patchy — a win two races back followed by three middling efforts — which is typical of a horse at his level grinding through the season.

Olly Williams trains Mickey Mongoose at Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, and the horse has a productive partnership with jockey Duran Fentiman, who has steered him to 2 wins from 10 races together. That's a 20% win rate, well above the horse's career average, suggesting they work well together. With Mickey Mongoose still active and currently racing, Williams will be looking to get him back to the track where he thrives — Southwell — and chase another win to add to his tally. For a horse of his age and experience, consistency matters more than brilliance, and that is exactly what Mickey Mongoose has delivered.
