Most Wanted

The most recent win came at Fakenham just this week, and it followed a first career victory at Leicester in July 2025. Two wins in under a year, after what had been a long wait, is a meaningful shift in form. The latest result sits at the top of a recent sequence that reads 1-9-–-4-4-7 — uneven, certainly, but that win is right at the front of it, which is exactly where you want it.

Where Most Wanted genuinely comes alive is over longer distances. At 2 miles or more, the horse has won 1 from 4 races — that is a 25% win rate, which means winning 1 in every 4 races at that trip. For context, that is a strong return and notably better than its overall record suggests. It is the kind of stat that tells you the horse needs time and distance to get into its rhythm, and when it gets both, it is a different proposition entirely.

David Bridgwater trains Most Wanted from his yard in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, and the team has sent out 5 winners already this season — a solid run of form that suggests the yard is in decent health. Most Wanted has typically been asked to compete at Class 4 level, where it has yet to win from 5 attempts, so both victories have come in other company. That is worth watching — if Bridgwater can find the right race at the right distance, the Fakenham win this week may not be the last one.
