Most Wanted
Most Wanted has had to settle for a modest career. At eight years old and still active, the horse has managed just two wins from 23 races — winning roughly one in every eleven attempts. Neither success came easy: the first arrived at Leicester in July 2025, and the second followed nearly a year later at Fakenham in May 2026. Since that second win five months ago, the horse has not found the winner's enclosure, though it has picked up three top-3 finishes in its last six races, which suggests there is still some fight left.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The real question with Most Wanted is one of level. At top-tier Class 4 events, the horse has a blank record from five attempts — a clear sign that this is where the ceiling sits. The sweet spot appears to be around the 1m1f to 1m2f distance, where Most Wanted has won one of seven races (a 14% success rate at that trip). Jockey Brendan Powell, who has ridden the horse five times, holds a notably better record together than the overall figures suggest: one win from five rides means Powell is winning one in every five times he partners the horse, more than double the win rate Most Wanted manages overall. That partnership might be worth watching, particularly if the trainer David Bridgwater — who runs a modest yard at Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire — spots an opportunity at the right distance and class level. With the yard having already sent out six winners this season, there is at least some form in the stable.
