Mr Griffiths

What is most striking about Mr Griffiths is how quickly he found form once he got going. His first career win came at Fontwell Park in January 2026, and he followed it up with a second win at Warwick the following month. Back-to-back wins is no coincidence — it suggests a horse that had figured something out, whether that was the level he belongs at or simply a trainer getting conditions exactly right. At the Class 5 level, where he does most of his racing, he has won 2 of his 4 races, which is a remarkable 50% — winning every other race at that grade is the kind of consistency that catches attention.

He runs out of the yard of Jonjo and A J O'Neill, based in Cheltenham, and it is worth knowing what that means. The O'Neill operation has sent out 52 winners already this season — this is a busy, well-resourced yard that knows how to place a horse to give it the best chance. When a horse is trained by people who win that often, the planning behind each race tends to be sharp.

His recent form reads 5-5-–-1-1-8, which tells an interesting story. Those two wins sit right in the middle of the sequence — the highlight of his career so far — bookended by some less impressive efforts. His last two runs have produced fifth-place finishes, which is not alarming but does suggest he has not yet kicked on from those wins. He last raced just a day ago, meaning whatever happened next is the freshest chapter in his story. Mr Griffiths is a horse in the middle of working out exactly what he is capable of, and at 50% at his preferred level, there is every reason to think the best may still be ahead.
