Old Habits
Old Habits, a 5-year-old trained by
Olly Murphy at Wilmcote in Warwickshire, has found his form at exactly the right moment. Raced just a day ago, he is very much an active runner, and his recent sequence tells a story of genuine improvement. In his last three outings, he has finished third, second, and first — a progression that suggests this horse is heading in the right direction. His maiden win came at Southwell on 2 December 2025, and since then he has added two top-3 finishes to build what looks like a genuine winning campaign.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The broader picture is encouraging. Old Habits has won 1 of his 4 career races — a 33 per cent win rate that sits well above what most horses manage over a career. More tellingly, he has finished in the top 3 in three of those four races, which means he is consistent and competitive at his level. Given that he is currently racing and has already been out twice in recent weeks, Murphy's yard — which sent out 146 winners this season — clearly has him in the mix and ready to strike again. With that kind of recent form and a proven track record at Southwell, Old Habits looks a horse who knows how to get the job done.
