Patrol

There is a very specific version of Patrol that shows up and wins: put it on normal ground, at Southwell, over a staying trip of a mile and three-quarters or more, and this four-year-old becomes a different animal. Two wins from just four visits to Southwell is a remarkable return — that is a 50% win rate at a track where most horses are lucky to win once every five or six attempts. It has clearly figured something out there, whether that is the tight, flat circuit or the surface itself.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Trained by Dylan Cunha out of Newmarket, Patrol is part of a yard that has been in fine form this season, sending out 45 winners. The overall career record reads three wins and ten places from 23 races — winning roughly 1 in every 8 outings — which is solid without being spectacular at the Class 4 level where it mostly competes. At that level, one win from nine races (about 11%) tells you it is more often thereabouts than pulling clear, but the place money suggests it is rarely out of the picture entirely.

When Rhys Clutterbuck is in the saddle, the picture improves sharply. Together they have won 2 of their 5 races — 40%, or two in every five — which is a strong partnership record and worth noting if you see his name on the racecard. The horse's best performances also tend to come on normal ground, where it has won 3 from 11 races (27%), confirming it wants the surface to ride fairly true rather than soft and testing.

The one concern heading in is that Patrol has not won in its last six races, with recent finishes of 8th, 5th, 7th, 7th, 3rd, and 5th suggesting it is ticking along without threatening to take a race. It raced just yesterday, so it is clearly kept busy, but the form line is flat. The last win came at Southwell in April 2025 — so the track specialist tag is recent and real, not ancient history. If Cunha points it back to Southwell over a staying trip on decent ground, the record says do not write it off.
