The Anthony Gover

With 2 wins from 11 races, he's winning roughly 1 in every 5 starts. More encouraging is that he has picked up 2 victories in his last 6 outings, suggesting genuine improvement rather than a flash in the pan. He also finishes in the money often enough — 6 places alongside his 2 wins — which shows he is competitive even when he doesn't win. The recent form reads 3-1-1-2-3-6, meaning he has won once in his last six, placed twice, and only been beaten convincingly once. After racing yesterday, he is clearly active and being kept sharp by his trainer.

Wolverhampton clearly suits him. He has won 2 of his 5 races there — a 40% win rate at that track — which is well above his overall numbers. That kind of course specialist tendency often means a horse runs better on the surface or the layout there, or simply that the trainer knows how to place him there to best effect. On normal ground over his preferred distance, he becomes a genuinely interesting prospect. He is still young and clearly improving, and if he stays sound and continues to race in the conditions that suit him, there could be better days ahead.
