We Got Your Back

The headline number is modest: 3 wins from 29 races works out to roughly 1 in every 10. But strip out the conditions that don't suit and the picture sharpens considerably. On wet or muddy ground, this horse has won 2 of its 5 races — that's 40%, which is an extraordinary return and suggests the trainer knows exactly what to look for on the weather forecast before entering. Similarly, over distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, the record reads 3 wins from 12 races, or 1 in every 4. That is a horse running in its comfort zone, at the right distance, on the right ground, doing serious damage.

Most of its racing has come at Class 5 level — the workmanlike tier of the sport where solid, honest horses grind out a living — and it has won 2 of 19 races at that grade. Adam Wedge rides most often, partnering the horse in 9 of those 29 races and sharing one of the wins. L J Morgan's yard at Waltham on the Wolds, Leicestershire, has sent out 14 winners this season, so there is clearly plenty going right at that operation. The first career win came at Leicester on 28 December 2024, and the most recent came at Hexham in October 2025 — about seven months ago now. Recent form shows no wins in the last six outings, though a second place in there suggests the spark has not entirely gone out.

What makes this horse worth knowing about is not a glittering CV — it is the specificity of when it fires. Get it on muddy ground, at a suitable distance, and suddenly you are looking at a horse that wins close to half its races. That is not a journeyman plodder; that is a horse with a very particular set of skills. It raced just one day ago and is clearly still active, still being campaigned. At eight, with the right conditions, there may well be another win somewhere in the calendar.
