Wheres The Crumpet

The win record is modest: 4 from 45, roughly 1 in every 11 races. All four of those wins have come at Class 6 level, where Wheres The Crumpet has won 4 of 33 races (about 1 in 8). That is not a horse setting the world alight, but it is a horse that knows its arena. The first win came at Newcastle in March 2024, and the most recent at Carlisle in May 2025 — a gap of over a year from that point to now, and currently six races without a win. The recent form figures of 8-9-11-10-8-7 paint a picture of a horse that has been finishing mid-pack or towards the rear, which will concern anyone hoping for an upturn in the short term.

Where there is genuine encouragement is over seven furlongs to a mile. In that distance range, Wheres The Crumpet has won 1 from 4 races — a 25% win rate, meaning it wins 1 in every 4 times it lines up at that trip. That is a meaningfully better return than its overall record suggests, and it hints that getting the distance right could be the difference between a placing and a win.

The partnership with jockey Phil Dennis is worth noting. In 10 races together, they have won 2 — a 20% win rate, or 1 in every 5 rides. That is more than double the horse's overall average and suggests something clicks between the two. Trainer David Thompson, based in Bolam in County Durham, has had 9 winners on the board this season, so the yard is in decent nick. Whether Wheres The Crumpet can add to that tally is the question — but given it raced just yesterday, the team clearly believes there is still something left to find.
