Annie Express

There is something quietly compelling about a horse that finds its best form at a specific track, and Annie Express has made Ludlow very much her home. The eight-year-old has two wins from four races there — that is half her visits ending in victory, against a career average of winning roughly 1 in every 7 races overall (2 wins from 13). For a horse that had gone winless through eight races at the higher Class 4 level, finding a track and a trip that suits her has made all the difference.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her recent form tells a story of a horse coming alive. She has won 2 of her last 6 races, with both victories coming at Ludlow — the first in January 2026, the second just three weeks ago on 30 March. That kind of track affinity is not a coincidence. Some horses simply take to a particular layout, and Annie Express appears to be one of them. The gaps in her recent form (the dashes in between) suggest she has not always had things go smoothly, but when she turns up at Ludlow, she shows up ready.

Trainer Robbie Llewellyn, whose yard at Wroughton in Wiltshire has already sent out 14 winners this season, has spoken warmly about Annie Express for some time. He noted back in late 2023 that she had won a point-to-point before joining the yard and showed enough ability in a competitive mares' race at Exeter to give him real hope. He felt there was more to come over longer distances, and the suggestion was always that chasing — jumping fences rather than hurdles — could eventually be her game. That background in point-to-pointing, where horses race over fences across open countryside, hints at a natural jumping ability that could yet have more to offer.

She raced just yesterday, which makes her one of the more active horses in training right now. Whether Ludlow comes around again soon on the schedule will be the key question — because when it does, Annie Express has a habit of being the one to beat.
