Campani

Campani competes mainly at Class 6, the entry-level tier of flat racing in Britain, and at that level has won 2 of 6 races — that is 1 in every 3, which is genuinely strong. Class 6 might not sound glamorous, but placing horses in the right races is an art, and a 33% win rate at any level suggests this horse is being placed thoughtfully and is delivering when it matters. That is the work of David Simcock, the Newmarket trainer who has sent out 39 winners already this season — a yard clearly in fine form.

The first career win came at Brighton in August 2025, and then Campani followed up with a second victory at Chelmsford in January 2026 — all-weather, floodlit, a very different test to a summer afternoon on the Sussex coast. Winning on both surfaces shows a degree of versatility that not every horse at this level can claim. That Chelmsford win was four months ago now, so the yard will be keen to add a third.

Recent form reads 3-1-7-7-1-2 going back six races, which is a little uneven — those two mid-sequence sevenths suggest a couple of difficult days — but sandwiched around them are two wins and a runner-up finish, which is the profile of a horse that bounces back. Crucially, Campani raced just one day ago, meaning this is a horse very much in active training and in the thick of its season. Whether that latest run adds to the tally or sets up something to come, Simcock's operation has the firepower right now to find the right moment.
