Cavalry Call

Both wins have come at different points of the season, which at least shows some versatility. The first arrived at Great Yarmouth in September 2024, and the second came at Chelmsford in April 2025 — though that Chelmsford win is now 13 months ago, and the last six races have produced nothing better than a seventh place. The dash in that recent sequence indicates a non-completion at some point, and the string of seventies, eighths, and nines since then paints a picture of a horse going through a difficult spell.

Patrick Morris trains Cavalry Call from a yard based in Prescott, Merseyside, and it has been a productive season for the team — 22 winners sent out, which is a healthy return. The question is whether Cavalry Call can add to that tally. Harry Davies has ridden the horse more than anyone else, partnering it in 7 races for that single win together — a 14% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 7 rides. That is actually well above Cavalry Call's overall record, which hints that the pairing may be the right one when the horse does find form again.

The bulk of Cavalry Call's racing has come in Class 4 company — a mid-tier level — where the record reads 1 win from 14 races. That single win from 14 attempts at that level underlines the challenge: this is a horse operating in competitive fields without quite having the firepower to dominate them. With a career earnings figure that reflects the same story, Cavalry Call is best understood as a horse that honest racegoers quietly respect — always present, occasionally threatening, and still racing as recently as yesterday.
