Conquest Of Power

Trained by Mark Usher out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, Conquest Of Power operates mainly at Class 6 level — the entry-level tier of British racing. At that level it has won 4 of its 21 races, which works out to roughly 1 in every 5, a perfectly respectable record. The yard has been in good form this season with 14 winners already sent out, so the infrastructure is there if Conquest Of Power can rediscover its best. The jockey partnership to note is with Tyler Heard, who has ridden the horse nine times and won on three of those occasions — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in 3. That's genuinely strong, and when Heard is booked, it's worth paying attention.

The standout detail in this horse's record is Lingfield Park. In three visits there, Conquest Of Power has won twice — that's a 2-from-3 record at a single track, which is remarkable when you consider most horses race at dozens of venues without ever finding a real home. Some horses simply suit a particular track's configuration, its bends, its surface, and Lingfield clearly suits this one. When it returns there, take notice.

The current form line reads 4-8-3-9-6-13, which paints a mixed but not desperate picture. There's a third-place finish in there and a fourth, so it hasn't fallen apart — but it hasn't won since Newcastle back in February 2025, now over 15 months ago. That's the gap that needs closing. It raced just one day ago, so it is very much active and in training, and the first win came at Sandown Park in June 2022 — suggesting this is a horse that has always taken its time to show its best.

Six wins from 47 races at an overall win rate of 13%, roughly 1 in every 8, is honest rather than spectacular. But a course record like Lingfield gives it something to aim at, and with the right jockey on the right day, Conquest Of Power looks like exactly the kind of horse that could spring a surprise.
