Enpassant

The most striking number in Enpassant's record is at Leicester. Two wins from just three visits there amounts to winning roughly 2 in every 3 races at that track, which is the kind of figure that would make any racing fan sit up. Most horses with 48 races behind them have found one or two tracks they dislike; Enpassant appears to have found one it loves. That first career win came at Leicester in June 2024, and the track has clearly remained a happy hunting ground since.

The bulk of Enpassant's racing life has been spent at Class 5, which is the everyday working level of British racing — competitive enough, but not the glamour end. Winning 3 of 29 races at that level, roughly 1 in every 10, is a modest return overall, but the recent form tells a sharper story. Two wins in the last six races, including one just days ago, suggests the horse has found something. Whether that is a change in routine, the right conditions, or simply a horse coming into its best, the Herrington yard — which has sent out 33 winners already this season — clearly knows where and when to place this one.

Jack Mitchell rides Enpassant most often, though the pair have won just 1 from 7 together, or around 1 in 7. That is a slightly lower return than the horse's overall win rate, which hints that Enpassant might actually be slightly better in other hands — though with a win last week, Mitchell will not be losing much sleep over the statistic. What matters now is that a horse raced just yesterday, sharp enough to win this week, and trained by a yard in the middle of a strong season, is a horse worth paying attention to.
