Fan Mail

Easterby's yard is one of the most productive in the north of England right now, having sent out 126 winners this season alone, so Fan Mail is operating in a setup that clearly knows how to get horses to perform. The horse's most frequent jockey is Sean Kirrane, who has ridden it in 10 of its 20 races and partnered it to 1 of its 2 wins — a record that mirrors the overall picture pretty faithfully.

What the stats do tell you is where Fan Mail is most comfortable. On normal ground conditions, it has won 2 from 12 races — about 1 in every 6 — which is a noticeably better return than its overall record suggests. It clearly prefers a standard surface under its feet. Drop it into Class 5 company, the level where it spends most of its time, and that win rate improves further: 2 wins from just 7 races at that level, which works out to nearly 1 in 3. For context, Class 5 represents the more accessible end of British racing, and winning 29% of your races there is genuinely solid.

The career so far has two chapters. Fan Mail broke its duck at Newcastle in February 2025, then added a second win at Southwell in October 2025 — though that was now eight months ago, and the last six races have produced nothing better than a runner-up finish. The recent form figures of 2–5–7–7–4 suggest a horse that has been knocking on the door without quite pushing it open, and raced as recently as yesterday, so it's clearly in active training and being kept busy.

Whether Fan Mail can find another win before the season is out probably comes down to conditions falling right — normal ground, the right class level — and those two ingredients aligning on the same afternoon.
