Fanjove

The two victories came at Newcastle in late September 2025 and then at Wolverhampton in October, both on normal ground and both over distances between seven furlongs and a mile. That distance range — 7f to a mile — is where Fanjove really clicks. He's won 2 of his 5 races at those trips, a 40% win rate, which is an impressive hit rate for any horse at any level. On normal ground specifically, that same pattern holds: 2 wins from 6 attempts, or 1 in every 3 races. The message is clear — get the conditions right and he's a genuine threat.

His recent form reads 6-4-2-1-3-1 (most recent first), meaning he's won twice in his last six races and been placed four other times. In other words, he's finished in the top three on five of his last six outings. For a horse racing mostly at Class 6 — the entry-level tier of British racing — that kind of consistency is exactly what you'd want to see. Two wins from 5 races at that level (40%) shows he belongs there and then some.

Ed Dunlop's yard has sent out 36 winners already this season, so this is a stable in good nick, and Dunlop knows what he has here. He's spoken about Fanjove being the kind of horse who could be out quickly and racing over six furlongs — short, sharp, and soon. Intriguingly, the horse's sire won the Coventry Stakes as a 150-1 shot on just his second career start, which hints at the kind of bloodline that can surprise people. Fanjove raced just yesterday, so he's very much in the thick of things right now — a horse to keep an eye on while the ground stays reasonable.
