Fiddlers Green

The overall record reads 3 wins and 11 places from 33 races, a win rate of around 1 in 11. That tells the story of a horse that competes at Class 6 — the entry level of British racing — and finds even that a tough ask most days, winning just 1 of its 17 races at that level. But Fiddlers Green is not a horse without moments. It opened its account at Bath in April 2024, and most recently won at Kempton Park in July 2025, suggesting it handles a variety of tracks. The yard has been in decent form this season, sending out 9 winners, so the horse is operating in a functioning, competitive environment.

What stands out is the partnership with jockey Gina Mangan. In six races together, they have won twice — a win rate of 1 in 3, which is a genuinely strong return and comfortably the best numbers this horse has produced with any rider. That combination clearly brings something out of it.

Recent form shows a horse very much in the conversation without quite getting its nose in front: 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 8th, 5th, and 3rd in its last six outings. It hasn't won in those six races, but four finishes of third or better suggest it is running consistently and competing rather than just making up the numbers. It raced just one day ago, so it is very much mid-campaign. Whether it can convert one of those placed efforts into a win is the question — but the honest answer is that this horse has always needed things to fall just right to get to the front, and when they do, it knows what to do.
