Harry The Rogue

His best racing distance sits between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, where he has won both of his career races from 17 attempts at those trips — winning 2 from 17, or about 1 in every 8 at the trips that suit him. That context matters. Put him on the wrong course at the wrong distance and he's just making up the numbers. Get it right and he has shown he can get his nose in front.

His most trusted partner in the saddle is Sam Coen, who has ridden Harry The Rogue 12 times and won on him twice — a win rate of 17%, or roughly 1 in every 6 rides together. That's a notably better return than the horse's overall record suggests he's capable of, which points to a real working relationship between horse and rider. When Stephen Hanlon's yard saddles Harry The Rogue with Coen aboard, they clearly know what they're doing — the yard has already sent out four winners this season, so they are not short of confidence.

The recent form looks encouraging on paper: his last six runs read 9-4-2-3-6-2, meaning he has finished second twice and third once in that stretch. He raced just one day ago, so he is fit and active. His last win came at Killarney on 13 May 2025, and his first win arrived at Naas on 28 April 2025 — two wins in quick succession earlier this year, both gone twelve months back now without another to add. The story of Harry The Rogue is of a horse that is rarely embarrassed and almost never uncompetitive, but still searching for the moment everything clicks again.
