Havana Club

Bath is his happy place. He has won twice from eight races there, most recently three weeks ago on 15 July 2026. That 25% win rate at Bath is worth noting for a horse who wins only 1 in every 10 races overall. It suggests he either handles the track's characteristics or finds the racing there within his reach, and either way, Bath is a place to watch for him in future. His first career win came at Bath on 14 May 2025, so the track holds real significance in his story.

Ground conditions tell an even clearer story. On very dry, fast ground, Havana Club wins 2 from 5 races — a 40% win rate that stands out starkly against his overall form. When the ground suits him, he is genuinely competitive. Trainer Adrian Wintle, based in Gloucestershire, has struck on those quick-ground opportunities effectively, and will know to target races for this horse when conditions are right rather than hoping he finds form in the mud. The yard itself is in good shape with 30 winners this season.

Recent runs have been mixed. In his last six races, he has finished third, first (at Bath), fourth, sixth, second, and fourth — the kind of form where he is thereabouts without breaking through often. Finley Marsh rides him regularly but has partnered him to just one win from 11 races together (9%), suggesting they have not yet found a perfect rhythm. At Class 6 level, where most of his racing happens, he sits at 2 wins from 19 races (11%). Havana Club is consistent enough to stay racing but selective enough — target that dry ground, pitch him at Bath when possible — that he could surprise more often than his raw numbers suggest.
