Havana Prince

The five-year-old is trained by the partnership of Tony Coyle and Kaine Wood out of Norton in North Yorkshire, a yard that has already sent out 12 winners this season and clearly knows what it is doing. Havana Prince has been part of that operation since his first career win at Newcastle back in September 2023, and he returned to that same track to record his most recent victory just seven weeks ago in late March 2026 — proof that he is in form right now and competing actively.

His partnership with jockey David Nolan is worth noting. The two have raced together 13 times, producing 4 wins — that is a win rate of 31%, or nearly 1 in every 3 rides. In a sport where finding the right jockey for the right horse makes a genuine difference, that is a meaningful connection. When Nolan is in the saddle, things tend to happen.

The conditions matter too. On normal ground, Havana Prince is a different animal — 5 wins from 12 races, which works out at 42%, or almost winning every other time. Soft or very wet ground tells a different story, and his best performances tend to come when the track is riding fairly standard. He also has a preferred distance range: around a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs, where he has won 3 from 8. And if you want a course to follow him at, Ripon stands out — 2 wins from just 6 visits is the kind of record that suggests he genuinely handles the track well.

His recent form shows a win and a couple of placed efforts scattered among some quieter runs, but with a victory just seven weeks old and a yard in good health, Havana Prince is not a horse to write off lightly.
