That single win came at Epsom Downs on 15 August 2025, a track with one of the most unusual layouts in British racing — famously undulating, with a steep downhill camber that suits certain horses far better than others. Whether Huggable has a particular affinity for the place remains to be seen, but it is worth noting. Three places from nine races also suggests a horse that competes honestly and finishes in the frame regularly, even when the win is not coming.
The recent form reads 6-12-2-2-1-13, which is the kind of sequence that keeps the yard interested even when patience is being tested. Back-to-back second-place finishes followed by that win showed genuine momentum — then a stumble to twelfth and, most recently, sixth. Inconsistency is the story here, and at Class 5 level — the lower end of the racing ladder — Huggable has yet to win in five attempts at that grade. Winning just 0 from 5 at your most common level of competition is a puzzle worth watching.
The yard behind the horse is in good shape. Dylan Cunha, training out of Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing — has sent out 45 winners this season, which speaks to a busy and well-managed operation. A horse like Huggable, active as recently as yesterday, is clearly being kept fit and freshly campaigned. The question is whether a change of track, conditions, or class can unlock something more consistent from a horse that has shown it knows how to win, even if it does not do it often.
