Jancis

The most recent win came just days ago at Newmarket on 3 May 2026, which tells you everything about where Jancis is right now: in form, in confidence, and clearly thriving. That backs up a recent run of results — 5th, 5th, 4th, 6th, 2nd, 1st — that shows a horse finding its feet and then hitting its stride at exactly the right moment. The 6th-place finish in the middle of that sequence looks like the exception rather than the rule.

Distance is where things get particularly interesting. Over 7 furlongs to a mile — roughly the middle distances on the flat — Jancis has won 2 of just 3 races, a success rate of 67%, or 2 in every 3. That's a remarkable number. It tells you the yard knows exactly where to place this horse, and that when the conditions suit, it's very hard to beat.

Jancis also has a particular fondness for Leopardstown, the prestigious Dublin track, having won 2 of its 4 races there. The first career win came at Leopardstown back in June 2024, and returning to that track has consistently brought out the best. Two wins from four visits to any single course is the kind of record that makes a trainer sit up and take note when the entries open.

That trainer is W McCreery, based at Rathbride in Co Kildare — a yard that has sent out 21 winners already this season, which is the output of a team that knows what it's doing. A horse in Jancis's position, racing just yesterday and clearly in peak condition, is the sort you keep a close eye on whenever it turns up over that 7f to 1m trip. The form says it's going places, and the record says it's been going places for a while.
