King's Code

What makes King's Code particularly interesting is where those wins have come from. Three Class 2 wins — some of the better races in Britain — tell you this horse competes at a serious level and can deliver when it matters. The most recent of those came at Newcastle in January 2026, and before that at Kempton in November 2025 and Pontefract in April 2025. Three big-race wins in the space of nine months is not a coincidence; it suggests a horse that has found its peak form and is making the most of it.

Kempton Park is where King's Code looks genuinely at home. Three wins from just 7 races there — that's nearly 1 in every 2 visits resulting in a win — is the kind of record that makes you sit up. Racecourses suit individual horses for all sorts of reasons: the shape of the track, the surface, how sharp the bends are. Whatever it is about Kempton, King's Code appears to thrive on it. Combine that with a love of wet, soft ground — winning 3 from 7 races on it, or 43% — and you start to understand exactly the conditions that bring out the best in this horse.

Trainer David Evans, based in Pandy in Monmouthshire, has been sending out winners at a strong pace this season — 37 so far — so King's Code is part of a yard clearly firing on all cylinders. Jordan Williams is the rider who knows this horse best, having partnered it to 2 wins from 7 races together, a win rate of roughly 1 in 3.5, which is a meaningful connection in a sport where the partnership between horse and jockey can make a real difference.

With the recent form showing a win and several placed efforts, and a race just yesterday, King's Code is very much still in action. This is a horse that has taken time to reach its best — the first career win came back in June 2023 at Bath — but is clearly hitting its stride now at the right moment.
