Lord Ffrench
There is something quietly stubborn about Lord Ffrench. A six-year-old with ten races under his belt, he has made his supporters wait — but he did eventually deliver, winning at Sligo back in August 2025 for what stands as the one and only victory of his career so far. One win from ten races is a modest return, roughly 1 in every 10 attempts, and the recent form figures of 8-6-7-7 since that day tell you he has found it hard to recapture that level. He raced just yesterday, so whatever happened is still fresh.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That Sligo win is worth holding onto, though. It is the kind of moment that defines a horse's career highlight reel when everything else has been a struggle to get competitive. Two placed finishes from his ten races suggest he is capable of running into the frame, but turning those near-misses into victories has proven elusive.
He is trained by S Curling, based at Cashel in County Tipperary — a yard that has sent out 14 winners already this season, so this is clearly a team that knows how to get a horse ready to win. Whether Lord Ffrench can add to his single career victory remains the question. He is still only six, with time on his side, but the form over the last several months will need to sharpen considerably if he is going to give his trainer another reason to celebrate.
