Ludo's Landing

Ludo's Landing is a 6-year-old who has won 7 races from 52 outings — a solid if unspectacular record that places him firmly in the lower reaches of competitive racing. What makes him interesting is not his overall statistics but where and how he runs best. Over distances between seven furlongs and a mile, he transforms into a genuinely capable performer, winning 2 of his last 5 races at that trip, a 40 per cent win rate that stands out against his 13 per cent career average. At Beverley, he is positively exceptional: he has won 2 of his 3 races there, suggesting he either loves the track's characteristics or has simply been fortunate, though that kind of record is hard to dismiss as pure chance.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His current form is harder to defend. Ludo's Landing has not won in his last six races, though he has picked up places in four of them — he finished third and fourth twice, and fifth once, with only an eleventh-place effort last time out truly disappointing. His last victory came at Newcastle on 6 March 2026, five months ago now, which represents a genuine dry spell for a horse his age and ability. That said, races at Class 4 level — where he has typically competed — have yielded 4 wins from 28 attempts (14 per cent), suggesting he remains competitive at his usual grade, just not winning at the moment.

Trainer Charlie Johnston, based at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, has sent out 131 winners this season and regularly uses jockey Joe Fanning to ride Ludo's Landing. Fanning has partnered the horse 18 times for 2 victories, a partnership that mirrors the horse's overall record closely. With racing so recent, Ludo's Landing remains an active runner who will race again soon — and given his proven preference for seven furlongs to a mile at Class 4 level, any race fitting that description at Beverley would be worth watching.
