Mr Finch
Ben Pauling's Naunton yard has been in fine form this season with 89 winners on the board, and Mr Finch looks like one of the more promising additions to that tally. The six-year-old broke through for his first career win just this week at Warwick on 23 April 2026, and with four races under his belt, the picture is starting to take shape.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Across those four outings, Mr Finch has won once and placed once — a record of 1 from 4, or a 25% win rate, which is a solid return for a horse still finding his feet. His recent sequence reads 4th, a run where he didn't finish, 5th, and then that Warwick victory — so the form has been a little up and down, but he clearly saved his best for last. Winning on your most recent run is exactly the kind of momentum any trainer wants heading into the next chapter, and with Pauling's yard firing on all cylinders, Mr Finch is in exactly the right environment to build on it.
