Mr Fustic

What makes Mr Fustic genuinely interesting is where and how he wins. His first career win came at Wolverhampton in April 2022, and that track has never lost its appeal — he has won 2 races from just 5 attempts there, which is a 40% win rate and suggests he has a real affinity for the place. Add in a soft ground record of 2 wins from 7 races (29%) and a picture emerges of a horse who actually improves when the conditions get difficult. Most horses at this level prefer dry, fast ground. Mr Fustic quietly goes the other way.

The partnership with jockey Dylan Hogan is worth noting too. Together they have won 6 of their 22 races — that is more than 1 in every 4 — and every single one of Mr Fustic's career wins has come with Hogan in the saddle. That kind of consistency between horse and rider is not accidental. There is clearly an understanding there, a rhythm that works.

Trainer Andi Brown, based in Newmarket, has had 2 winners from the yard this season, and Mr Fustic accounts for some of that tally — his most recent win came at Southwell just two months ago in March 2026. With recent form reading a win, two placed efforts, and a third in his last five completed races, he arrives in his current campaign in decent nick. He raced just yesterday, so the team are clearly keeping him busy and in form. For a horse of his age and level, that combination of course knowledge, ground preference, and a trusted jockey partnership makes him one to follow whenever the conditions are in his favour.
