His first win came at Wolverhampton in March 2024, and he has steadily added to his tally since. What stands out right now is his current form: wins in two of his last six races, with three runner-up finishes in that same stretch. That is the profile of a horse who is competing hard and consistently at the top end of his level, rather than flukily landing the odd race. Most strikingly, he raced just one day ago and won at Aintree — one of the most famous racing venues in the world — which puts an exclamation mark on what has been a strong recent run.
On normal ground, Road To Wembley is particularly dangerous. He has won 2 of just 4 races in those conditions, a 50% win rate that is remarkable for any horse — it suggests that when everything clicks, he is very hard to beat. Olly Murphy has also indicated he believes the horse has more to give over longer distances, around two miles, hinting that his best days may still be ahead of him.
In the saddle, Finley Marsh has been the regular partner, riding him in 18 of his 27 races and winning 4 of them together — that is a 22% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 4.5 rides, which reflects a genuine, productive partnership rather than a casual arrangement. When a jockey keeps coming back to the same horse this consistently, it usually means both horse and rider have developed a real understanding of each other.
Currently competing mostly at Class 4 level — solid, competitive mid-tier racing — Road To Wembley has been winning at that grade and has a trainer who clearly thinks there is another gear to find. A horse who raced yesterday and won, is in form, and has a trainer planning to step him up in distance, is one worth paying attention to.
