What's The Plan
What's The Plan remains a work in progress for the
James Fanshawe yard in Newmarket. The three-year-old has contested ten races to date, winning once and placing six times — a modest return that speaks to a horse still finding its level. That sole victory came at Lingfield Park back in September, over a distance of seven furlongs to a mile, and it remains the high point of the horse's career. Since then, eleven months have passed without another win, though recent form shows some consistency: four places in the last six runs, including a second place and two fourths, suggest the horse is competitive enough to feature in the places regularly.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The good news for the yard is that What's The Plan shows clear preference for races over seven furlongs to a mile, winning one of four attempts at that distance — a 25 percent win rate over the trip. This gives the trainer a defined target for future races. Fanshawe's yard is in fine form this season with 44 winners already on the board, so there is expertise in place to get the most from the horse. What's The Plan was active as recently as yesterday, meaning the yard are confident enough to keep running the horse regularly. For a young horse on a career earnings of modest proportions and a recent win drought, the challenge now is whether that form at Lingfield can be rediscovered, or whether a change of approach — either in trip, track, or race type — might unlock improvement.
