P. Merven
Trainer: M. Patrick Merven
As trainer for the ex-Wahed Essa stable, Patrick Merven met with plenty of success. He would eventually open his own stable, and it was in the previous decade that things went very well for him.
From 2012 to 2015, he was a regular presence in the top 4 in the Trainers' standings, finishing runner-up in 2013 and 2014. He has also trained one champion horse - Liquid Motion (2013), while he also trained Beat The Retreat to the 2017 Sprinters' championship.
He will look to do much better in 2020 after a tricky 2019 campaign.
