Aggagio

Gary Moore's yard at Lower Beeding has sent out 99 winners already this season, and they've brought Aggagio back to hurdles after what sounds like a difficult spell over fences — a fall at Plumpton in April clearly did some damage. The plan now is to nurse him back to confidence, stick with hurdles, and wait for the ground to soften. Moore was notably cautious about Aggagio's future on the Flat, suggesting the handicap mark isn't in the horse's favour there, but he's a specialist at Goodwood nonetheless: four wins from 20 races at the track show real affinity for that course. His most recent victory came in June 2025, though, which means he's been without a win for 16 months. Jockey Caoilin Quinn, who's steered him to three wins from 14 races together, has the measure of him, but that recent drought suggests Aggagio will need everything to fall into place before he breaks through again — soft ground, the right race, and a return of that spark that made him a winner in the first place.
