Gorgeous Mr George

The four-year-old is trained by Dylan Cunha at Newmarket, a yard that has been in fine form this season with 45 winners already on the board. Cunha clearly knows what he has in Gorgeous Mr George, because the horse has been kept busy — 19 races in total, with 3 wins and 10 further placed efforts. That means he has finished in the first three in more than half his races, which is the kind of consistency that makes him useful rather than spectacular. He is the horse you want in the yard when you need a reliable performer rather than a one-off headline.

His most trusted partner in the saddle is Kyle Strydom, and the numbers there are striking: 3 wins from 8 races together, meaning they click at a rate of roughly 1 in every 2.5 races — well above the horse's overall win rate of roughly 1 in 6 across all his appearances. When Strydom is booked, it tends to mean the team fancies their chances.

Gorgeous Mr George is also a horse who appreciates fast, dry ground, winning 2 of his 5 races in those conditions — a 40% win rate that is hard to ignore when entries come around. Add in that he finds his best form over seven furlongs to a mile, where he has won 2 from 6, and you start to build a picture of a horse with clear preferences. He is not the type to win anywhere in any conditions — but put him at Great Yarmouth, on dry ground, over a mile, with Strydom aboard, and you would be foolish not to pay attention. His last win came there on 24 August 2025, and with recent form showing back-to-back second-place finishes, another visit to his favourite track could be well timed.
