I'd Go Maniac

The horse shows genuine class over two miles or further: he has won one of his four races at that distance, a 25% win rate that stands out against his overall form. More tellingly, when competing at Class 5 level — the lower end of the racing pyramid — he has won 2 of 6 races, a 33% win rate that suggests he belongs among similarly graded opponents. His most recent victory came at Windsor on 3 August 2026, just five weeks ago, proof that he remains sharp and competitive at a point in his career when many horses have already been retired.

Tom Cannon, his regular rider, has partnered him in five races and won once together, a 20% return that outpaces his overall record. Trainer Alan King has spoken positively about his racecourse temperament and jumping ability, noting that he won his debut in impressive style and came close to a second success at Ludlow before an unfortunate incident. With his yard in fine form — 57 winners already this season — I'd Go Maniac looks set to remain in work. His recent form has been erratic: a placed effort nine days ago followed by a win-or-bust pattern across his last six outings, but for a seven-year-old stayer at Class 5, he remains a horse with racing left to give.
