I'm Next

The real story is Beverley. At that tight, undulating Yorkshire track, I'm Next has won 2 of its 4 races — half of everything it has entered there. Most horses knock around various courses without ever finding a particular home. This one has found its ground. The most recent win came there just two weeks ago, on 3 July 2026, and the horse raced again only yesterday, so it is right in the middle of a busy, confident spell. Two wins from the last 6 races, with a first and a third also in that stretch, is the form of a horse that is running well right now.

Jockey David Allan has been in the saddle for 9 of those 21 career races, winning 2 of them — roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 rides together. That is a workmanlike partnership rather than a spectacular one, but the consistency matters. I'm Next had its first career win at Nottingham back in October 2024, and has kept on finding the winner's enclosure steadily since then — 6 wins in total across a career that is still very much in progress.

Behind the horse is trainer Tim Easterby, who runs one of the most productive yards in the north from his base at Great Habton in North Yorkshire. His team has sent out 128 winners this season alone — that is not a yard that stumbles into success by accident. I'm Next typically competes at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, and has won 2 of 6 races at that level. For a horse operating in that company, with a trainer firing at that rate and a course it demonstrably loves, there is every reason to think the wins will keep coming.
