Likewhatyousee

The recent run of form is genuinely impressive. Reading the last six results from most recent backwards — win, second, win, second, fifth, sixth — you can see a horse that has transformed. After a couple of disappointing efforts, it has reeled off an alternating pattern of wins and seconds that any trainer would love. Two wins from its last six races, and it raced just yesterday, meaning it is in the middle of a purple patch right now.

Those two career wins have come at very different venues, which is worth noting. The first arrived at The Curragh in October 2025 — one of the most prestigious tracks in Ireland, a beautiful, sweeping course that sorts out quality horses from ordinary ones. Then this week, a win at Newton Abbot in Devon, a tight, turning track in the English West Country with a very different character. Winning at two courses that ask completely different questions of a horse suggests Likewhatyousee has genuine adaptability rather than being a one-trick pony built for a single type of circuit.

The horse is trained by Jonjo & A J O'Neill, a yard based in Cheltenham that has sent out 51 winners already this season — a strong, busy operation that clearly knows how to keep horses in form and racing regularly. Rory Cleary is the regular partner in the saddle, riding in 5 of the 7 career races together and winning 1 of those — roughly 1 in every 5 rides resulting in a victory, which is a respectable partnership that is clearly still developing.

At 4 years old and with momentum building, the interesting question is where this horse goes next. It has shown it can win on different tracks, it has just raced and won within the last few days, and the yard around it is in excellent form. All the signs point to a horse hitting its stride at exactly the right time.
