Musical Act
There is a frustrating gap at the heart of Musical Act's story. This five-year-old has shown enough ability to win twice in its 13 races — a decent enough return of roughly 1 in every 6 or 7 races — but those wins are now a long time in the past. Both came at Kempton Park, first in August 2023 and then again in November of that same year, and nothing has gone right since. It has been 32 months without a win, and the last six races have produced nothing better than a fourth place, with two non-completions thrown in for good measure.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The current form figures — seventh, sixth, fourth, seventh in those completed runs — paint a picture of a horse that is competing without ever quite threatening. That said, Musical Act is only five years old, which means there is still time for things to click, and the horse does at least hold a soft spot for Kempton, having won there twice. Sometimes a return to a familiar venue at the right moment is all it takes.
Ciaran Murphy's yard in Mullingar has been in decent nick this season, sending out 18 winners, so the training operation is clearly in good form even if Musical Act hasn't been the one delivering the results. Whether this horse can rediscover whatever it showed in that Kempton double back in 2023 remains the open question. For now, it is a horse that reminds you how quickly the sport can test your patience.
