Our Guy
There is a case to be made that Our Guy has been finding his feet this season, but the evidence suggests he is starting to work things out. The three-year-old has won 1 race from 6 attempts — roughly 1 in every 6 — with a place finish also on his record, and his most recent run produced a ninth, which on the face of it looks underwhelming. But scroll back a little and the picture shifts: that win at Windsor in May 2026 was his first career victory, and it arrived over the sharp, sprint distances where he clearly operates best.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Those shorter trips of five to six and a half furlongs are where Our Guy looks most at home. Over that range he has won 1 from 3 races — a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in every 3 — which is a meaningfully better return than his overall record suggests. That kind of split tells you something useful: this is a horse who needs conditions to suit him, and when they do, he delivers. Windsor, a tight, flat track that suits quick, handy horses, brought out the best in him, and Denis Coakley's yard at West Ilsley will have noted that.
Coakley has sent out 10 winners already this season, so this is a yard in decent form and capable of placing horses to win. Our Guy raced just one day ago, meaning he is firmly in the middle of his campaign right now. Whether that recent ninth represents a blip or something to unpick, only time will tell — but a horse who has won at sprint trips and is trained by a yard firing at the moment is not one to dismiss lightly.
