Spaceman

What makes this worth watching is who has him in their corner. Richard Fahey's yard at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire is one of the most productive stables in Britain, having sent out 82 winners already this season alone. That kind of output doesn't happen by accident — it reflects a team that knows how to place horses in the right races and get them ready to perform. When Fahey runs a young horse, it's usually because they believe it's ready.

Spaceman is now returning from a break of around four months, which adds a layer of intrigue. Whether that time off was planned or precautionary, we don't know, but he comes back with the experience of that debut run in his legs and a yard behind him that has every reason to be optimistic.
