Telegraphic
Telegraphic is a two-year-old with a win to his name and a yard that knows exactly what it's doing. Trained by
Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, he broke through at Brighton back in July — a debut winner, which immediately marked him out as a horse with some talent. Since then, though, he's had a rougher ride. His record stands at one win and two places from five races, which means he's won roughly one in every five outings. His last three runs have been tough: a seventh, then a seventeenth, then a second-place finish, before he managed a win and a fourth earlier in his recent form. He raced just yesterday, so the yard are keeping him active and looking for the next opportunity.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What's worth noting is the calibre of the yard behind him. Johnston's operation at Middleham Moor has sent out 131 winners already this season alone — that's a serious training stable with a track record of getting the best out of their horses. For a young two-year-old, being in that environment means there's real expertise working to develop his talent. The win at Brighton three months ago is the foundation, and while the form since has been inconsistent, at this age that's not unusual. Telegraphic is still learning his trade, and with a top-class yard steering the ship, there's every reason to think the next win won't be far away.
