Timurshah
Timurshah is on a run that does not come around often. The five-year-old has won five races in a row — its last six outings have brought five victories and a place — and it raced again just yesterday, suggesting
Aidan Melia's yard is keen to keep the momentum going while the horse is hot. With 5 wins from 13 races overall, Timurshah wins roughly 2 in every 5 starts, a win rate that sits well above average and hints at a genuine talent finding its groove at exactly the right moment.

📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse has learned where it runs best. Timurshah thrives over long distances — two miles or further — winning 5 of its 8 races at that trip (62%), and it has shown a strong preference for normal ground conditions, notching 5 wins from 8 races (62%) when the going is standard rather than at the extremes. This kind of specificity is what separates journeymen from horses with real patterns and preferences. Its first win came at Clonmel on 5 June 2026, and since then it has steadily climbed, most recently winning at Navan this week on 2 September.
Aidan Melia's Monasterevin yard in Co Kildare has had a modest season by broader standards — just 2 winners sent out so far — which makes Timurshah's current form all the more striking. A horse firing in this way under a smaller operation, with a clear run of five straight wins and the confidence that comes with it, is exactly the kind of prospect that can keep surprising people over the coming weeks and months.
