Tyson

Those 2 wins have both come in 2026, and they have come quickly. Tyson broke his duck at Newcastle on 31 March, then backed it up with another win at Huntingdon on 25 May. Two wins from his last 6 races is a sharp improvement on what came before, and his recent form reading of 2-2-1-7-1-5 tells you he is running consistently well — hitting the frame in five of those six outings. That single poor run at seventh looks like the exception rather than the rule right now.

He is trained by Dan Skelton, who operates one of the most productive yards in the country out of Alcester in Warwickshire. With 198 winners already sent out this season, Skelton's team are not short of ammunition, but the fact that Tyson is racing regularly and winning suggests he is in good hands and in good form. A horse trained by an operation running at that volume tends to be well managed — they know when a horse is ready to run, and when to give it a breather. Tyson raced just one day ago, so he is right in the thick of his season.

At six years old, Tyson is in the prime window of his career — old enough to have learned the game, young enough to keep improving. Whether this run of form represents a permanent step up or a purple patch remains to be seen, but right now he is one of the more interesting horses in the Skelton string. Two wins and counting in 2026 is a decent story, and there is no obvious reason to think it ends here.
