Up The Agenda

Trained by Jack Morland out of Newmarket — the heartland of British racing in Suffolk — Up The Agenda got off the mark at Great Yarmouth in September 2025 and hasn't looked back. Morland's yard has sent out 16 winners already this season, so this is a stable in form, and Up The Agenda looks like one of its better tools. The horse tends to run at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing rather than the glamour end, but the numbers there are genuinely striking: four wins from six races at that level, a win rate of 67%, or two out of every three attempts. That isn't a horse finding its way — that's a horse that knows exactly what it's doing.

The ground matters too. On normal conditions — a standard surface, neither waterlogged nor baked hard — Up The Agenda has won two of its three races, which suggests the yard have done a good job of placing it sensibly. The most recent win came at Kempton Park in January 2026, and the horse raced just yesterday, so it is very much in the thick of things right now.

The recent form reading of 7-1-3-1-1-11 (with the most recent result on the left) tells a slightly complex story. Three wins in the last six is brilliant. But that seventh-place finish last time out breaks a run of three straight wins and is worth watching — it could be a blip, or it could be the first sign that rivals are starting to work out how to beat it. At three years old, there is still plenty of development to come, and if Jack Morland decides to step Up The Agenda into better company, the next few months will tell us a great deal about just how good this horse can be.
