Vingegaard
The gap between his two victories tells the story: he broke through at Chepstow in May 2024, then didn't win again until Thirsk in June 2026, a gap of over a year. That second win came four months ago, and his recent form suggests he has cooled considerably. Over his last six races, he has finished outside the top three four times, with his only success in that run coming when he won — and his most recent outing, just a day ago, resulted in an 11th place.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
When paired with jockey Hollie Doyle, Vingegaard has won once from five rides together, a 20 per cent win rate that is respectable but hardly a partnership clicking perfectly. Trainer Paul Midgley, based in Westow, North Yorkshire, oversees a yard in good form this season with 39 winners to date, but Vingegaard remains a tricky customer at the highest level. In Class 1 races — the top tier of British racing — he has failed to win from four attempts. That suggests he is a horse who finds his level in races below the elite, and stepping up to face the best regularly exposes his limitations. With only two wins across 17 races, Vingegaard remains a long-shot proposition, though his presence in the yard of a successful trainer at least keeps the door open for improvement.
