Evanesco

The partnership with jockey David Egan has been particularly fruitful. When they team up, Egan has ridden Evanesco to two wins from five races together, a 40 per cent win rate that suggests real understanding between horse and rider. Charlie Johnston's Middleham Moor yard has been powerhouse this season with 131 winners to its name, so Evanesco is in a stable that knows how to prepare a horse properly.

Recent form tells the real story. Over the last six races, Evanesco has won twice — most recently this week — and was only beaten a few lengths when finishing third and fourth in two other runs. That kind of consistency, where the horse is regularly in the mix, suggests it could win again soon. The first career win came at Salisbury on 12 September 2025, and Evanesco has clearly learned the ropes since then. This is a horse that turns up and produces, and at three years old, it may still have plenty more to give.
