Migdam

His most recent victory came at Tramore in August 2025, and given that he raced just yesterday, he is very much a horse in the thick of things rather than one winding down. That win at Tramore was not a one-off flash — Migdam has shown a genuine preference for normal ground conditions, winning 2 of his 8 races on a standard surface, which works out at 25%, or 1 in every 4. That is a sharp return and suggests that when conditions suit him, he is a different proposition entirely. His first career win came back in September 2021 at Kempton Park, so he has been around long enough to know the ropes.

What also stands out is his record over long distances — two miles or more — where he has again won 1 from 4, that same eye-catching 25% return. Longer trips seem to bring out the best in him, which makes sense for a horse who perhaps takes time to warm to his task. His jockey Adam Caffrey has partnered him seven times for one win, a working relationship that clearly has some mileage left in it. Trainer Edward Buckley, based in Ratoath in County Meath, has had five winners out of the yard this season, suggesting a stable in decent form. With Migdam racing just yesterday, the team clearly have plans for him — and on his day, on a good surface over a long trip, he is well worth keeping an eye on.
