Mio Amico

The horse's last victory came at Chelmsford on 7 March 2026, now five months in the past. Since then, his form has been frustratingly inconsistent: a third-place finish, a second, a fifth, another fifth, a sixth, and most recently a fifth just a day ago. There is nothing here to suggest a horse on the rise. What stands out instead is his connection with jockey Kyle McHugh. In eight races together, they have won twice—a 25% win rate that significantly outperforms Mio Amico's overall 14% win rate. When McHugh is in the saddle, this horse runs better, and that partnership is worth noting.

Michael Keady's Newmarket yard has had a productive season with 16 winners, and Mio Amico appears to show his best form over extended distances: at races of 1m6f to 2m, he has won 2 of 9 (22%), suggesting he is a horse that gets into his stride over ground rather than as a sprinter. He remains active and in training, but five months without a win and inconsistent recent form mean he is now a horse looking to rediscover the level at which he was competitive. If the yard can find him a Class 6 race at the right distance with McHugh booked, there may be another opportunity; otherwise, he is drifting toward the margins.
