Mo Of Cairo

The one win came at Beverley on 5th July 2025, and it remains the defining moment of the career so far. Beverley is a quirky, undulating track in East Yorkshire that suits certain horses far better than others, and Mo Of Cairo clearly took to it. Whether that affinity with the track becomes a theme is one of the more interesting questions hanging over the next few months.

The recent form reads 6-6-2-1-3-2 — that is, the last six finishes from most recent backwards. Strip away the two sixth-place runs at the top of that list and what you actually see is a horse that has been placed in four of the six races: second, first, third, second. That is a horse that keeps showing up. The pair of sixths are a slight concern, but form can dip and recover, and the underlying pattern here is one of a horse that competes.

Kevin Ryan trains Mo Of Cairo from his yard at Hambleton in North Yorkshire, and right now the operation is flying. Forty-five winners already this season is a serious number — it signals a team in strong form with horses running well, and being part of a yard in that kind of rhythm is never a bad thing. Ryan has a long track record of placing horses shrewdly, and Mo Of Cairo looks exactly the kind of consistent, place-finding horse that a smart yard can find races for.

Raced just one day ago, Mo Of Cairo is as current as it gets. With a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 races, this isn't a horse dominating its rivals — but at three years old, with a winning performance already on the board and a trainer firing on all cylinders, there is plenty of time for the story to develop. The next outing will tell us whether those two recent sixths were a blip or something worth worrying about.
