What makes the picture more interesting is who is doing the training. Olly Murphy, based at Wilmcote in Warwickshire, has sent out 146 winners already this season — a remarkable number that puts his yard among the most productive in the country. When a trainer is operating at that kind of volume, horses in the stable tend to be placed in races they can win, and the fact that Moyganny Phil has found the winner's enclosure under Murphy's care is worth noting. A busy, successful yard does not waste energy on horses without potential.
The recent form reads as a fourth, a fourth, then the Carlisle win, followed by a couple of unplaced runs since — and he raced just yesterday, so he is very much in the thick of things right now. The pattern suggests a horse finding his feet at this level, capable of winning on his day, and one to follow while Murphy's yard remains in such sharp form.
