Square Necker

The four-year-old's recent form reads 3-1-2-1 from oldest to newest, which tells a tidy story: a podium finish early on, a win at Dundalk in December 2025, a placed run keeping things ticking over, and then a win at Hamilton Park just this week. That's a horse in form right now, not coasting on past results. Racing just one day ago and already being profiled is about as active as it gets.

The trainer behind this is Kevin Philippart De Foy, operating out of Newmarket in Suffolk — one of the historic homes of British racing, where the standard is consistently high and average won't cut it. His yard has sent out 40 winners already this season, which marks it out as a serious, productive operation rather than a small stable getting lucky. When a trainer of that output backs a horse, it tends to mean something. Square Necker's record suggests the confidence is well placed.

With only four races to go on, there's still plenty to learn about where the ceiling might be — but two wins from four runs is the kind of early profile that gets people paying attention. The next race will be worth watching.
