Bami

The horse's most recent victory came at Newbury on 23 June — two months ago now — which suggests it is being carefully managed between runs. Trained by Tom Dascombe at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, Bami benefits from a yard that has sent out 22 winners already this season and clearly knows how to bring horses along. Dascombe does not rush his runners, and with Bami still only three years old, there is time for it to develop further. At the top level — Class 5 races — Bami has won once from three attempts, which is respectable at that grade. The form sheet from its last six races reads 2-1-4-1-3-4: a win most recently, then a second and a fourth before that, which shows the horse has been competitive throughout. With one race run in the last day, Bami is currently active and part of a training plan. This is a horse with proven ability at the right distance and enough consistency to suggest it will win again before the season is done.
