Bunyola Bay

The most recent five races tell a story of mixed fortunes. After finishing third three weeks ago, Bunyola Bay bounced back with a win, then ran second, and most recently finished eighteenth just over a day ago. It is the kind of form that suggests a horse still finding its feet rather than hitting peak consistency, but the two wins in five starts mean there is genuine ability there. Trained by Richard Hannon at Herridge in Wiltshire, a yard that has sent out 118 winners already this season, Bunyola Bay has access to serious racing infrastructure. Hannon's team spotted something promising early on, with the trainer noting before its debut that the horse was working well and looked like one to follow. For a 3-year-old with real potential, competing at a respectable level and already a multiple race winner, that assessment looks sound.
