Nubough
Nubough is a ten-year-old who has found his level in the lower echelons of professional racing. Over 48 career races, he has won just 4 times and finished in the money on 19 occasions — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 starts. That modest record masks a horse who performs noticeably better under specific conditions: on normal ground, he wins about 1 in every 7 races (4 wins from 29), compared to his overall average. He is also a course specialist at Lingfield Park, where he has won twice in 13 attempts. His most recent victory came at Chelmsford on 8 May 2025, but he has drawn a blank in his last six outings despite finishing placed in three of them.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Mark Pattinson at Epsom, Nubough typically competes in Class 6 races — the lower tiers where prize money is modest but competition is more forgiving. He wins roughly 1 in every 8 Class 6 starts (4 wins from 34). He is ridden most often by Joshua Bryan, though that partnership has yielded just one win from 11 races together, suggesting the jockey's style or the specific race circumstances may not suit him as well as some of his other pilots. At ten years old, Nubough is still racing after nearly a decade in the game. He last raced just a day ago, so the horse remains active and available to his trainer. For a campaigner at this level, longevity matters more than fireworks, and Nubough has proved himself reliable enough to keep turning up.
