His recent form shows the kind of pattern you see in horses who are genuine raceday performers but not world-beaters. In his last six outings, he finished third, first, out of the placings twice, seventh, seventh, and ninth — inconsistent enough to suggest he doesn't always show up, but with a win last week at Hamilton Park on 11 August 2026 that proves he can still find the winner's enclosure. That win came just days after racing, showing he bounces back quickly between starts. His breakthrough victory came nearly a year earlier, at Newcastle on 1 August 2025, suggesting he took time to find his groove.
Tanjen is trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, a yard in excellent form this season with 128 winners already sent out. He has been ridden most often by David Allan, though that partnership has yielded just 1 win from 7 races together, a 14% win rate, so clearly other jockeys have had more luck in the saddle. Still, for a horse without elite-level ability, Tanjen represents exactly what racing is built on: a genuine competitor who will fight for his races, wins when conditions suit him, and keeps the yard coming back for more. He's active right now and still looking to add to his tally.
