The recent form makes for sobering reading — no win in the last six races, and finishes of 4th, 6th, 7th, a non-completion, 10th, and 4th tell the story of a horse hovering at the edges of races rather than threatening them. That said, a fourth place last time out, just one day ago, at least confirms he is still active and still finding his feet in each contest.
In the saddle, Luke McAteer has been the most regular partner, riding Tomarlo in 9 of his 22 races and landing that sole win between them. Their combined win rate of 11% — roughly 1 in every 9 rides together — is actually well above Tomarlo's overall average, which hints that the partnership is the best version of this horse we have seen so far. Behind the scenes, trainer Ollie Sangster operates out of Marlborough in Wiltshire and has sent out 42 winners this season, so the yard clearly knows how to get horses winning. The challenge now is finding the right opportunity for Tomarlo to add a second.
