Alasrae

Across 13 races, Alasrae has won 3 times and finished in the places 7 more times — that means in 10 of its 13 outings, it has been right there at the finish. A win rate of roughly 1 in every 4 races (23%) is solid for any horse, but the recent form is what really stands out. Look at the last six races and you see: win, second, win, a blank, win, second. That is three wins and two seconds from six races, which by any measure is the form of a horse in the form of its life.

The first win came at Wolverhampton in January 2026, which is where plenty of young horses find their feet under the lights on the all-weather surface. Since then, Alasrae has kept on improving, with the most recent victory coming at Lingfield Park just this week — it literally raced yesterday. When a horse wins and then turns back up within days, it tells you the team are confident and the horse is thriving.

Boughey's yard at Newmarket has fired out 105 winners already this season, which is the kind of output that marks a genuinely elite training operation. When a yard is running at that level, they tend to know exactly which horses are ready and which races suit them. Alasrae's record at Class 4 level — 2 wins from 6 races, winning 1 in 3 — suggests this is currently the right stage for this horse, where it is competitive without being outclassed.

The partnership with jockey Billy Loughnane is also worth noting. Together they have won 2 from 5 races, a win rate of 40% — nearly winning every other time they team up. That is a statistic that speaks to genuine chemistry between rider and horse, and it is the kind of combination that punters and racing fans alike tend to follow with interest as the season develops.
