Amorim

Trainer George Boughey, who runs a powerful Newmarket operation that has already sent out 99 winners this season, sees potential worth pursuing. Boughey believes he made tactical mistakes with the horse's campaign last year and expects him to improve significantly over longer distances. The trainer also notes that Amorim has been gelded recently—a change that has made him more straightforward to work with—and reckons he has never quite shown his true ability, even at home where he regularly impresses. With Billy Loughnane as his most frequent jockey (winning 1 of 6 races together, a 17% win rate), there is a working partnership in place that clearly suits him. At three years old and apparently still unexposed on the flat, Amorim has time to prove Boughey's optimism justified, but the clock is ticking and he will need to break his current drought soon.
