Aurelune

The recent form reads 3-7-6-3-5, which paints a picture of inconsistency. Those two third-place finishes show the ability is there on its day, but the runs of seventh and sixth suggest Aurelune hasn't found a level it can dominate just yet. At three years old, that's not unusual — young horses are still learning their trade, figuring out what racing asks of them.

Aurelune is trained by Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a yard that knows exactly how to get horses ready to run. With 23 winners already on the board this season, this is clearly a team in form — which means when Aurelune does break through, it will have every chance of being pointed at exactly the right race at the right moment. The Faheys have the experience to know when a horse like this is ready, and patience tends to be rewarded.
