Bami

Tom Dascombe's Upper Lambourn yard has had a productive season with 22 winners, and Bami fits the profile of a horse still learning its trade. The telling detail is that Bami wins more often in Class 5 races — the lower tier of competition — taking 1 of every 3 races at that level. Step up in class and the winning chances drop sharply. Over the last six runs, Bami has won twice, placed twice, and had a couple of disappointing efforts, including a ninth-place finish most recently. That's honest, variable form: good enough to win on its day, but not consistent. The horse raced just yesterday, so it remains very much active and in work. At three years old, there is still time for Bami to develop further or find a particular distance or track where it clicks.
