Cayman Tai

Look at the last six races: second, first, second, third, fifth, second. That is a horse absolutely buzzing with form, consistently finishing right at the sharp end. The win came at Southwell just last week on 21 May 2026, and Cayman Tai was back out racing again just one day later — a sign that the team at Richard Hannon's yard in Wiltshire believe they have a horse worth keeping busy while the confidence is high. Hannon is one of the most prolific trainers in Britain right now, with 118 winners already sent out this season alone, so Cayman Tai is operating within one of the sharpest operations in the country.

The interesting wrinkle in this profile is the class puzzle. Cayman Tai has run nine times at Class 4 — the middle tier of British racing — and has not won once at that level. Yet step up in company or drop to a different track, and the horse finds a way. The first career win came at Ffos Las in Wales back in June 2024. The second came at Southwell last week. Both victories arrived away from the Class 4 grind that dominates most of the career record, which suggests this is a horse who perhaps needs something slightly different — a specific track, a specific surface, a change of scene — to unlock its best.

Regular jockey Joe Leavy has partnered Cayman Tai in 11 of those 26 races, winning once together. That is a working partnership rather than a golden one, but the fact that Leavy keeps getting the ride suggests the team see something they like. With a second place just two days ago and a win only last week, Cayman Tai is as live a racing proposition as you will find right now — a horse deep in form, trained by a yard firing on all cylinders, and with every reason to go one better next time out.
