Much

Fanshawe's yard has been in good form this season, sending out 44 winners, so Much is at least in a stable where horses are winning races regularly. For a young horse with no wins to its name yet, that kind of environment matters — it means the trainer knows how to get horses ready and understands what it takes. Much's last five outings have ranged from fourth to eighth place, which suggests it is still finding its feet and may benefit from a softer opportunity or a drop in class. At this early stage, with barely half a dozen races under its belt, there is still plenty of time for Much to break through.
