Raneem

That win came at Doncaster on 14 June 2026, and the recent form reading of 2-1 tells its own tidy story: a placed run, then a win. That is the kind of upward curve that gets people excited. Doncaster is a proper test of a horse's ability — a long, straight track that tends to find out those who aren't quite good enough — so winning there means something.

Raneem is trained by Roger Varian at Newmarket, one of the most respected yards in British racing. With 87 winners already on the board this season, Varian's team are clearly operating at full throttle, and a horse sitting in that stable with a 50% win rate from two races is likely being looked after with some ambition in mind. Varian has a reputation for bringing horses along patiently and placing them well, so the fact that Raneem has already been pointed at a track and delivered suggests the team know what they have. Having raced as recently as yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of its season.
