Raulin

The real story with Raulin is distance and location. Over 1 mile 3 furlongs to 1 mile 4 furlongs, he's a different horse entirely, winning 3 of his 7 attempts at that trip—a 43% win rate that's genuinely impressive. He's also become something of a specialist at Pontefract, where he's won 2 of his 4 races there, suggesting the track suits his running style. In Class 4 races, he's won 2 from 6, which shows he belongs in that grade and can handle the competition. His early career breakthrough came at Redcar in May 2025, and he's been competitive ever since.

Recent form has been mixed. Over his last six races, he's had just one win and two placed efforts, with a couple of disappointing efforts mixed in—the kind of inconsistency that comes with racing at this level. David Nolan has been his regular partner, though the jockey's 14% win rate aboard him (1 from 7) suggests there might be room for experiment if another rider can get a tune out of him. Gary and Josh Moore's yard at Lower Beeding has been in flying form this season with 99 winners, so Raulin has every chance to get back to the winners' enclosure soon—especially if he's pitched into a race at the right distance and venue.
