Rotelle

That April victory at Nottingham remains Rotelle's only success, coming five months ago now. Since then, the horse has had four more outings with two places to show for it, which hints at genuine ability but also inconsistency — the kind of pattern you often see in young horses still maturing and working out where they belong in the pecking order. Trained by C Fellowes at Newmarket, Rotelle is part of a yard that has already sent out 21 winners this season, so there is clearly experienced horsemanship behind the project. Whether the horse develops into a regular winner or settles as a occasional scorer will become clearer over the next few months of racing.
