Squadron

Squadron is a two-year-old with just one race under its belt, finishing second last time out. That single placing tells us very little on its own, but the context around it matters: Squadron is trained by Ralph Beckett, whose yard in Kimpton, Hampshire has sent out 107 winners already this season. That is a serious training operation, and horses that come out of it tend to be well-prepared and well-chosen for their races. A second place on debut is a perfectly respectable start — it suggests the horse is competitive without quite having found top gear yet.Based on TrackLab's analysis
