Squeezebox

There are horses that take a while to find their feet, and then there are horses that, once they do, become genuinely hard to stop. Squeezebox, a 7-year-old trained by Tom Lacey at his yard in Woolhope, Herefordshire, sits firmly in the second camp. With 6 wins and 9 places from 25 races, this is a horse that has earned its keep — finding the winner's enclosure roughly 1 in every 4 times it races, which is a healthy record by any measure.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The recent form is what really catches the eye. Three wins from the last six races is outstanding, and the sequence of results — a win just this week at Southwell, followed by another win before that, with only a couple of quieter efforts in between — suggests a horse in the form of its life. That Southwell victory came on 2 June 2026, meaning Squeezebox is as live and relevant as it gets right now.

Tom Lacey's yard has sent out 37 winners already this season, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to prepare a horse to peak at the right moment. Jockey Frederick Larson has been a big part of Squeezeback's success story — the pair have won 3 of their 8 races together, a win rate of 38%, which is remarkable when you consider that even the very best jockey-horse partnerships rarely sustain numbers like that over multiple outings. When Larson takes the ride, it means something.

Squeezebox also has some clear preferences worth noting. On normal ground conditions, it has won 3 of 7 races — nearly 1 in every 2, which is a significant edge. And over longer trips of two miles or more, the record reads 2 wins from just 3 races. That 67% win rate over distance — two wins in three shots — is the kind of number that makes a trainer want to keep pointing a horse at those longer races. Most of Squeezebox's career has been spent at Class 5 level, the everyday bread-and-butter end of the sport, where it has won 2 from 12. That sounds modest, but the wins at longer distances and on better ground hint at a horse that could be doing even more damage when conditions fall perfectly in its favour. Right now, with form like this, Squeezebox is exactly the sort of horse you want to be keeping an eye on.
