Taranis Dubh
Five years old and still searching for that first win, Taranis Dubh has run twice so far and has something to show for both efforts — a third place and a second place — without yet managing to get its nose in front. That runner-up finish is the closest it has come, and with only two races under its belt, this is still a horse finding its feet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What gives the profile some real interest is who is doing the training. Olly Murphy, based at Wilmcote in Warwickshire, is one of the more prolific yards in Britain right now — 146 winners this season is a serious number, the kind of output that marks out a trainer operating at real scale and consistency. When a horse comes out of a yard firing at that rate, it tends to be well-prepared, even if the results haven't clicked yet. Murphy's team clearly know what they're doing, and a horse with two placed efforts from two runs is at least showing up and competing.
Taranis Dubh raced just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in the thick of its campaign right now. Zero wins from two races sounds modest, but placed in both — that's a horse that hasn't disgraced itself. The question is simply whether it can find a bit more when it matters.
