Tattie Bogle

That one win came at Newcastle on 23 November 2024, now 16 months ago, and it arrived over the short, sharp distances that suit this horse best. Between five furlongs and six-and-a-half furlongs, Tattie Bogle has won one from four races — a 25% win rate, which is actually a strong return at that trip compared to the overall record. It points clearly to where the horse is most dangerous: keep it short, and it becomes a different proposition.

The recent run of form tells a familiar story: a second, a fourth, a third, a seventh, a third, and another third in the last six races. No wins, but only one really poor effort in there. At the level this horse typically competes — the bread-and-butter Class 5 races that make up the bulk of the racing calendar — it has won once from six attempts, or roughly 1 in 6. That's decent for the grade, and it shows the horse belongs at this level rather than being outclassed by it.

Behind the scenes, Tattie Bogle is trained by Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, one of the most productive yards in Britain right now. Johnston's team has sent out 127 winners this season alone — that's a yard that knows how to get horses winning, and when one of theirs is knocking on the door as consistently as this horse has been, they'll be looking for the right opportunity to turn those places into a victory. With the horse racing as recently as yesterday, that moment may not be far away.
