Taurus Bay

The 5-year-old broke his duck at Stratford-on-Avon in late October 2025, then struck again at Aintree in December, showing he can win at different tracks and proving his first success was no fluke. Since then, however, the wins have dried up; his last four runs brought one second place, one third, and a 15th, suggesting he may have hit a ceiling or simply run into stronger competition. With his last race just 18 days ago, Taurus Bay remains active and in work.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Ben Pauling's Naunton yard has been prolific this season with 86 winners already, so the trainer clearly knows how to get horses to the winners' enclosure. Taurus Bay's record suggests he belongs somewhere in that mix — he just needs to rediscover the form that carried him to victory at Aintree four months back. At this stage, he looks like a reliable mid-field performer rather than a future star, but consistency like his is worth watching.
