Annie Express

Her recent form tells a mixed story. She finished fourth, third, and fourth in her last three races, with a third-place finish sandwiched among those results, but she ran last time out only a day ago—so she is clearly being campaigned actively. Her last win came seven months back at Ludlow on 30 March, which means there is a real gap since her last success. The puzzle is that when she steps up to Class 4 company—one level above where she seems to prosper—she has managed nothing from eight attempts. That zero win rate at that level suggests Ludlow is not just a happy hunting ground but perhaps her true level, and that moving up is a step too far. Her trainer sees a chaser in the making, believing she will improve further down the road, which hints at untapped potential. For now, though, Annie Express is a horse to follow when she returns to Ludlow, where everything about her form points to real edge.
