Bollin Marsha

That said, context matters here. She ran just yesterday, which means she is in the middle of a busy, active campaign, and plenty of good horses have taken time to find their feet at this age. The encouraging thing is where she is trained. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton in North Yorkshire has been in seriously impressive form this season, sending out 128 winners — a number that puts it firmly among the busiest and most effective operations in the country. Horses in good yards tend to improve quickly, and Easterby clearly knows how to place young horses to give them their best chance. Bollin Marsha has yet to reward that support, but she is in the right hands to figure things out.
