Cosmic

The encouraging part is that the ability appears to be there. Hannon isn't a trainer who talks up horses for the sake of it — his yard has sent out 115 winners already this season, which is the kind of number that only comes from a operation that knows what it's doing and when a horse is ready. When she says the Lingfield run will bring her on massively, that carries some weight. A horse showing genuine pace at home but dropping out on the track usually has a straightforward explanation: fitness. The next run is likely to tell a very different story.

She raced just a day ago, so whatever comes next is still some way off, but Cosmic is one to keep an eye on once Hannon decides she's had enough time to benefit from that first proper blow-out. Zero from two is the record right now, but it barely tells you anything about where this horse might end up.
