Demoiselle Kap

What makes Demoiselle Kap particularly interesting is how she performs over longer trips. At distances beyond two miles, she has won 4 of her 9 races — nearly 1 in every 2. That is a remarkable number and tells you something clear: she stays well, she settles into a rhythm, and she finds more when the race really tests her stamina. Shorten the distance and that edge disappears. Keep her going long and she becomes a genuine threat.

Her first win came at Sedgefield on 5 February 2025, and she followed it up with another there on 11 March 2025. Sedgefield is a tight, undulating track in County Durham — not the most glamorous venue in the sport, but a place Demoiselle Kap has clearly taken to. Both wins at the same course in the space of five weeks suggest she thrives there specifically, not just generally.

The trickier part of the picture is her recent form. Her last 6 runs read 9-2-3-5-3-5 — two places, but no wins, and a couple of disappointing finishes in there too. She has not won since that Sedgefield success over 15 months ago, which is a long drought for a horse who looked to be hitting her stride in early 2025. She raced just yesterday, so the yard are clearly keeping her active and looking for the right opportunity.

Sophie Leech trains her from Elton in Gloucestershire — a yard that has sent out 4 winners this season, so it is ticking along productively. The big question now is whether Demoiselle Kap can recapture that early-2025 form. Point her at a long trip, on the right track, and the ingredients are still there.
