Eartha

Her recent form tells a familiar story of a horse treading water. In her last six runs, she has finished eighth, fifth, ninth, tenth, eighth, and nineteenth—a stretch that shows she is capable of finishing mid-field but increasingly struggling to make an impact. Racing at Class 4 level, where the standard sits above the most basic competitions, she has yet to break through and win, managing no victories from three attempts at that grade. With Richard and Peter Fahey's Musley Bank yard in North Yorkshire continuing to run her regularly, Eartha remains active and was out just a day ago, suggesting the trainers still believe there is something to work with. Whether she can recapture the form that brought that single win nearly three years ago remains an open question.
