Evelyn

Her recent form makes for mixed reading. A third and a fourth place in her last six runs show she can get involved, but results of 8th and 11th scattered through that sequence suggest she is a horse who performs on her terms rather than to a reliable pattern. She raced just yesterday, so she is very much an active campaigner, and trainer Mrs Julie Cashin — based at Killenaule in County Tipperary — is clearly keeping her busy.

Ryan Treacy has partnered Evelyn six times without a win between them, which mirrors the horse's overall record rather than reflecting badly on either party. Mrs Cashin's yard has sent out one winner this season, so this is a small operation where every placed finish matters. For Evelyn, turning those two career places into an overdue first win is the obvious next chapter — whether that happens is the question her supporters keep showing up to answer.
