Gloriola

The recent form makes for interesting reading. After a difficult spell — finishing 14th and 11th in back-to-back races — she has shown real signs of improvement, posting a runner-up finish and then a third place in her last two completed runs before her most recent fifth. That kind of bounce-back suggests she is not a lost cause, and her the yard will take encouragement from the fact that she raced just one day ago, meaning she is fit and in active campaign mode.

She is trained by Steph Hollinshead, operating out of Upper Longdon in Staffordshire. The yard has sent out 7 winners already this season, which shows there is clearly ability in the team to get horses to the winner's enclosure. The question for Gloriola is simply whether her turn comes next.
