Jeany May

Her recent form makes for tough reading: 10th, 12th, 8th, 10th in four of her last six runs, though back-to-back fourth-place finishes in her most recent two races hint at at least some improvement. She races most often at Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, where horses are fairly evenly matched — and has won 1 from 9 at that level, a win rate of roughly 11%, which is actually her best strike of any class. That suggests this is the right kind of company for her.

Jockey Alex Jary has been her most regular partner, riding her 14 times for that single win together — roughly 1 in every 14 rides. She is trained by Nigel Tinkler, whose yard in Langton, North Yorkshire has been in fine form this season with 37 winners sent out. A trainer in that kind of form is always worth noting, even if Jeany May herself has not been sharing in it lately. She raced just yesterday, so the yard are clearly keeping her busy and looking for the right opportunity to find the winner's enclosure again.
