Lillie Margot

The horse got her head in front for the first time at Nottingham on 3 June, and that remains her sole victory. Eight weeks have passed since that win, and in the meantime she has raced six times without adding to her tally. Her recent form — a fourth, a third, a first, then two sevenths — shows mixed results. That third placing came most recently, suggesting she can still find her way into the frame when it counts, even if the wins are proving difficult to come by.

Trained by Jedd O'Keeffe at Coverham in North Yorkshire, Lillie Margot runs from a yard that has been prolific this season with 20 winners already. O'Keeffe clearly knows how to get horses to the track ready to race, which is encouraging for this filly's prospects. She raced just a day ago, so she remains active and her team is running her regularly. For a three-year-old who has shown she can win at Nottingham, Lillie Margot is a horse worth watching for another opportunity — she just needs to rediscover the form that got her into the winner's circle two months ago.
