Look To The West
Look To The West is a horse that has found her groove over jumps, winning 3 of her 9 races and placing in another 5 — a record that puts her among the consistent performers in her sphere. At eight years old, she is in her prime, and her recent form suggests she is coming back into serious contention after a quiet spell. She won twice in her last six races, most recently at Limerick on 21 May, four months ago, and returned to action just a day ago, meaning she is actively campaigned and still part of the plan at Rathkeale.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by E McNamara in County Limerick, Look To The West specializes over fences. She won her first race at Navan in November 2023, and her jumping has been the key to her success — described by jockey Rachael Blackmore after a win at Kilbeggan as "very good," with the horse showing a natural talent for it and an obvious love of the task. The mare is straightforward to ride and gallops keenly, qualities that make her valuable in a yard. McNamara's stable has sent out 22 winners this season, placing her in a competent operation that clearly knows how to get the best from jumpers. Recent comments from the trainer suggest the plan is to build on what she has shown, with confidence that her jumping prowess will continue to carry her forward in the months ahead.
