Maggie Walker

The concern is momentum. That Cork win came three months ago, and her recent form reads 2-6-1 — a second-place finish followed by a well-beaten sixth and then a return to the frame with a placed run. She raced just a day ago, so she is clearly active and being given regular chances by her trainer David Marnane at Bansha in Co Tipperary. Marnane's yard has had a solid season, sending out 21 winners, which suggests Maggie Walker is in a yard that knows how to develop young talent. Whether she can string together the consistency to build on that early Cork success remains the question. At this stage, she is a young horse with promise rather than a proven performer, but she has shown enough to suggest she belongs in races and could yet deliver more wins if she can find that early spark again.
