Me Wee Bonnie Lass

Her last victory came at Bellewstown back in April 2024 — nearly two years ago now — and she has gone six races without winning since. The recent form figures tell a mixed story: a second place in her most recent completed race is genuinely encouraging, sandwiched around a couple of runs where she finished seventh and sixth. She is not disgracing herself, but she has not been able to get her head back in front either.

Keith Donoghue rides her most often, partnering her six times for that one win together — a win rate of around 1 in 6, or roughly 17%. That is not a partnership firing on all cylinders, but it is a settled one, and familiarity with a horse counts for something. The stable behind her is in fine form: Gavin Cromwell's yard has sent out 94 winners already this season, which is the kind of output that tells you the operation knows what it is doing. When a yard is running that hot, horses in the string tend to be trained with purpose.

She first won at Downpatrick in July 2023, and her best days have come at smaller Irish tracks where the atmosphere is local and the competition manageable. At 7, she is not young, but she is not finished either — horses can keep competing well into their later years, and a second-place finish in her most recent outing suggests she still has something to offer. The question is whether she can find the right opportunity to convert that form into a win, before too much more time passes since she last did it.
