Me Wee Bonnie Lass

There's a horse in Gavin Cromwell's yard in Navan that knows exactly what it likes — give it slightly soft ground and it becomes a different animal. Me Wee Bonnie Lass has won 2 of its 3 races on that kind of surface, a remarkable two-in-three conversion rate that tells you all you need to know about where this seven-year-old is at its happiest. Compare that to its overall record — 4 wins from 17 races, roughly 1 in every 4 — and it becomes clear that conditions aren't just a preference for this horse, they're closer to a requirement.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Cromwell's operation is one of the busiest in Ireland right now, having sent out 103 winners already this season, so a horse needs to earn its place in a yard like that. Me Wee Bonnie Lass has done that steadily, banking 4 wins and 6 places across a 17-race career. It's not a horse that dominates — but it shows up, it competes, and it picks its moments. The first win came at Downpatrick back in July 2023, and the most recent landed at Fairyhouse just two months ago in April 2026, which tells you it's still very much a live force at seven, not a horse running out the clock.

The jockey picture is interesting. Keith Donoghue has had the ride most often — six times — but they've only clicked once together, a win rate of 1 in 6. That's not a disaster, but it does suggest there's still some upside in that partnership, or perhaps room for someone else to unlock this horse on the right day.

Recent form reads 7-1-2 in the last three completed runs, which is a solid sequence — a win and a second place sandwiched around a below-par effort, with a race in between where it didn't finish (marked as a dash). It raced just yesterday, so Cromwell clearly has it fit and active. A horse that won two months ago, ran yesterday, and handles wet ground in a country that rarely runs short of wet ground — that's a combination worth keeping an eye on.
