Miss Attitude

The ground makes a significant difference. On fast, dry ground, Miss Attitude has won 3 of 9 races — that's 1 in every 3, a completely different horse to the one who plods through wet conditions. Trainers and punters with long memories will know to keep an eye on the forecast before dismissing her. Jack Channon's yard at West Ilsley in Berkshire has been in excellent form this season, sending out 47 winners, which suggests the operation behind her is functioning well — always a useful thing to know when a horse looks ready to run into form.

The partnership with jockey Charles Bishop is worth noting too. Together they have won 3 of their 8 races, which is 1 in every 2.7 — a win rate of 38% that is frankly striking. When those two are paired up on suitable ground, the combination has a proven knack for getting the job done. It is the kind of statistic that makes you sit up slightly when you see them listed together on a race card.

Her best level appears to be the Class 4 tier — one step below the top end of everyday racing — where she has won 3 of 8 races. That is a 38% win rate at that level, which tells you she belongs there and knows how to compete. Push her up in class and the record thins out; drop her back to that level on a dry summer's day with Bishop in the saddle, and she becomes genuinely interesting.

Recent form — finishing seventh, twelfth, seventh, second, sixth, second across her last six races — shows a horse in and around the frame without quite converting. She has not won since Southwell in March 2025, now 13 months ago. But she raced just eight days ago and is clearly fit and active. The win at Southwell and her first career victory at Sandown in August 2022 show she can produce when conditions align. The question is simply when that alignment happens again.
