No Drama Mama

The recent form figures tell a consistent story: 5-5-8-8-6-5 in the last six races, which means a lot of mid-pack finishes and one genuinely difficult afternoon when it trailed home eighth. There are no sudden spikes of promise in there, no one run where things nearly clicked. It raced just yesterday, so the team clearly still believes there is something worth running for, and with a yard as active as Ollie Sangster's, that means something.

Sangster, based in Marlborough in Wiltshire, has had 46 winners on the board this season — a healthy total that shows this is a yard that knows how to get horses winning. The fact that No Drama Mama keeps getting entries despite its record suggests the team has not given up. Whether that faith is rewarded remains to be seen, but at three years old, there is at least time on its side. Some horses simply take longer to find their feet. This one is still looking.
