Scent Of May

That breakthrough did come, though, and it came at Chepstow in August 2025 — a win that stands as the highlight of her career so far. It is now nine months ago, and her form since has been mixed, with a fifth place her best effort across the five runs that followed. The recent sequence of 12-5-9-1-4-2 (most recent first) shows a horse who can threaten the places but has slipped back from the standard she hit on that Chepstow afternoon.

She is trained by Henry Candy at Kingston Warren in Oxfordshire, a yard that has sent out nine winners already this season — a solid, active operation rather than a powerhouse stable, which makes every winner they find meaningful. Candy is a trainer with a reputation for patience and placing horses carefully, so it is worth watching whether Scent Of May is pointed back to conditions that suit her. She raced just one day ago, which means she is in active work right now and her the yard will have a clearer picture than anyone of where she stands heading into the summer.
