Soulful Diva

That win came at Cork on 14 August 2025, and it stands as the highlight of her career so far. A dash through the recent form figures — 6, a non-runner, 4, then the winning 1, followed by an 8 and a 5 — shows a horse whose results have been inconsistent, with that Cork victory sitting as a clear peak sandwiched between some rougher efforts. For a young horse still learning the game, that kind of up-and-down pattern is not unusual, but it does mean the yard — sorry, the team — will be looking for her to find that level again more consistently.

She is trained by David Marnane at his yard in Bansha, County Tipperary, and the operation is clearly in good form right now — 21 winners already this season is a healthy return that suggests the yard knows how to place its horses well. That is worth keeping in mind with Soulful Diva: when Marnane finds the right opportunity, he tends to make it count. She last raced just one day ago, so she is very much a live, active runner at the moment, and how she bounces out of that latest run will tell us a fair amount about where she heads next.
