The Feminine Urge

What stands out in the recent form is that two of those wins have come in the last six races. The most recent victory came at Great Yarmouth in June 2025, and before that a win at Catterick Bridge back in August 2024 — so this is a horse that has genuinely progressed through its three-year-old season rather than flashing early and fading. The form since then reads 8-4-5 (eighth, fourth, fifth), which is a little patchy, but that sequence also comes with a six-month break built in. The Feminine Urge has not raced for around 201 days, so returning from a long absence is the big question mark here.

One factor that could prove crucial on the way back is the ground. On fast, dry ground, this horse has won 2 of 6 races — that is 1 in every 3, which is noticeably better than its overall record. Conditions clearly suit when the ground is quick, and if the weather plays ball, that becomes a real positive.

The partnership with jockey Callum Shepherd is worth noting too. Together they have won 2 of their 10 races — exactly 1 in every 5 — and both of those wins are part of the horse's career total, meaning Shepherd has been aboard for every victory. That kind of familiarity matters when a horse is coming back from a layoff. Trainer George Scott, based at the famous racing town of Newmarket in Suffolk, has had 53 winners this season, which shows a yard in good form and capable of producing horses ready to run on their return.

The big unknown is how sharp The Feminine Urge will be after six months off the track. But the combination of a capable trainer, a trusted jockey, and a clear preference for dry conditions gives this horse a decent foundation to build from as it comes back into action.
