West Hill Rosie

Her last five races tell a story of gradual improvement. Finishing outside the frame in her earlier outings, she has since worked her way into third and fifth place, which at least points in the right direction. She raced just one day ago, so she is bang in the middle of an active campaign right now.

She is trained by Seamus Mullins, whose small yard in Wilsford-Cum-Lake in Wiltshire has punched out 10 winners this season — a solid return that tells you this is a team that knows how to get a horse ready to win. Mullins is the kind of trainer who tends to place horses carefully rather than throw them in at the deep end, so it would be no surprise if the right opportunity is being lined up for West Hill Rosie to open her account. She has not won yet, but with her form trending upward and a capable trainer steering the ship, the first win might not be far away.
