Call Margot

That sole win came at Southwell in early April, and it clearly made an impression on Tutty. The trainer describes Call Margot as a "very fast filly" — high praise from someone who chooses their words carefully when talking about horses with potential. The catch is that she is keen-going, meaning she can pull hard and burn herself out if the race does not unfold at a fast enough tempo. At Southwell, everything fell into place. The pace was right, she relaxed into it, and she delivered. Whether she can replicate that on turf is the question Tutty is now trying to answer.

The plan is ambitious. A race at York comes next, followed by a tilt at the three-year-old Dash at Epsom — one of the most prestigious sprint races for horses her age. Tutty's yard won that race two years ago with Blue Storm, so this is not wishful thinking; it is a trainer who knows what a horse with that kind of speed looks like, and believes Call Margot fits the profile. Tutty has sent out 20 winners already this season, so the yard is in good form and clearly has the confidence to pitch a horse at a big occasion. Whether Call Margot can handle the step up in class remains to be seen, but she is a horse worth watching — and at sprint distances, on a good day, she could make people take notice.
