Cinderello

The profile has a pleasing shape to it. The first win came at Uttoxeter in July 2025, and then, after a gap that included a couple of modest efforts, Cinderello found the winner's enclosure again at Warwick just this week — a result that lands the horse right at the top of its recent form. The last six runs read 1-3-4-1-4-12, which tells a story of a horse that can produce when conditions suit but is capable of disappearing on an off day. That 12th place in the mix is a reminder this is no machine, but two wins from the last six runs is genuinely encouraging form.

Alex Hales, based at Edgcote in Oxfordshire, trains this one, and the yard is in decent nick — 12 winners already this season, which suggests a team operating with confidence. Hales is not a headline-grabbing operation, but a consistent yard quietly getting results is often the best place for a horse like this: well managed, lightly campaigned, and pointed at races it can actually win. With Cinderello having raced just yesterday, it is clear the team see this as a horse in form worth keeping busy. Whether the Warwick win proves a one-off or the start of a little run is the question worth watching.
