Cool Molly

Her recent run of form tells an even more compelling story. Looking at her last six races — a fifth, a pulled-up run, then second, first, first, and third reading back to front — she has clearly hit a purple patch. Two wins in her last six races, the most recent coming at Southwell just three weeks ago on 15 April 2026, suggests a horse that is thriving right now. She only had her first career win back in January 2026 at Chelmsford, so the progression in just a few months has been sharp.

The most striking number in her record is what happens when she races at distances between seven furlongs and a mile. At that range she has won 2 of her 3 races — a 67% win rate, or two wins from every three attempts. That is an extraordinary return and tells you something important: this is a horse with a very specific sweet spot, and when the yard place her at the right trip, she is extremely difficult to beat.

There is one puzzle worth noting. Cool Molly has run five times at Class 5 — the bread-and-butter level of British racing — and has not won once. Yet she has clearly won races. That apparent contradiction suggests her wins have come when tried at a different class of race, which would mean she actually performs better when stepped up in grade. That is the opposite of what you might expect, and it makes her an intriguing prospect.

She is trained by Ollie Sangster at his yard in Marlborough, Wiltshire, and the operation is clearly firing on all cylinders — 42 winners sent out already this season is a serious total. With Cool Molly raced as recently as yesterday and showing sharp recent form, she looks like a horse right in the middle of a productive spell.
