English Lady

Her most recent win came at Kempton Park in September 2025, and her last six runs read 3-7-3-14-3-1 from most recent back — so after that win she's been knocking on the door, finishing third three times in that stretch. The 14th-place finish is the obvious blot, but the bookending thirds suggest she's been running consistently just below winning level. Whether she can find that extra gear again is the key question.

English Lady tends to operate at Class 6, which is the entry-level tier of British racing — the sort of race where the prize money is modest and competition is open to horses finding their feet or grinding out a career at their own level. She's won 1 from 7 at that grade, which is a 14% win rate, and the five places in there suggest she belongs but hasn't dominated. Her first win came at Chelmsford in November 2024, and Kempton followed nine months later — so she's not one of those horses who clicks into gear and rattles off wins, but she keeps plugging away.

Kieran O'Neill rides her most often, partnering her in 6 of her 15 races for that one win together — roughly 1 in every 6 rides. That's a workmanlike record, but given that English Lady was raced just yesterday and is clearly fit and active, the partnership is still very much a live one. Dean Ivory, who trains her from his yard in Radlett, Hertfordshire, has sent out 7 winners this season — a decent tally that suggests the yard is in decent form and knows how to place a horse to give it a chance. With English Lady running as recently as yesterday, clearly the team think there's another win in her yet.
