Mange Tout

Her debut win came at Down Royal in November 2025, and even then she was doing it the hard way. Elliott had left her hood off, reasoning she seemed relaxed enough at home. She wasn't relaxed at the races. Jockey Jack Kennedy later reported she had run away with him for most of the trip. The fact that she won anyway tells you something important — horses can get away with wasting energy like that once, maybe twice, but rarely consistently. Elliott called it a "good performance to win considering what she did" and said she showed class. He was right.

What came next confirmed it. At Fairyhouse, she put together the kind of performance that makes trainers smile and rivals nervous. She was untidy early in the race, not jumping with the fluency you'd want, but when Kennedy found her some room and let her breathe, she transformed. She winged the second-last fence, quickened, then quickened again at the last — putting lengths between herself and the field in the space of a few strides from the final jump to the line. That burst of acceleration is the thing that separates ordinary horses from good ones.

Most recently she won at Aintree just this week, making it three wins from her last four races. The one defeat in that sequence came at Leopardstown, where a horse called Narciso got the better of her — though Elliott was relaxed about it, noting that Narciso "beat her fair and square" and is probably a serious horse in his own right. That kind of honest assessment from a trainer who sends out winners at the rate of 209 this season — roughly four a week — is worth listening to.

Elliott has spoken about targeting a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse in the spring, with other big occasions potentially to follow. His view is simple: this horse is going to win a lot of races. With a record of 3 wins and 4 places from just 4 starts, and a burst of finishing speed that her jockey is still talking about, it would be foolish to disagree.
