Mary

Her recent form reads 2-5-4-1-5-3, which means she's been finishing in the places without converting, though that "1" in the sequence is her most recent win at Warwick on 23 September 2025. She raced just yesterday, so she's fit, active, and clearly being kept busy by her trainer Ian Williams, whose yard in Portway, Worcestershire has been in seriously good form this season — 96 winners and counting. That's a yard firing on all cylinders, which is encouraging context for any horse carrying their colours.

What's interesting — and slightly puzzling — is how Mary fares when the races get tougher. At Class 4 level, which represents a meaningful step up in quality, she has run seven times and won precisely none of them. Zero from seven. That's the kind of record that makes you wonder whether her two wins have come in softer company, and whether she's simply found her ceiling when better horses turn up. For a horse whose career earnings sit at whatever level her two wins suggest, cracking Class 4 would be a genuine breakthrough.

Her regular partnership with jockey Charlie Todd tells a similar story — one win from 17 races together, which is about 6%, or roughly 1 in every 17 rides. That's a modest return, but the fact they keep being paired together suggests the team at Williams' yard believe in the combination, even if the scoreboard hasn't fully agreed yet. Her first career win came at Stratford-on-Avon in August 2024, and her second at Warwick a little over a year later — patient, steady progress rather than anything explosive.

Mary is a horse for the committed follower rather than the casual punter. She places often enough to stay interesting, wins rarely enough to make those moments count, and is backed by a yard in the form of its life. Whether she can finally crack that Class 4 barrier is the question worth watching.
