Tutty, who operates out of Osmotherley in North Yorkshire and has already sent out 20 winners this season, is quietly optimistic. She's been candid about the fact that it's taken a while to get the horse fully right, but says she now feels confident Singoura is back to where she wants her. A fourth-place finish at Doncaster last time out — just one day ago — was encouraging rather than deflating, and Tutty believes the horse is currently well-positioned on a rating of 64, meaning she won't be carrying excessive weight into her next race. That kind of official mark can be the difference between competing and winning. Redcar this Thursday is the next target.
Singoura does most of her racing at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter tier of British racing — competitive enough, but a long way from the glamour events. At that level she has won 1 from 6 races, a rate of roughly 1 in 6, which is modest but not without promise. Joanna Mason has been in the saddle for half her career, and their partnership has produced that sole win — 1 from 6 together, or wins about 1 in every 6 times they team up. That combination is likely to be seen again as Tutty looks to get her back in the winner's enclosure.
The picture here is of a horse that has had its difficulties but may be turning a corner at just the right time. The trainer's confidence, a recent encouraging run, and a race at Redcar on the horizon make this a profile worth revisiting in a few days' time.
