Had a very productive 2024 for David O'Meara, successful 4 times. However, not yet fired for present stable this year, running poorly at York latest.

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in May on return. Good second of 5 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good, 11/8) 84 days ago. Can go well fresh so likely player again.

9/4
Followed up her Chepstow win with a workmanlike success under a penalty at Windsor (11.4f) 3 days later. 5/2, only fifth of 8 at Lingfield in hat-trick bid but has been freshened up since. Remains of interest.

Won at this course (9.8f) in June and continues in good heart, fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 6/1) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip.

Forecasts

Spring Chorus (6/5), Phaedra (9/4), Shielas Well (7/2), Churchella (16/1), Dandy's Angel (18/1)

16:24 Ripon - 16 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

PHAEDRA had a couple of possible excuses for being a bit below par on her hat-trick attempt at Lingfield and can resume winning ways back from a break. Spring Chorus has looked better than ever this year and is the obvious threat.
