Eabha (15:13 Newmarket — Class 3 Fillies’ Nursery, 7f)
A two-year-old bay filly by Space Blues, trained by Eve Johnson Houghton and partnered today by Billy Loughnane — the hottest jockey in training at 25% over the last fortnight. Eabha has won two of her four starts and is going for a hat-trick, having won right here at Newmarket over this exact trip just seven days ago at 15/2, beating Mysterious Times by a length. Before that she won at Epsom at 4/5. A filly who finds a way to win.
She has a 100% record at course and distance, a 100% record over 7f across two starts, and steps up from Class 4 to Class 3 in a small field of just five. Loughnane’s booking suggests connections are taking this very seriously.
Verdict: Back to win — course and distance winner last week, hat-trick on the cards, Loughnane the key booking. 🏇
