Looked a bright prospect when upsetting an odds-on chance in a 6f maiden at Dundalk last August; may be vulnerable on turf/seasonal debut. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Kept taking steps forward, most recently when a cosy winner at Hamilton (6f, good; has won on heavy) in July so a hefty defeat as favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup since was a blow; perhaps fitting cheekpieces will help, perhaps not; up against it on these terms either way. |

9st 10lb |
Has an outstanding record for Oisin Murphy, winning four of five starts for him and unfortunate to not to make it a clean sweep in the other; has won over 7f and is effective on all surfaces; she tends to cut it fine but was again strong when it mattered at Hamilton (6f, good) in July and continues on the upgrade; solid chance. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Third to Beautiful Diamond over 5.5f here (soft) in September on her final run for Mark Usher; low-key start for Ralph Beckett but she bounced back to form at York (6f, good) eight days ago, blowing the start but making a big mid-race move before weakening into fourth close home; shaped like the best horse in that race and perhaps has a stronger chance than her rating might indicate. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well when third in a Listed event at Ayr last September (5.5f, soft; final run for Mark Usher); unplaced in two Listed races for new stable in 2026; faces a more suitable challenge today and her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
More than just not handling the track was amiss when she was last on her recent return at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); however, this lightly raced 4yo showed improved form when tackling soft ground at Ayr last September, finishing third in that 5.5f Listed race; not discounted back on slow ground. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 6f AW winner, most recently at Wolverhampton last April off a 4lb higher mark; well beaten on turf on her first two outings this year but she did run respectably on the AW 12 days ago; cheekpieces added; suspicion she may be at her best over 6f. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Couple of absences since winning a 6f handicap here last spring off a 2lb higher mark; the return to Tapeta is an obvious plus point but she's very hit and miss, and will need to improve somewhat on this season's two efforts after two months off. |
12/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power. |

Out of the frame on AW in sole outing this term; solid 2yo campaign on turf featured a soft-ground win in conditions race and two placed efforts at Listed level; return to this sphere is the angle with her. |

Likes a strong pace to chase and won in spite of that here 12 days ago, enhancing her good record at the track; just 2lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over C&D last month; went agonisingly close in a big field at Glorious Goodwood (again 6f on good to firm) 19 days ago and although back up 2lb today, it's not forgotten that she went close in this race last year off 6lb higher still; big shout if she can find the gaps in coming from off the pace. |
11/2 |

2nd 6 (27) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over 6f on good to firm 16 days ago; a 5lb rise looks manageable, particularly as she went close off 4lb higher at this meeting last year; on the shortlist. |

Fine strike-rate; hit hard for her runaway win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in May and she has finished down the field in two runs since; others look more persuasive. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) in June before respectable eighth of 20 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good; second of six in near-side group); versatile ground-wise and has run really well on both visits to Salisbury; chance. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (21) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Close up over C&D in June (soft) and gained her first win away from Windsor when challenging 1f out and just holding on at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on latest start; 2lb rise is no big deal but this race is way deeper. |
25/1 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Has performed creditably a few times this term but her form surprisingly dipped at Windsor last time, has gained both wins at that venue; others preferred. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

6f novice win at Goodwood as a 2yo; only midfield on her seasonal/handicap debut at Doncaster in April but she built on that with a game win at Chester in May (6f, good); failed to fire back at Goodwood in July though and now drops in class for her AW debut. |

Seemed to have things more or less under control when narrowly beating Lady Of Andros at Chester (6f, good) in May; weighted to confirm the placings but refused to enter the stalls in June, so a doubt has to be factored in. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unconventional tracks look to be her thing as she broke through at Brighton (6f) and signed off for Andrew Balding with a win at Epsom (7f); fallen short for new yard so far (at scene of most recent win of late) and looks best watched. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made all last term in a maiden at Brighton (good to firm) and a handicap over C&D (good to soft), the latter in September on final run for Andrew Balding; back over C&D on last two outings and not disgraced when sixth of ten on latest (co-favourite); case can be made back on last winning mark. |
6/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; failed to build on AW reappearance for new yard when only eighth of 16 over C&D but it was a competitive 0-100 at the Derby meeting and she should find life easier at this level. |
4/1 |
Verdict
Highly progressive NARIKO (nap) is still a fresh filly, having raced only twice this season, and may well be capable of completing a hat-trick. Ms Willpower (second choice) and Orchid are interesting rivals who look open to further improvement, while Running Queen has possibilities back on turf and Under The Twilight holds solid claims.[Steve Boow]
