25th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |

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. |
20/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
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. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 2-3 on AW when winning on handicap/seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last April; then off until the autumn, when running some respectable races on turf; has to better that form to win off her current mark but this 4yo remains lightly raced and is not discounted. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 6f AW winner; returned from five-month break with two respectable turf runs last month (7f/6f) and is not yet fully exposed after only six starts but others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |

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. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has a record of 2-7 over C&D (both wins on good to firm) and although not in quite the same form this year as she was last summer, such as when going close off 13lb higher on this track, she wasn't far away back here two starts ago; no surprise to see her go well. |
7/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five wins on turf have been at Windsor and Salisbury, the latest off a 2lb higher mark than today's; runner-up over this C&D (good to firm) in April before another solid effort at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago; drops in grade with claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

The winner of ten of her 39 starts, notably when scampering clear of ten rivals in a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; this represents a much stiffer assignment. |
33/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins last year and campaign concluded with good fourth of 11 over this C&D (good); down the field on reappearance at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March but may have needed the run and is not ruled out. |
14/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Seven wins from 18 AW runs, three of them here; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark but she goes well fresh and the booking of Oisin Murphy is a notable one. |

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. |

9th 9 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Well suited by this track, recording both her wins here and in the frame on her other three visits; ran on well to take third at Goodwood eight days ago; one to take seriously. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
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. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

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. |

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 |
|
8th 14 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat her five rivals to make all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; didn't run badly on stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in April and could improve for that run; this race is more competitive than she's used to but she's not ruled out each-way. |
50/1 |
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]
