25th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 4lb |
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 |

11th 7 (18) |
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. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage filly whose form wearing hood comprises a success in 6f novice event and two good efforts in Listed grade, third at Ayr when last seen (final outing for Mark Usher; remains with same owner); could go well in the retained headgear. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 9 (3) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) last month before Listed fourth at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) four days later, wearing a hood each time; similar form when sixth in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on Tuesday; however, she's down the pecking order today; the hood returns. |

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. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Her last two wins have come over C&D, the latest off this mark last June (good to firm); bumped into one at Leicester 16 days ago and it was a run that promised better; can't rule out. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Should be all the better for her Doncaster reappearance and she's back on the same mark as for her Windsor success (6f, good to firm) last June; however, all her turf wins have come there and at Salisbury and this is the first time she's run on this track. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained all turf wins at Salisbury and Windsor but appears effective at Doncaster, having finished 2l third off 4lb higher in this race on reappearance last year; each-way shout. |

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. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well when second of seven on her Southwell reappearance (6f, Tapeta) last month and wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in a 0-95 contest over C&D nine days ago; considered down in grade back against her own sex. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Both her wins have come at Windsor in midsummer; she made an encouraging seasonal return when second of seven in a fillies' handicap at Southwell two weeks ago but another step forward will be required to trouble the principals today. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Not seen in 140 days and although she has gone well fresh in the past, remains 9lb above her last winning mark; others more convincing. |

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. |
10/1 |

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. |

Best form for Andrew Balding came on turf, including wins at Brighton (6f, good to firm) and Epsom (7f, good to soft) last year; makes stable debut after 190 days off having changed hands for 50,000gns in October; market informative. |

1st 5 (6) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded a game success in Brighton maiden (6f) in June; neck second, clear of remainder, upped to 7f at Chester (good) most recently; this 3yo filly may do better still and is one to consider. |
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]
