Alessia Fernanda

The distance that suits her best is between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs. Over that range she has raced 18 times and won 3 of them — a win rate of 17%, or almost 1 in every 6. That is meaningfully better than her overall record and tells you something useful: get the trip right and she becomes a different proposition.

Her most recent win came at Southwell just two months ago, in late April 2026, which means she arrives at this point of the season with recent form to build on rather than distant memories. Before that, her first career win came at Cork in October 2024 — so she has been a long time finding her feet, but she has been finding them more consistently of late. Her last six runs read 7-6-8-1-7-4, which is patchy, but that win sitting in the middle of the sequence is a reminder of what she can do on the right day.

She is trained by Declan Carroll at Malton in North Yorkshire, a yard that has sent out 24 winners this season — a solid, active operation that clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win. Her regular jockey is Chris Hayes, who has ridden her in 9 of her races and partnered her to 1 of her wins, giving the pair a shared win rate of 11%. She competes mainly at Class 3 level, where she has won 1 from 4 races — 25%, which is actually a healthy return and suggests she is not out of place in that company.

Alessia Fernanda is not a headline horse, but she is consistent, still active, and currently in the form of her life. For anyone watching her next run, the things to look for are the trip — that mile to mile-and-a-quarter range — and whether conditions set up for what she does best.
