Alessia Fernanda

Trained by Declan Carroll at Malton, Alessia Fernanda shows clear preferences. She thrives over middle distances between a mile and an eighth and a mile and a quarter, winning 3 of her last 19 races at those lengths — a 16 percent win rate that jumps noticeably above her overall 10 percent record. More telling still is her Class 3 form. In races against slightly softer opposition, she has won 1 of her last 4 outings, a 25 percent win rate that hints at a horse who knows her level. Her jockey Chris Hayes, who rides her regularly, has steered her to one win from nine races together, suggesting stable partnership without fireworks.

The last four months have tested Alessia Fernanda. Her most recent victory came at Southwell on 29 April 2026, and since then she has finished sixth, eighth, sixth again, seventh, second, and sixth once more in her last six races. That recent form is ragged — she has shown glimpses of competitive racing with that second-place finish two weeks ago, but consistency has vanished. At six years old and after thirty career races, she remains useful but no longer sharp. What matters now is whether Carroll and Hayes can find the right race conditions — the right distance, the right class — to get her back to the winner's circle.
