Aphra Behn
Aphra Behn broke her duck in style at Ripon last week, recording her first career win on 26 September after four earlier races without success. The two-year-old has now won 1 of her 5 races, with three additional placings that show she has the habit of finishing in the money — a promising sign at this early stage. Her recent form reads 1-3-4-2-3, meaning she has managed at least a place in three of her last five outings, including that breakthrough victory just days ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Ralph Beckett at his Kimpton yard in Hampshire, Aphra Behn is part of an operation in excellent form this season, with over 107 winners already sent out. A debut winner who then picked up placings rather than another victory in quick succession is fairly typical for a young horse still finding her feet, and the fact that she has now tasted winning will have given her real confidence going forward. She is still actively racing — her last outing was just a day ago — which means her the yard are keen to keep momentum going while she is in form.
