Ashikita
Ashikita is a 5-year-old with a short but sharp career record — one win and one place from just three races, which means it has finished in the top two in two out of every three outings. That is a genuinely impressive return for a horse still early in its story.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The win came at Roscommon on 30 June 2026, just days ago, so Ashikita arrives here in the best possible form. Roscommon is a tight, turning track in the west of Ireland that suits horses who travel well through a race rather than relying on a late burst — the fact that Ashikita won there tells you something about its racecraft. Before that, the form reads 5th and 13th, so the pieces have clearly come together quickly.
The trainer is J P Murtagh, based at Coolaghknock Glebe in County Kildare, and the yard is having a strong season — 53 winners already. That kind of output means Murtagh is not sending horses out for the sake of it. When a horse from this team shows up, it is usually ready to run.
