Canaria Queen

She has been trained throughout her career by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, a yard that sent out 128 winners this season and clearly knows how to handle horses at her level. Her regular jockey is Duran Fentiman, who has partnered her to three wins from twenty rides together—exactly matching her 15 per cent overall win rate, which suggests he fits her well enough but has not worked any particular magic.

Her class home is at Class 6 level, where she has won four of nineteen races, a 21 per cent return that marks her as genuine competition at that grade. However, she has gone three months without a win—her last victory came at Hamilton Park on 10 June—and her recent form has been patchy. In her last six runs, she has managed one win, three places, and two below-the-board efforts, the kind of form that keeps a horse in racing but does little to suggest a turning point is coming. Still, at six years old and still racing actively, she remains useful to her yard and clearly sound enough to keep competing.
