Daisy Roots
Daisy Roots has become a reliable workhorse at the lower levels of British racing, winning six races from 43 starts and finishing in the top three on 18 occasions — a solid record for a six-year-old who has been racing for nearly three years. The horse shows a clear preference for races around a mile and one to one-and-a-quarter furlongs, where it wins roughly one in every four races (5 wins from 19), and performs most consistently in Class 6 company, winning 4 of 21 races at that level. Trained by
Jim Boyle at Epsom, Daisy Roots has been an active competitor, racing just yesterday, and shows good form with
Pat Cosgrave, who has ridden the horse to victory in 2 of their 7 races together — a win rate of nearly 30%.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The concern is that the horse has hit a dry spell. It hasn't found the winner's circle in 13 months, since a victory at Lingfield Park in September 2025, though recent races suggest it remains competitive: a fourth place on last outing aside, it finished in the top three in four of its last six races. The fact that a horse winning roughly one in every seven races overall (14% win rate) is still hitting the placings regularly enough to be worth following is a sign that Daisy Roots remains a consistent performer at its level, even if that winning spark has dimmed for now. For those who enjoy backing steady improvers and in-form runners, the horse's recent top-three finishes suggest a return to the winner's enclosure is not beyond the realm of possibility.
