Lady Roisia

Ralph Beckett's yard, based in Hampshire, has already saddled 107 winners this season, and Lady Roisia represents something the trainer clearly values: the first horse he has trained from her sire, Talent. Beckett has spoken positively about her work at home, suggesting she is capable of stepping up again, and has earmarked races like Chester as potential targets. Her jockey after her Nottingham win noted that she showed signs of inexperience in that victory — looking around and losing momentum when she hit the front — but that greenness is often a green light for improvement as a horse matures. The key to Lady Roisia may simply be time and race fitness. At three years old, she is still young enough to develop, and a yard as successful as Beckett's doesn't keep a horse in training without reason.
