Pershaada

Both her wins have come at Goodwood, a track that clearly suits her. The first came on 22 May, and she returned to win there again on 29 July — just three weeks ago. That back-to-back success at the same course is worth noting. It means the track brings out her best, whether that's down to the ground, the layout, or simply that she relaxes better there than elsewhere. She was in action just yesterday, showing the yard is keeping her busy and confident enough to run her frequently. Her last six races tell a story of steady improvement: a third, a second, a fourth, a win, another win, then a fourteenth last time out. Young horses can have an off-day, and one poor run after two wins is hardly a crisis.

She's trained by Richard Hannon at his yard in Herridge, Wiltshire. Hannon is one of Britain's most successful trainers, and his yard has already sent out 118 winners this season alone — a level of consistent quality that matters when you're picking a horse to follow. Pershaada is exactly the type of improving young winner that catches the eye: she's active, she's proven at a specific track, and she's got genuine race-winning ability at just two years old. If Goodwood remains her playground, she could easily add to her tally before the season is out.
