Princess Niyla

Her last win came at Beverley on 28 May 2025, now 16 months in the past. That gap says everything about the difficulty she has had in finding another race to win, despite being actively campaigned by trainer Alan Brown's yard at Yedingham in North Yorkshire. The recent form is sobering: over her last six races, she has finished 9th, 6th, 3rd, 7th, 3rd, and 5th. There are placings in there that hint at latent ability — two thirds — but no breakthrough.

Where she has found most success is on normal ground: she has won 2 of her 13 races on standard conditions, a win rate of 15 percent. She also runs well in the 7 furlongs to 1 mile range, where she has managed 1 win from 7 races, roughly 14 percent. Her typical racing ground is Class 5 competition, where she has notched 2 wins from 20 races. Rowan Scott, her most frequent partner, has ridden her 11 times for a single win. These are modest statistics, but they at least point to conditions and distances where Princess Niyla has shown she can get the job done. At this stage of her career, finding the right race — the right surface, the right distance, the right company — may be what she needs to add to her tally.
