Startled Lady
Startled Lady is a three-year-old filly with a straightforward racing record: one win and eight places from fifteen races, giving her a win rate of roughly 1 in every 14 outings. That single victory came at Great Yarmouth on 15 July, and she has not found the winner's circle since—now three months ago. Her recent form shows a horse still searching for consistency. Over her last six races, she has recorded a place in four of them, with finishes of 6th, 3rd, 3rd, 8th, 1st, and 3rd, suggesting she has the ability to run well but cannot quite string together the results that matter.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by William Knight at Newmarket, Startled Lady races in a yard that has sent out 28 winners already this season—a solid operation with clear ambition. The pattern of her career so far is telling: when stepped up to races at Class 5 level, the highest-grade races she has attempted, she has failed to win any of her four attempts. This suggests she may be better suited to lower-grade competition, where she has managed her single success. At just three years old, there is still time for her to develop, and her sequence of recent placings indicates she is capable of competing and finishing well. Whether she can recapture the form that brought her success at Great Yarmouth in the summer remains to be seen. She raced just a day ago, so the yard are keeping her active and looking for opportunities.
