Autumn Affair

That sole victory came at Lingfield Park on 25 March 2026, and it is the detail that shapes everything else in her profile. At the shorter distances — between 5 furlongs and 6 and a half furlongs — she has won 1 from 3 races, a rate of roughly 1 in 3, which is genuinely solid for a horse this age still finding her feet. The sharp, tight circuit at Lingfield clearly suits her, and the yard will be watching closely to see whether she can reproduce that form somewhere new.

What is harder to ignore is the record at Class 4 level, the grade she has contested most often: 0 wins from 3 races. That is not a crisis — she has placed in some of those efforts — but it does suggest she has yet to fully assert herself against horses at that level. Her most recent run, just yesterday, produced a fourth-place finish, following a win, another fourth, and back-to-back seconds before that. The overall shape of her form is a horse working her way up rather than one in a slump.

Eustace has had a productive season, sending out 24 winners from his Newmarket base, which tells you this is a yard that knows how to place a horse to best advantage. Autumn Affair is only three, the spring is young, and if the right race comes up — particularly over a sprint trip at a track that plays to her strengths — she looks more than capable of adding to her tally.
