Lanarra

The most striking fact is how fresh the wins are. Lanarra won just this week at Catterick Bridge on 26 August, and before that, broke through for its first career victory at Newcastle back in October 2025. The recent form shows a horse that is racing regularly and was beaten into third place and fourth place twice in the last few months before that latest success, so this is not a horse with a clear pattern of wins — more an animal that occasionally finds its moment. That said, the timing matters: having raced only yesterday and now saddled with a win within the past seven days, Lanarra is clearly in the yard's active plans and in the kind of form that trainers push to strike again. With R Mike Smith's yard having sent out 25 winners already this season, Lanarra is part of a team that knows how to get the best from its charges, and the horse's willingness to compete suggests there may be more to come.
