Sahana

Her two wins have come at different points in the year and at different tracks, which suggests she is adaptable rather than a one-trick pony. The first came at Great Yarmouth in June 2025, and the second at Lingfield Park in September — two very different venues, which is quietly encouraging. Her recent form reads 2-5-6-1-2-6, meaning she has had a winner and a runner-up in her last six races alongside a couple of disappointing days. That kind of inconsistency is common at her level, and it makes her genuinely tricky to predict.

Most of Sahana's races have come at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing — competitive, but not the elite end of the sport. She has won 1 from 8 at that level, a 12% win rate, which is modest. Interestingly, over distances of seven furlongs to a mile, her record improves sharply: 1 win from just 3 races, meaning she wins 1 in every 3 races at those trips. That is a meaningful difference, and it suggests her trainer David Simcock may have found her sweet spot.

Simcock is a respected name at Newmarket — one of the most competitive training centres in the world — and his yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 39 winners. That is a healthy operation, and having Sahana in it means she is being prepared by people who know what they are doing. She raced just yesterday, so she is very much in the thick of her season right now, and with her best distance profile starting to emerge, there could be more to come from this horse before the year is out.
