Ralph Beckett continues to fire in the winners, especially among the juvenile division, which bodes very well for next season. Another who can head into the winter with a one by her name is Rikissa, who runs in the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Fillies' Novice Stakes at Windsor today.

She is a half-sister to Zoum Zoum, a Listed winner for Beckett a few years ago, and she attracted plenty of interest ahead of her Newbury debut.

Unfortunately, her race was almost over on coming out of the stalls, as she was very slowly away, and though she got back into contention, those exertions took their toll late on.

It would be no surprise at all to see her improve on that run massively.

The King's Falcon can put his experience to good use in the first division of the Unibet Zero% Mission/EBF Novice Stakes at Kempton.

All bar one of his rivals are making their debut, but this William Haggas-trained youngster has a very satisfactory first run under his belt already.
