Ryan Moore rode three-year-old filly, Sayidah Dariyan for Richard Hughes. The speedy Night Raider, and Goodwood winner Jm Jungle were well-supported on the day too, while She's Quality, Frost At Dawn and Mgheera also received each-way support.

2025 Nunthorpe Stakes Result
| Position | Name | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Asfoora | 11/1 |
| 2nd | Ain't Nobody | 100/1 |
| 3rd | Frost At Dawn | 10/1 |
| 4th | Night Raider | 15/2 |
Night Raider took up the early running, with Manaccan joining the leader in the early stages. Asfoora was positioned behind the leaders early on, with Frost At Dawn moving up to challenge the pacesetters.
Lady Iman attempted to get forwards early, but couldn't match the older sprinters for speed. Arizona Blaze was another who couldn't claim his customary position at the head of the field, and began to drop away at the half-way stage.
The field bunched towards the centre of the track as the pace picked up. Night Raider couldn't sustain his challenge, and it was Asfoora who was the first to commit.
Oisin Murphy took the Australian raider to the front and Henry Dwyer's mare bounded into a three length lead. Frost As Dawn kept on well to her credit, with outsider Ain't Nobody storming home late on, but Asfoora put the race to bed at the furlong pole and kept on gamely to secure her second Group One win on British soil.
Ain't Nobody beat Frost At Dawn to second-place, with the front-running Night Raider holding on to place fourth. Rumstar stayed on well late in the day to finish fifth, with Jm Jungle, Mgheera, and Sayidah Dariyan challenging for the minors.
