Her two wins came at opposite ends of the country and several months apart — Beverley in May 2025 and Chelmsford in August 2025 — which shows she handles different tracks and different ground rather than being a one-trick pony. That said, the Chelmsford win was now nine months ago, and her last six runs have produced nothing better than a third place, with a run of fifth, third, fourth, fifth, a blank, and ninth in her most recent outings. It is not a crisis, but it is a dry spell that will not be lost on the team at Ollie Sangster's yard.
Sangster, based in Marlborough in Wiltshire, has had a productive season — 42 winners sent out is a serious haul and signals a yard operating with real confidence. Sam James rides Artista most regularly, and their partnership has produced 1 win from 5 races together, a win rate of around 1 in 5, which is a healthy return for a jockey-horse combination. The fact that Artista raced just one day ago shows the team are keeping her busy and hunting for that next win. With her level of form at Class 5 and a yard in good shape around her, another victory is not a matter of if — more a matter of when the right race comes along.
