That one win came at Gowran Park in Ireland in August 2024, now 21 months ago, and she has not managed to add to it in the six races since. Her recent form reads 5-3-4-4-12-7, which tells a familiar story: competitive more often than not, but not quite getting her nose in front. The 12th-place finish stands out as the outlier — on every other recent run she has been in the mix, and at her best distance of a mile to a mile and a quarter, she wins 1 in every 6 races, which is a meaningful step up on her overall record.
What makes Cancelled genuinely worth watching, though, is what comes next. Her trainer Jonjo O'Neill and his son A J, who have sent out 52 winners from their Cheltenham yard already this season, see her as more than just a flat-racing project. She has been jumping well at home, and the team are keeping their options open — thinking about a spring campaign that could take her in a new direction entirely. A horse that can compete on the flat and potentially go over obstacles is a rare and flexible commodity, and yards with 52 winners on the board know how to place a horse to best effect.
She may be waiting for the right opportunity rather than simply running out of ability. Keep an eye on her when the spring comes around.
