Pendella

That win came at Wolverhampton in February 2026, and while Wolverhampton is an all-weather track that runs through the winter months, winning there still counts, and it gave Pendella her first taste of what crossing the line first feels like. Her recent form reads 5-3-1-4-2 from most recent backwards, meaning she won third time out and has been mixing placed finishes with the odd disappointing run either side. She raced just one day ago, so she is very much in the thick of an active campaign right now.

What gives her profile real interest is the yard behind her. K R Burke, based at Coverham in North Yorkshire, has sent out 140 winners already this season — that is a stable operating at a high level, and horses trained there tend to be placed with care and brought along properly. When a yard of that quality keeps running a horse, it usually means they see something worth nurturing. Pendella, still only three, has time on her side and a trainer who clearly knows how to find the right race at the right moment.
