Her first win came at Sedgefield back in October 2024, and her most recent at Catterick Bridge just two months ago in March 2026 — so she is very much in form right now, having raced as recently as yesterday. Crucially, both of those wins have come at Class 4 level, which is where she has been most regularly pitched. At that level she has won 2 from 4 — that is a 50% win rate, meaning she has beaten half the fields she has faced when the race grade suits her. That is a genuinely striking number.

Jonjo O'Neill Jr has been the man in the saddle for most of her career — 7 of her 9 races — and together they have won 2 of those, a win rate of around 29%, or roughly 1 in every 3.5 rides. That kind of continuity between horse and jockey matters; it means someone who knows her quirks and tendencies is nearly always aboard. The pair are trained by Jonjo Sr and A.J. O'Neill out of Cheltenham, a yard that has sent out 52 winners already this season — a prolific operation that knows how to place a horse to best effect.

Her trainer has been candid about her journey so far. She won on her very first outing but then took a strong hold in her next two races — racing language for a horse that pulls hard and burns energy it should be saving. That sort of greenness can make a horse hard to place and hard to get the best from. She has since settled into a rhythm over hurdles, finishing second at Chepstow on her return to action — a run her trainer felt was genuinely good — and there is a sense from the yard that her best racing is still ahead of her, particularly in races aimed at mares at her level. Two wins and a place from her last six runs suggests she is heading in the right direction.
