What makes that sequence quietly interesting is who has been on her back. Harry Skelton, one of the most accomplished jockeys in Britain, has ridden her in all six of those winless races and has not been able to get her over the line once. That is not necessarily a damning statistic — horses go through lean spells, and riders can only work with what they have — but it does raise the question of when things will click again for this partnership.
Her trainer is Harry's brother Dan Skelton, whose yard at Alcester in Warwickshire has been one of the most productive in Britain this season with 194 winners. When a team of that size and quality keeps running a horse, it tells you they still believe in her. And the evidence from her class record backs that up: in races at her typical level, Class 4, she has won 2 from 5 — that is a 40% win rate, which is genuinely strong. She clearly has the ability; it is just a matter of timing.
Dan Skelton spoke warmly about her potential back in November 2024, noting she had travelled beautifully at Aintree on her first run for the yard and finished third behind what he considered the best stayer on the day. She was already looking forward to what lay ahead for her. That optimism feels consistent with why she is still being actively campaigned — she raced just yesterday — despite the recent run of near-misses. The team clearly sees a horse that belongs at this level and is waiting for the day it all comes together again.
