Miss Cynthia

At distances between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs, Miss Cynthia has won one race from three attempts — another 33% win rate. Pair that with the ground preference and you begin to see the shape of her: a horse that needs soft ground and a test of stamina, conditions that suit her far more than dry, fast surfaces. Her last win came at Fakenham on 18 January 2026, nine months ago now. Since then she has had just six races and placed three times, most recently a second place just a day ago. The form suggests she is still capable, still competitive, just searching for that ideal scenario.

Dan Skelton's yard at Alcester has been prolific this season with 198 winners, a sign of a powerful operation, and Luke Morris — her most regular partner — has ridden her eight times, winning once. It is not a fancy record together, but Miss Cynthia typically races in Class 4 company, the lower tiers of racing, where winning 33% of the time on soft ground over her preferred distance would make her a genuinely valuable horse. The next rainy spell and the right race — at the right track and distance — and she could win again soon.
