Her record breaks down to roughly 1 win in every 3.5 races across her career — a win rate of 29%, which is genuinely strong. Her most comfortable home is at Class 4, the solid working level of British jump racing, where she has won 4 of 13 races (31%). That tells you she belongs at that level and then some — a horse who simply wins there wouldn't keep turning up. Jockey Gavin Sheehan has ridden her in 20 of her 24 races and won 5 of them together, a partnership that clearly suits her.

Trainer Jamie Snowden, who runs a busy and productive yard in Lambourn — 82 winners this season alone — has been patient with her. He admitted she lost her way during a difficult spell on wet, muddy ground, and that a quirk in how a development programme structured its penalty rules left her stuck in an awkward position for roughly two years. "No-man's land," as he put it. That kind of administrative headache can derail a horse's momentum entirely, and it speaks well of both trainer and horse that she has come out the other side in the form of her life.

She got her first career win at Wetherby back in October 2022, and that journey since — through the difficult season, the penalty limbo, and back out into a purple patch — makes the Hexham win this week feel like more than just another result. The 1-2-1-2-1-2 sequence over her last six races is almost metronomic. She shows up, she competes at the sharp end, and more often than not she wins. For a horse that Snowden believes still has more to give, that is a genuinely exciting place to be.
