The horse broke through for her first win at Wolverhampton in September 2023 and quickly showed she could follow up, but the last year and a half has been a slog. She hasn't crossed the line first since winning at Pontefract in June 2025, though she has placed second twice in those six most recent races — including a run at Pontefract where she was only beaten by Walsingham, a horse that has since proven herself competitive at much higher level, winning at Ascot off a mark of 81. Bethell has been managing a history of bleeding issues, which explains why the horse spent time on the easy list recently, but she raced just a day ago, which suggests the yard still has confidence she can get back to winning ways. Bethell describes her as her "dark horse" — which in stable speak usually means a horse with real potential that hasn't yet had the chance to show it consistently. For a horse with Style of Life's record, that's a good sign.
