Angel Of Anfield
Angel Of Anfield is a three-year-old with a tricky record that masks genuine potential. The horse has won just one of his eight races, but trainer
Tom Clover's recent comments suggest he has finally worked out what this animal needs: more room to run. That sole victory came at Windsor in August 2024, but the horse has shown enough in defeat to keep Clover believing in him. A fifth-place finish at Ascot behind a strong field convinced the trainer that Angel Of Anfield is capable of better once given the right conditions and distance.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The clue lies in Clover's insistence that the horse "wants 6 furlongs at least" — a longer sprint that should suit his temperament better. Four of Angel Of Anfield's last six races have produced places rather than wins, suggesting he is competitive at a decent level but has been running over distances that work against him. With jockey Rossa Ryan impressed enough to want to ride him again, there is clearly something the top horsemen can see here. Based at Clover's Newmarket yard, which has sent out 23 winners already this season, Angel Of Anfield remains a horse in work and racing actively, giving the trainer multiple chances to get him into a race that brings out his best. At three years old, there is still time for him to find his groove.
