Clash of Hearts
Clash of Hearts broke through with a win at Pontefract back in June, but the two-year-old has struggled to recapture that form over the past four months. The colt has raced seven times overall and won just once (a 14% win rate), though it has picked up three places alongside that victory. More worrying is the recent form: a third-place finish three weeks ago was the best it could manage in the last six outings, sandwiched between an eighth and a fifth. That sole win at Pontefract in June now looks like a flash of promise rather than the start of something sustained.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Adrian Keatley's Ryedale yard has sent out 43 winners this season, so there is clearly plenty of skill in the operation, but Clash of Hearts hasn't found its way into that winners' circle since early summer. The horse is still active and racing regularly, which is the right approach at this age — experience matters more than results right now. Still, the gap between that June success and the current form suggests there is work to do before this two-year-old becomes a consistent winner.
