Clouds Hill
Clouds Hill is a 4-year-old with a respectable record of two wins from eleven races, though the horse has hit a lean patch in recent months. The wins came at Newcastle in November 2025 and Great Yarmouth the following April, but five months have now passed without another victory. Recent form has been patchy — a third-place finish last time out was the best result in the last six runs, with the horse mostly finishing outside the places and struggling to recapture the form that brought success earlier in the year.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs best over distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs, winning one race from three attempts at that range. That 33 percent win rate at those distances suggests Clouds Hill has a clear preference, and the trainer Charlie Johnston — who runs the Middleham Moor yard in North Yorkshire and has sent out 131 winners this season — will likely be plotting a return to similar ground and distances as the horse seeks to end its recent drought. At the moment, Clouds Hill has won roughly 1 in every 5.5 races across its career, and with no wins in half a year, getting back to the track where it finished third just a week ago could be the start of a turnaround.
