Hand of God
Hand of God is a 5-year-old that has carved out a solid record in some of Britain's best races. With 4 wins from 12 starts, he has won roughly one in every three races he runs in — a respectable return that speaks to genuine class. What makes him interesting is where those wins have come: he has taken two Class 2 races, the sort of contests that separate reliable horses from also-rans. A Class 2 win at Ascot in June 2024 and another at Sandown Park in April that same year showed he could compete at a high level. His first career victory came at Newmarket in October 2023, and he has added a fourth win more recently at Newbury in May this year.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
At Class 2 level specifically, his record is particularly strong. He has won 2 of his last 5 races at that standard, a 40 per cent win rate that suggests he is pitched at roughly the right level. His form over his last six races reads 10-2-1-7-14-6, a mixed picture — a win and two placings in his last three outings show he remains capable of running well, though he is not on an unstoppable streak. He raced just yesterday, which means he is in active work and ready to run again soon. Trained by Harry Charlton at Beckhampton in Wiltshire, Hand of God is part of a yard that has already sent out 38 winners this season, a sign of a stable with momentum and good form. For a 5-year-old, he has the experience and proven ability at top level to suggest there could be more wins to come, though his recent form hints that consistency remains a work in progress.
