Kind Touch
Kind Touch is a 3-year-old still hunting for a second victory after breaking its duck at Ripon on 26 August 2025. That win now sits 13 months in the past—a long drought for a horse that has shown enough ability to finish in the money in five other races. With one win from seven outings, the horse wins roughly 1 in every 7 races, but the recent form tells a more troubling story: a second-place finish just last time out shows it can get close, yet a sequence of placings without success (2-2-4-7-3-2 across the last six runs) suggests the winning formula has become harder to find.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The Fahey yard at Musley Bank is in decent form this season with 23 winners already on the board, so the team behind Kind Touch clearly knows how to get horses to the line. That makes the lack of a second win all the more intriguing—it speaks to a horse that may be operating just at the edge of its ability, competitive enough to pick up places regularly but perhaps not quite sharp enough to turn those near-misses into victories. At only 3 years old, there is time for improvement, and the fact that Kind Touch is still racing actively suggests the yard has not given up on finding that elusive second win.
