Kokoluna

That one win came at Nottingham just this week, on 8th April 2026, which makes this a very current profile of a horse on the up. Winning at any level takes talent and a degree of maturity, and Kokoluna has shown she possesses both. Her recent form reads 1-4-2-6 going back through her last four races — a win, a place, another place, and one run where things didn't click. That kind of up-and-down progression is completely normal for a young horse, and if anything the trajectory is pointing in the right direction.

Behind her sits Eve Johnson Houghton, one of the more interesting figures in British training. Based at Blewbury in Oxfordshire, Johnson Houghton has quietly built a yard with serious momentum — 39 winners already this season is a number that puts her firmly among the more productive operations in the country. Trainers running at that kind of rate don't tend to waste their time on horses with no ceiling, so the fact that Kokoluna is active and racing right now says something about how the team views her prospects.

The next few months will tell the story. Kokoluna has the profile of a horse that could develop into something more interesting as the season progresses — young, winning, and trained by someone who clearly knows how to keep a yard firing.
