Trained by James Fanshawe at Newmarket, Love Beach is part of a yard that has been in excellent form this season, sending out 45 winners. Fanshawe is one of the more respected names on the training circuit, and a stable firing at that kind of volume tends to place horses in races where they have a genuine chance — so when Love Beach lines up, it is worth paying attention.
The recent form tells an encouraging story. After a couple of mid-pack finishes — sixth and fifth — Love Beach has rattled off back-to-back third places and then two wins in the last six races. The most recent of those came at Nottingham just this week, which means this horse is racing in the form of its life right now. The first career win came at Haydock Park in May 2025, so it has taken a little time to figure things out, but the current sequence suggests something has clicked.
One detail that stands out is how well Love Beach performs on normal ground — winning 2 of just 3 races in those conditions, which works out to a remarkable 67% win rate. That is not a small sample coincidence; that is a horse that clearly has a preference and delivers when it gets what it wants. the yard will be hoping the ground stays fair heading into its next run.
At Class 4 level — which sits in the middle of the racing ladder, below the big prestige races but still competitive — Love Beach has won 1 from 4, or 25% of its races at that grade. That is a perfectly respectable return, though it will be interesting to see whether the team tries to step this horse up in class on the back of its recent winning run. With two wins in the last six races and a victory just days ago, the timing would certainly make sense.
