Love Is
Love Is is a two-year-old still finding its feet in the racing world, with just one win under its belt but enough promise to suggest better days lie ahead. The horse broke its duck at Windsor on 4 May, a victory that came early in its career and offered a glimpse of what it might be capable of. Since then, however, things have been tougher. In its last five races, it has managed only one place — a second — alongside a couple of mid-field finishes and a pair of races well down the field.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Richard Hughes at Upper Lambourn, Love Is is part of a yard in outstanding form this season, having already sent out 60 winners. That suggests the horse is learning from a team that knows how to develop young talent. The Windsor win came four months ago, which is a long time without finding the winner's enclosure again. Recent form shows the horse raced just a day ago, so it is still being actively campaigned and given regular opportunities to get back on track. With a win rate of roughly one in every five races (1 win from 5), Love Is remains a work in progress — the sort of youngster that could either develop into something useful or fade into the background depending on how the next few months unfold.
