Love Sonnet

The shape of the recent form tells an interesting story. In the last six runs, Love Sonnet has finished second, first, first, unplaced, fourth, and ninth. That's two wins buried in there, which keeps the horse sharp and in the conversation. James Davies, the regular rider, has won on Love Sonnet twice from five races together — a 40% win rate — suggesting a genuine partnership that works. Tim Vaughan's yard at Aberthin has been firing on all cylinders this season with nine winners, and Love Sonnet fits the profile of a horse the trainer knows how to get the best from.

The career began promisingly with a first win at Killarney on 13 May 2025, and the horse has found the winner's enclosure regularly since. In the higher-class races — Class 4 — Love Sonnet has won once from three attempts. That suggests the horse is at home at a decent level without being out of its depth. This is not a sprint star or a champion in the making, but it is a genuinely honest performer with the kind of consistent form that makes it a valuable member of any stable.
