Lovers Leap
Lovers Leap has won once in eight races, which tells you this is a horse still looking to prove itself. The 3-year-old broke its duck at Beverley in May with a win over 7 furlongs, and that distance—anywhere between 7 furlongs and a mile—is where it runs best. Over that range, it has won 1 of 4 races, a quarter of the time, which is solid form for a horse at this level. But the gap since that victory at Beverley four months ago is troubling. Lovers Leap has raced five times since and managed only one place finish, a third-place effort in the most recent outing just yesterday. The form has dipped noticeably: three, two, three, sixth, then first, then third again. That's not the pattern of a horse building momentum.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Jane Chapple-Hyam's yard at Dalham in Suffolk has been firing this season with 24 winners already, so Lovers Leap is in a stable where horses are being readied to run well. But this particular three-year-old needs to rediscover the spark that won at Beverley. With just one win from eight attempts—a 12 percent win rate—it sits firmly in the lower tier of racehorses, the kind that might occasionally catch a race but won't frighten the serious contenders. The good news is youth is on its side. At three, it still has time to find its level and perhaps string together a run of form. For now, though, Lovers Leap remains a work in progress.
