Mix of Clover
Mix of Clover is a 12-year-old who has found his groove in the tougher races but remains a horse worth following when conditions align. Over his career, he has won 4 of his 28 races — a 14 per cent win rate that looks ordinary on paper but masks something more interesting: when he competes in mid-tier Class 4 races, he wins roughly 1 in every 6 attempts, a notably stronger record that suggests he performs best against horses pitched at his level rather than those he cannot live with. His last victory came two months ago at Worcester, where jockey Alex Edwards guided him to success after a tactical decision to drop him back to his preferred distance of two miles. Edwards had ridden Mix of Clover early in his career and noted that the horse ran freely over longer trips, so the trainer
Alastair Ralph's call to shorten the distance proved telling.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse has always been based at Ralph's yard in Bridgnworth, Shropshire, which has enjoyed strong form this season with 25 winners to date. Ralph describes Mix of Clover as a summer campaigner who peaks in the warmer months — he was on a winter break earlier this year but, as Edwards observed after that Worcester win, sometimes just needs the right trip to deliver. The horse has raced 28 times and shows recent form that blends disappointment with occasional flashes: his last six outings read 7-7-1-3-3, with that single victory two months ago his sole success in that span. He raced just a day ago, suggesting he remains active and ready to strike again when the conditions and the distance suit him. For a 12-year-old, Mix of Clover shows no signs of being past his best — he simply needs to be placed where he belongs, and when he is, he can still win.
