Next of Kin
Next of Kin is a two-year-old still finding its way, but there is real encouragement in how it has raced recently. The horse has won 1 of its 4 races so far, with an additional 2 places — solid early form for a young runner. Last week it finished fourth, and a week before that it ran seventh, but before those efforts it broke through with a win at Ayr back on 10 August, followed by a third-place finish. That's the kind of pattern you want to see in an early-career horse: a mix of results, but with a breakthrough moment already banked.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The win at Ayr came just over seven weeks ago, so there is a small gap since that success, but the horse has been racing consistently since and is clearly well enough to take on further opportunities. It is trained by William Haggas at Newmarket, a powerful yard that has sent out 170 winners already this season — the kind of operation with the resources and expertise to get the best from a young horse with potential. Haggas will be watching closely for the right race to spark another win, and at a 25 per cent win rate (1 win from 4 races), Next of Kin has shown enough to suggest it is capable of winning again when conditions align.
