Recobella

Recobella, a five-year-old trained by Philip Kirby at East Appleton in North Yorkshire, is a horse that knows exactly the conditions it prefers and capitalizes on them ruthlessly. On normal ground, this horse is a different proposition entirely — it has won 3 of 6 races (50%) when the track sits just right, compared to a much more modest record elsewhere. That distinction matters hugely. Many horses are inconsistent across different track conditions, but Recobella has found something close to a formula, and Kirby's yard clearly understands how to get the best out of it.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The recent form is encouraging. Recobella won twice in its last six races, most recently this week at Thirsk on 14 August, and that victory came after taking the prize at the same track almost a year earlier. The horse is clearly building momentum, with two wins and two second places from the last six runs — a sequence that suggests it is finding its rhythm. Overall, Recobella has won 3 of 12 races (25%) with a further 7 placings, which is a solid record for a horse competing at this level and age. It made a breakthrough in July 2025 with its first career win at Nottingham, and has kept on improving since.

Most of Recobella's racing happens in Class 6, where it has won once from four attempts. The yard is in excellent form this season with 36 winners already sent out, so Kirby knows how to get horses competitive when it matters. For a five-year-old that is still improving and thriving on the type of ground it loves, Recobella remains one to keep an eye on.
