Song Of The Clouds

Being trained by William Haggas at Newmarket puts Song Of The Clouds in seriously good company. Haggas's yard has sent out 170 winners already this season, which tells you everything about the operation — this is one of the sharpest training setups in the country, and horses that come through it tend to be well-prepared and well-placed. For a young horse to be sitting in that stable with a win already on the board is a promising sign.

Two races is too small a sample to draw firm conclusions, but the pattern so far — win, then place — suggests a horse finding its feet at a high level rather than one that struck lucky once and faded. With a team like Haggas's behind it, Song Of The Clouds looks like a name worth keeping an eye on.
