Perth is his hunting ground. The Last Cloud has won three of his five races there, a 60 per cent win rate that is genuinely unusual for any horse at any track. His last victory came on 8 September 2025, which means he has not won in thirteen months, but that long drought does not erase what he has shown at that Scottish course. He also thrives on normal ground conditions—winning three from six races (50 per cent)—and steps up noticeably when competing at Class 4 level, where he has also won half his races. The pattern is clear: get him to Perth on a standard surface in the right grade, and he becomes a different proposition.
Brian Hughes, his regular jockey, has ridden him seven times and won three, a 43 per cent win rate that towers above the horse's overall record. That suggests the partnership works. Hughes knows how to get the best from The Last Cloud, and their form together speaks louder than the bare statistics.
Patrick Neville's Coverham yard has been busy this season, sending out twenty-eight winners, and The Last Cloud sits within a productive operation. His recent form is patchy—he has had six consecutive races without a win, with a mix of minor placings and one fourth—but he raced just yesterday, so he remains active and available. For a horse without obvious superlatives, The Last Cloud has a useful niche: back him at Perth on decent ground with Hughes in the saddle, and the odds might surprise you.
