The recent form tells a mixed story. Two second-place finishes are tucked in among some disappointing efforts — a string of fifth, tenth, tenth, and seventh placings — and the horse hasn't won in any of its last six races. Its most regular partner, jockey Aiden Brookes, has been aboard five times without a win between them, which suggests this isn't simply a matter of finding the right rider. The combination hasn't clicked yet, and it's hard to argue the chemistry is building.
Token Love typically lines up in Class 5 races — the bread-and-butter level of British racing, where the competition is modest and wins are genuinely there to be taken. Going winless in four races at that level is a concern, because if a horse can't break through at the easier end of the scale, the path to a first victory starts to look longer. The two places do at least suggest Token Love isn't disgracing itself, but placing and winning are very different things in racing terms.
The yard behind the horse — trained by Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero out of Oldcastle in Cheshire — is having a productive season with 43 winners sent out, so it isn't a case of a struggling operation. They clearly know how to get horses winning, which makes Token Love something of an outlier in the team's overall picture. The horse has had a break of 89 days since its last race, which could be a chance to reset and come back fresh. Patience is clearly still the order of the day.
