The recent form figures — 6, 8, 5, 6, 3, 4 reading back from the latest run — tell an interesting story. That third-place finish a few races ago stands out as the best effort of the sequence, a moment where Top Coeur suggested it could mix it with the leaders. Since then, though, the runs have been more modest, and a sixth last time out, just one day ago, means the horse is very much mid-campaign with no signs of peaking yet.
Top Coeur is trained by Christian Williams at his yard on the Glamorgan coast at Ogmore-By-Sea. Williams has been in good form this season, sending out 25 winners — a productive spell that shows the stable knows how to get horses winning. That makes Top Coeur something of an exception in the yard right now, a horse that hasn't quite clicked into gear despite being surrounded by horses that are. Whether Williams can find the right opportunity to unlock a first victory remains the key question. Given how active the horse is — raced as recently as yesterday — it seems clear the team believes there is a win in there somewhere. They just need to find the race where everything falls into place.
