Ammoony

That sole win came at Redcar just this week, on 18 May 2026, and what makes it particularly encouraging is the trajectory behind it. Read the recent form from back to front — a fifth, a fourth, two seconds, and then a win — and you can see a horse that has been getting better with each run, steadily climbing the placings until it finally got its head in front. That is exactly the kind of progression a trainer wants to see.

The trainer in question is Tom Clover, who operates out of Newmarket in Suffolk — arguably the most competitive training centre in Britain, where standards are high and mediocre horses do not last long. Clover's yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 23 winners already, and Ammoony's Redcar victory adds to a stable clearly operating with confidence. When a horse wins for a yard in this kind of form, it tends to suggest the team had it in good shape heading to the track — this was not a lucky fluke.

At just three years old and with only five races under its belt, Ammoony is still very much a work in progress. But a win rate of 1 in 5, combined with the upward curve in its recent results, suggests there could be more wins to come before the season is out. One to watch.
