The win came at Windsor on 4 August 2025, and it was clearly the moment everything clicked. Clover had been pointing toward exactly this kind of race for months — back in May, after the horse finished fifth at Ascot, he was already talking about a six-furlong trip as the key. That Ascot run had come behind a horse called Wise Approach in what Clover considered a particularly strong race, so the fifth-place finish looked considerably better in context. Jockey Rossa Ryan came away from that ride clearly impressed, which tends to matter — experienced jockeys don't throw compliments around lightly.
What stands out about Clover's assessment is how specific it was. He wasn't hedging. He said the horse was "precocious" and that it was "crying out" for six furlongs, and when Windsor came around at that trip, it delivered. That's a trainer who knows his horse, and knowing your horse — really knowing it — is half the battle at this level.
Clover's yard has sent out 23 winners this season, which gives you a sense of the operation: busy, productive, and clearly not short of ammunition. Angel Of Anfield raced just one day ago and remains active, so this profile is very much mid-story. The recent form reads 10-2-1-2-2-5 — which means a difficult run first, then a win, then a sequence of placed efforts before the latest outing. The overall arc is one of a horse that has found its distance, found its confidence, and is now working out how to turn places into wins more consistently. At three years old, there's plenty of time for that to happen.
