Nad Alshiba Green

The most striking number on its record is what happens when the ground is normal — not muddy, not rock hard, just a standard racing surface. In those conditions, Nad Alshiba Green has won 3 from 6 races, a 50% win rate that would turn heads in any yard. Most horses at this level win roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races on their best surface. Winning half the time is exceptional, and it tells you this horse has a very specific sweet spot: get it on normal ground, and it becomes a different animal.

The wins have come in the right order, too. First victory arrived at Bath in July 2024, and the most recent came at Nottingham on 1 June 2025 — a gap of nearly 11 months to its last win, which will concern anyone watching closely. The last six races read 3-2-10-6-10-2, which is a mixed picture: a couple of solid placed efforts bookending some disappointing double-digit finishes. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is very much still in training and still being tested.

Nad Alshiba Green runs mainly at Class 4 level — the mid-tier of British racing, a step below the big occasions but competitive enough that winning takes real ability. At that level, it has won 2 from 5 races, which is a healthy 40% win rate and suggests it belongs there rather than being outclassed or coasting.

The whole operation sits with trainer Clive Cox at Lambourn in Berkshire, one of Britain's best-known training villages. Cox's yard has sent out 47 winners already this season — that is a busy, successful operation — and a horse like Nad Alshiba Green will be well looked after within it. The question now is whether the ground cooperates and whether the form that produced that Nottingham win can resurface. The raw talent is clearly there. The horse just needs things to fall right again.
