Veil Of Clouds
Veil Of Clouds broke through at Lingfield Park this week, notching a first career win after four earlier attempts. The three-year-old, trained by Simon and Ed Crisford at their Newmarket yard, has now won 1 of its 5 races — a modest return so far, but the timing of that breakthrough is encouraging. The horse has been placed three times and looks to be finding its level, with a second-place finish coming just before the winning run last week.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What's interesting about Veil Of Clouds is the recent trajectory. The last five races tell a story of improvement: a fifth, a second, then two more fifths, followed by the win at Lingfield. That win at a track that clearly suits the horse is worth watching. The Crisford yard is firing on all cylinders this season with 78 winners already under their belt, so the stable is clearly in good form. For a three-year-old still learning the game, one win from five races leaves plenty of room to progress — the horse is active and racing regularly, and there's nothing in the record to suggest it has hit a ceiling. Lingfield may well prove a happy hunting ground if the horse returns there.
