War And Love
War And Love is a 4-year-old that has found the winner's circle elusive so far, with nine races and no victories, though four placings suggest there is genuine racing ability underneath. The horse has picked up three fourth-place finishes and a third in its most recent six outings, keeping it competitive without quite getting over the line. Most recently, it ran nine races ago—so it is back in action after a break, which sometimes sparks improvement.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Brian Ellison at Norton in North Yorkshire, War And Love is part of a yard in good form this season, having already sent out 43 winners. Ellison is known for patience with his horses, and War And Love's record of consistent placings suggests the trainer believes there is more to come. The challenge has been at Class 5 level, where the horse has managed zero wins from three attempts—the toughest races it has tackled so far. It seems more suited to racing lower down the card, where recent form shows it can at least pick up placings. With another race behind it now, War And Love remains actively campaigned, and Ellison will be hoping a slight drop in class or softer ground might unlock that first win.
