The most recent win came at Fairyhouse on 4 April 2026, just four weeks ago, and that result sits neatly at the top of a recent run of form that reads 2-1-2-3-3-1 — meaning Alliteration has finished first or second in four of its last six races. That kind of consistency is genuinely rare. A lot of horses at this level will throw in the odd disappointing run or drift out of contention for weeks at a time. Alliteration simply keeps showing up and keeps finishing close, which is exactly what you want to see if you are following a horse through a season.
The career began with a first win at Galway in October 2025, which set the tone. Galway is one of those tracks with a real atmosphere to it — tight, twisting, and unforgiving of horses that do not travel smoothly through a race. Winning there suggests a horse that is switched on and responsive, not just talented in a straight line.
Behind all of this is J P Dempsey, training out of Carbury in County Kildare. Dempsey's yard has sent out 16 winners already this season, which puts them firmly in the conversation as one of the more productive operations in Ireland right now. The fact that Alliteration raced just yesterday and is clearly being kept busy suggests the team believes it is in good form and worth striking while the iron is hot. When a trainer keeps coming back to a horse this frequently, it usually means they like what they see at home — and the track record is starting to back that confidence up.
