An Bradan Feasa

The career numbers hold up well. Six wins and 11 places from 24 races means this horse has finished in the top three roughly seven times out of every ten, and has won 1 in every 4 races overall — a solid return at any level. But the most striking figure is what happens when the trip is a proper test of stamina. Over distances of two miles or more, An Bradan Feasa has won 5 of 11 races — nearly one in every two. That's the difference between a decent horse and one that has found its calling. Distance is clearly not a problem; it's an advantage.

The peak moment came on 16 December 2023 at Cheltenham, where the horse won a Class 2 race — the kind of contest that sits near the very top of British racing. Cheltenham has a way of exposing horses who aren't quite ready for the biggest stage, so winning there at any level means something. That win came just three months after the first career victory at Ballinrobe in September 2023, suggesting a horse that found confidence quickly once it got off the mark.

Recent form backs that up. Three wins from the last six races is a sharp sequence — including a win at Chelmsford as recently as November 2025. Trainer Jack Jones, based at Newmarket, has had a productive season with 33 winners sent out from the yard, and An Bradan Feasa has been part of that momentum. Tom Bellamy takes the ride most often, though their partnership — one win from seven races together — leaves a little room for improvement on paper.

Typically running in Class 4 company, where the horse has won 2 of 7 races, there's a case to be made that An Bradan Feasa is capable of taking on better. The Cheltenham win already proved it can rise to the occasion. The question now is whether the team decides to test that ceiling again.
