Ballymagreehan
Ballymagreehan is a four-year-old who knows how to find the frame but rarely gets his nose in front. With 2 wins from 18 races, he sits on an 11% win rate — roughly 1 success in every 9 outings — though he has been placed in 7 of those races, which suggests he is competitive enough to trouble the judge fairly often. The real picture emerges when you look at where he runs best. Over distances between 1 mile 1 furlong and 1 mile 2 furlongs, Ballymagreehan has won 2 of 10 races (20%), meaning he finds the formula at that trip in one race out of every five. That is markedly better than his overall record, which points to a horse who performs when the conditions and distance align.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His last win came at Gowran Park on 20 May — three months ago now — but his recent form has been patchy. In his last six outings he has finished 14th, 9th, 7th, 1st, and 11th, with one race not run. That 1st was his breakthrough at Dundalk back on 12 July 2025, so he does carry a bit of shine from that victory. Luke McAteer has been his jockey most often, riding him in 8 races for 1 win together, which tracks almost exactly with the horse's overall win rate. Trainer David Marnane, based at Bansha in County Tipperary, has had a decent season with 21 winners sent out from the yard — solid form that suggests the operation knows how to get horses ready. Ballymagreehan raced just yesterday, so he remains active and in work. He is the kind of horse that picks up a race every now and then at the right track and distance, but consistency has not been his hallmark.
