Drumgill

His last victory came at Fairyhouse on 29 November 2025, which means it has been nine months since he crossed the line first. That's a long dry spell. His last six races tell the story: a pair of thirds bookended by fourths, with one unplaced run in between — the kind of form that suggests he is still trying hard but finds himself just short. That said, he was out again just yesterday, which means the yard clearly believes there is still more to come.

John Patrick Ryan's operation at Templemore has sent out 21 winners this season, and Drumgill sits comfortably within that winning culture. More telling is his partnership with Daniel King: together they have won three races from 16 outings, a rate of 19 percent — noticeably better than his overall figures. That suggests the jockey understands how to get the best out of him. The real edge, though, comes on soft ground, where Drumgill has won two races from just five attempts, a 40 percent win rate that stands out dramatically against his typical form. Even more striking is his affection for Ballinrobe, where he has won three times from six races. That is his track, the one place where he seems to have figured something out that other courses have not. With another race likely coming soon, finding him on a soft day at Ballinrobe would be the time to pay close attention.
