Duhallow Tommy

At 8 years old, Duhallow Tommy is an experienced campaigner who has been around the block. His career kicked off with a first win at Fontwell Park back in January 2023, and he has been a consistent presence in the sport ever since — placing 13 times in 23 races, which means he has finished in the money more often than not, even when the win hasn't come. His most recent victory arrived at Southwell in February 2026, just eight weeks ago, so he is in form and very much an active player this season.

His recent run of results reads 3-1-4-4-6-3 — a second place in there, a couple of thirds, and some runs where he hasn't quite fired. That mixture is fairly typical of a horse operating at Class 3, which is a solid mid-tier level in British racing. Notably, he has run 8 times at that level without winning — 0 from 8 — which suggests he finds life toughest when the standard is raised. He tends to hit the frame, but the top spot eludes him when the opposition steps up.

Kevin Brogan is his most regular partner in the saddle, riding him in 11 of his 23 races, but that combination has only clicked for 1 win together — roughly 1 in 11. It's not an alarming number, but it hints that Duhallow Tommy needs things to fall right rather than being the type who can be forced into a result. Trainer Toby Lawes, based in Beare Green in Surrey, has had 9 winners out of his yard this season, which suggests a stable in decent nick. Whether Duhallow Tommy can add another — ideally back at Plumpton — is the most interesting question hanging over his next appearance.
