The recent form figures tell a story of a horse that has gone looking for a repeat ever since. Reading from most recent to oldest — 8, 5, 4, 3, 6, 1 — you can see the Punchestown win sitting at the end of that sequence like a peak that hasn't been reached again. There have been placed efforts in there, which shows the horse is competitive, but converting those into wins has proved elusive across the 15 months since that January afternoon.
What works in the horse's favour is who is saddling it up. Gordon Elliott's operation at Longwood in County Meath is one of the most powerful yards in Ireland, and this season alone it has sent out 209 winners — a number that puts it in a different league from almost every other training establishment in the country. A horse in that yard is surrounded by expertise and ambition, and Elliott's team has shown time and again that they can find the right opportunity for horses at every level. Forceonmyown raced just one day ago, which means it is fit, active, and clearly being kept busy in the search for that second win.
