Movin And Groovin
Movin And Groovin has found a home at Dundalk. The 4-year-old, trained by
David Marnane at Bansha in County Tipperary, has won both of its races at the all-weather track — first on 10 January 2025 and most recently five weeks ago on 12 July 2026. That's 2 wins from 11 races there, a win rate that stands out sharply against its overall record of 2 wins from 17 races across all tracks. Away from Dundalk, the horse has managed just seven places in six races, which tells you everything about how much it suits that particular surface and setup.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse ran three days ago and finished third, suggesting the team is keeping it active and looking for another opportunity. Recent form has been mixed — a couple of placings in the last six races mixed with some runs further back — but that's not unusual for a horse at this level. What matters is that Movin And Groovin knows how to win at Dundalk, and trainer Marnane's yard, which has sent out 21 winners already this season, clearly thinks there's more to come. On normal ground conditions, the horse has won 2 of 11 races, which again points to its best chance coming at Dundalk when the surface is not too soft or too firm. Rory Cleary, who rides the horse most often, has yet to win aboard it from five attempts — something worth watching as the season continues.
