Ms Messi
Ms Messi has been a work in progress for her the yard, with just one win from her 14 races so far, but there are hints of something worth watching for in her record. The 5-year-old broke through at Tipperary back in August 2025 and has shown just enough promise since to suggest she might find her feet again. Her win rate of around 1 in every 14 races tells you she is not a natural at this level, but she has also picked up a pair of places, which means she gets competitive on her day.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Where Ms Messi shows real form is at the longer distances — from a mile and six furlongs up to two miles, she has won 1 of her 6 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 attempts. That is a significant improvement on her overall numbers and points to the kind of ground and distance where she runs her races best. Her trainer Paul W Flynn, based at Colehill in Longford, runs a yard that has sent 22 winners out this season, so there is proper form and experience behind her development.
The question now is whether Ms Messi can rebuild on that win from 13 months ago. Her most recent form, across her last six races, shows a 12th-place finish just a day ago, preceded by a respectable 3rd. That is not the form of a horse about to break through again, but she remains active and in work. If Flynn can catch her on the right day at a longer trip, she may well add to her tally — though at this stage, another win would feel like progress rather than the start of a genuine run.
