Nermal
Nermal is a 3-year-old who knows how to find the winner's circle when the distance suits him. His one career victory came at Roscommon seven weeks ago, and while that sounds distant now, the real story is what happened in the races that follow — he has picked up four placings in his last six outings, including three second-place finishes. That kind of consistency suggests a horse that is learning, settling into his races, and coming close to breaking through again.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The key to Nermal's prospects is distance. At races between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs, he has won 1 of his 3 starts — a 33% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record of 1 from 7. Those extra few furlongs seem to suit his running style in a way shorter tracks do not. Andrew Slattery's yard at Thurles has been firing this season with 62 winners to their name, and they will be plotting a route back to similar ground where Nermal has shown he belongs. With two second places and one third from his last six races, he is knocking on the door hard. Another run at the right track and over the right distance could well deliver that second win.
