Porcupine Bank
Porcupine Bank is a 4-year-old with the kind of form that keeps things interesting. Two wins from five races is a genuinely solid win rate—the horse wins roughly two out of every five times it runs—and its consistency across recent outings suggests it knows how to perform when it matters. After winning at Punchestown in mid-May and following that up with a victory at Ballinrobe just two weeks later, Porcupine Bank has become something of a fixture in the winner's enclosure for
Gordon Elliott's powerful Longwood yard.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's preference for normal ground is worth noting. On standard conditions, Porcupine Bank wins two out of every three races, which is the kind of stat that makes a trainer pay attention when planning entries. Over the last month, it has shown real consistency: two wins, two places, and one third-place finish. That kind of reliability—mixing victories with respectable performances—suggests a horse that is dependable rather than erratic.
Elliott's Longwood yard has been exceptional this season with 210 winners, so Porcupine Bank sits within an operation that knows how to prepare horses and pick the right races. Having raced just a day ago, the horse remains active in the game, which means the yard are clearly confident it still has something to prove. At four years old, with a win rate of two in five, Porcupine Bank is still climbing, not declining.
