Priory Park

The most recent win came at Ballinrobe in September 2025, about seven months ago, and that represents the clearest peak in recent form. Before that, the last six runs paint a mixed picture — a winning effort followed by a fifth, then a distant twelfth, then a fourth, and two blank runs after that. That twelfth-place finish is the sort of result that makes you wonder whether the horse hit a rough patch, but the Ballinrobe win shows there is still something there on the right day. The first career win came at Thurles back in November 2021, which is a small but neat detail — trainer Edward F Power is based right there in Thurles, so that first success had a genuine home feel to it.

Power's yard at Ballycahill has sent out 5 winners already this season, which suggests an operation in decent form. Regular rider Mr Eoin Staples has been aboard for 5 of Priory Park's races together, winning 1 of them — that's a 20% win rate in their partnership, which is actually above the horse's overall average and hints that when the combination clicks, it is worth paying attention. Priory Park may never be the headline act at a big meeting, but for a small yard, a dependable horse that keeps finding its way to the track and occasionally delivers — most recently just seven months ago — is exactly the kind of animal that keeps the whole thing ticking.
