Sea Of Dubka

The first breakthrough came on 17 July at Down Royal, and then the follow-up win at Killarney just days ago shows that was no flash in the pan. Recent form reads 1-1-5-4-3-8 across the last six outings, which tells you this is a horse that places regularly but is also capable of stringing together wins. The fifth-place finish and the eighth are the only real blemishes in that sequence; otherwise it has been consistently competitive, never far away. That's the profile of a horse improving steadily and catching the eye of anyone who watches.

Henry De Bromhead's Knockeen yard is one of the strongest in Ireland, with 110 winners this season, so Sea Of Dubka is in the hands of someone who knows how to develop and place a young horse. The fact that it raced just a day ago and is still actively campaigned suggests the team believes there is more to come from this three-year-old. With two wins from the last six races and genuine form lines building across multiple tracks, Sea Of Dubka looks like one to follow closely over the next few months.
