Whatsavailable

Trained by M F Morris out of Fethard in County Tipperary, Whatsavailable first announced its affection for Fairyhouse with a win there in April 2022, and came back to score again most recently in November 2024. The yard has sent out 4 winners this season, suggesting things are ticking over, and the horse's most regular partner Darragh O'Keeffe has been the rider for all three victories. Together they win roughly 1 in every 7 races — 3 from 21 — which is a meaningful relationship in a sport where continuity between horse and jockey genuinely matters.

Add a soft surface into the mix and the numbers get even more interesting. On wet or muddy ground, Whatsavailable wins 2 from 8 races — 25%, or roughly 1 in every 4. That is a dramatically better return than its overall rate of 1 win in every 12 races across the full career, and it suggests a horse that needs conditions to come together in a specific way before it really fires.

The honest version of the current picture is that Whatsavailable has not won in six races, and the recent form — finishing sixth, then 13th, 12th, 10th, and third before a non-completion last time — does not make for cheerful reading. Raced just yesterday, the horse is clearly still in active campaign, and Morris and O'Keeffe will know better than anyone that the formula for getting the best out of this horse is well established. Fairyhouse, soft ground, and patience. On any other combination, you might look elsewhere. But when those three things align, Whatsavailable has a habit of making people take notice.
