With Nolimit

The career has moved quickly. A first win came at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day 2026, and Gordon Elliott was already thinking big picture afterwards, describing him as a nice, big galloper and hinting that something graded — one of the top-tier races — might be on the cards rather than rushing him through a busy schedule. That kind of patience from a trainer usually means they think they have something worth protecting. Elliott's yard has been in extraordinary form this season, sending out 209 winners, so when a horse catches the eye there, it tends to mean something.

The most recent run tells the most interesting story. With Nolimit won at Punchestown just this week — and Punchestown in late April is not a quiet midweek card. It is one of the festival meetings that matters in Irish racing, and winning there puts a horse in a different conversation entirely. The recent form reading — a win, then a ninth, then a second, then a win — shows a horse that has had one flat day but has otherwise been knocking on the door consistently.

Elliott's early assessment from last autumn described him as a fine, big horse who had already won a point-to-point — a cross-country test that acts as a proving ground for young jumpers — which means this is not a horse learning its trade from scratch. There is already foundation there. With two wins banked, a Punchestown success this week, and a trainer clearly thinking about graded company, With Nolimit looks like a horse whose story is only just getting started.
