The recent form, however, makes for tougher reading. Looking at the last six runs, Acheron has finished ninth, second, fifteenth, thirteenth, and twelfth in its five completed efforts — a second place sandwiched between some pretty distant finishes. That kind of inconsistency is the tricky part: you can see the ability is there on its day, but reproducing it with any regularity has been the challenge. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the thick of its campaign right now.
Acheron is trained by John Joseph Hanlon, based in Bagenalstown, County Carlow. The yard has sent out 11 winners already this season, which shows there is no shortage of form horses in the stable. Getting Acheron to replicate the level of its best efforts — that second-place finish stands out as proof it can compete — will be the task at hand.
