Ballybunion
Ballybunion is a three-year-old still searching for a breakthrough after seven races without a win. The horse has shown some promise — it has finished in the places three times, most recently with a second and another second in its last two outings — but converting that consistency into a victory remains the puzzle. With no wins from seven attempts, Ballybunion sits at zero per cent in the win column, yet the recent form suggests it is competitive enough to trouble the judge on the right day.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Michael Bell's Newmarket yard has been firing this season with 44 winners already sent out, so there is no shortage of expertise in the corner. The consistency of second-place finishes in the last pair of races — after a run of mid-field efforts before that — hints that the horse may be settling into a rhythm and finding its level. At three years old, Ballybunion still has time to mature and break through, and a yard with Bell's record will keep looking for the opening. The horse raced just a day ago and is clearly active and in regular competition, which suggests the yard believe a win is not far away.
