Believe Believe
Five races, zero wins, zero places — Believe Believe has yet to give the yard anything to cheer about, and the recent form figures of 8-10-9-6-13 tell a story of a young horse that has consistently finished well down the field. That finishing position of 13 in its most recent outing was the low point of the lot, and after that run the decision was made to give the horse a break. It has now been off the track for around five months, which is a significant absence for a two-year-old.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Jamie Powell has been in the saddle for all five races and has yet to conjure a win or even a placed finish from the partnership, though it would be unfair to lay this at any one door — the horse simply hasn't found a way to compete at the sharp end yet. Trainer M D O'Callaghan operates out of The Curragh in County Kildare, one of the heartlands of Irish racing, and the yard has sent out 22 winners this season, so the training operation clearly knows what it is doing. Whether Believe Believe can tap into that form is the question.
The five-month break is probably the most interesting thing to focus on heading into whatever comes next. Young horses can change a great deal physically during a layoff, and a trainer with a productive season behind them will not have kept this horse ticking over without some reason for optimism. Whether that confidence is justified, Believe Believe will need to show something very different from what it has managed so far.
