Belladaball
Belladaball is a five-year-old who knows how to find the winner's circle, though she has learned to do it only when it matters. With two wins from eight races, she wins roughly once in every four outings—a respectable win rate in an honest division. What makes her recent form genuinely encouraging is that she has won two of her last six races, including a victory at Sligo seven weeks ago. That track clearly suits her, and her most recent run just a day ago suggests she is still sharp and being aimed at something.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Gavin Cromwell, her trainer at Navan, runs one of Ireland's busiest yards. The operation has sent out 96 winners already this season, which speaks to the quality of horsemanship on the gallops. Belladaball's form curve—a placed effort last time out, a fourth before that, then a win at Sligo—reads like a horse who responds to the right race at the right track. Her first win came at Fairyhouse in April 2026, and she has since added another success, meaning she knows what it takes to cross the line in front. For a horse in her position, that foundation matters: she is not learning how to win, she is learning where to win.
