Blue Mosque

Her recent form tells a revealing story. In her last six races she has twice finished fourth, picked up a couple of placings, won once, but then returned a distant eighteenth just days ago. That last run stands out badly enough to suggest she either had an off day or the ground, opposition, or distance simply didn't suit. Before that she had shown some stability — two fourths bracketing a win at Punchestown on 30 April and a promising second — but the overall picture is one of a horse whose performances fluctuate more than you'd like. Five months have passed since her last victory, which is a long time to wait for a winner.

Noel Meade's yard at Castletown in County Meath is a serious operation; they have sent out forty-two winners already this season, so Blue Mosque sits in a well-run stable. He is most often partnered by Donagh Meyler, though their record together stands at just one win from seven races, suggesting either the pairing doesn't quite click or circumstances have simply not aligned. Blue Mosque first broke her duck at Naas in April 2024, confirming she could win races, but the gap since her last victory suggests she has not recaptured that form recently. She remains active and racing, but at this stage she appears to be a horse that will run in mid-tier contests where occasionally she'll come good — just not often enough to be considered a prospect for bigger things.
