Charm Of Venice

That sole win came at Down Royal on 20 June 2026, just this week, which makes this a horse very much in the middle of its story. The recent form of 1-5-9 tells you this isn't a smooth, linear rise — there have been wobbles — but the fact that the most recent run ended in a win suggests the yard has found something that works.

Behind Charm Of Venice is trainer A Oliver, operating out of Caledon in County Tyrone. With 18 winners already on the board this season, this is a stable in fine fettle — not a small operation finding its way, but a yard that clearly knows how to get a horse ready to perform. When a trainer in that kind of form sends a young horse out and it wins, it tends to be for a reason.

Three races is a small sample, but it is enough to establish that Charm Of Venice belongs on a racecourse and belongs in the winner's enclosure. The next few runs will tell us whether Down Royal was the beginning of something or just a bright moment. Either way, this is a horse worth keeping an eye on.
