City Of Memphis

That sole win came at Cork in May 2025, and at four years old, City Of Memphis is still very much at the beginning of its story. What makes the next chapter interesting is the gap — this horse hasn't raced in roughly ten months, which is a significant absence. A long break can mean all sorts of things behind the scenes, but what matters now is how it returns. Horses that showed ability before a break often come back sharper, and City Of Memphis has already proven it knows how to win.

The yard behind it gives plenty of reason for confidence. Trainer P Twomey, based in Cashel, County Tipperary, has sent out 41 winners already this season — that's a stable in seriously good form, not one that sends horses out just to make up the numbers. When a trainer in that kind of rhythm puts a horse back on a racecourse after a long layoff, it tends to mean they like what they've been seeing at home.
