Daboya
There is a horse running in top form right now, and its name is Daboya. The five-year-old has built a career record of 5 wins and 6 places from 21 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 4, which is a genuinely solid return at this level. But it is the recent form that really catches the eye: three wins from the last six races, with the sequence reading 1-1-5-5-13-1 from most recent backwards. That means after a rough patch in the middle, Daboya has come roaring back with back-to-back wins at either end of that run.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The most recent of those victories came at Tramore just this week, on 7 July 2026 — which tells you everything about where this horse is right now. Daboya raced just one day ago and is very much in the thick of things. The career started with a first win at Dundalk back in November 2024, and since then the horse has steadily added to its tally, now sitting on five career wins in total. That kind of progression over the course of a season and a half suggests a horse that has found its feet and knows what it is doing.
Daboya is trained by R Donohoe, a yard that has sent out 6 winners already this season — a respectable haul that suggests the operation is ticking along nicely. When a trainer is in that kind of form and the horse itself is coming off a win just days ago, it tends to mean something. Daboya is not a horse drifting through the calendar — this is one hitting a purple patch at exactly the right time, and well worth keeping an eye on over the weeks ahead.
