Dee Capo

Dee Capo got off the mark at Galway back in October 2023, and the most recent win came at Punchestown in November 2025 — four months ago now, which means this is a horse with a demonstrated ability to get its head back in front at a decent level. Gordon Elliott trains the yard from Longwood in Co Meath, and this season his operation has sent out 209 winners, making it one of the most productive stables in the game. Having a horse like Dee Capo in that environment — experienced, well-resourced, clearly understood — is a real advantage.

The regular partnership with Danny Gilligan tells an interesting story. Together they have won 1 from 6 races, which works out to roughly 1 in 6 — not a barnstorming record on paper, but Gilligan clearly knows this horse well and keeps getting the call. The most recent form figures — finishing 14th, 14th, then 4th before that Punchestown win — show a horse that can disappear from a race completely before clicking back into gear. That last win was only four months ago and the horse has raced as recently as 22 days back, so Dee Capo is fit, active, and clearly being aimed at something. Watch the weather forecast. If rain is on the way, this is exactly the kind of horse that becomes a great deal more interesting.
