The recent form makes for interesting reading. A second place in its most recent completed finish, followed by a third, hints that Deise Crystal may be finding its best level after a mixed spell that included a sixth. It raced just one day ago, so this is a horse very much in the middle of its campaign rather than one being dusted off after a long break.
Based out of Conna in County Cork, Deise Crystal is trained by Sean Aherne, a yard that has sent out five winners already this season. That's a small but productive operation — five winners suggests Aherne knows how to place a horse and find the right opportunity. The question now is whether he can find that same opportunity for Deise Crystal, because at five years old, with eight races already in the book and no win to show, the window for getting off the mark isn't getting any wider. When that first victory does come, if it comes, it will have been well earned.
