Don Jefe
Don Jefe has won just once in five races, but that victory came at Fairyhouse back in February and the horse has shown enough consistency to suggest there is more to come. Now five years old and still active, he has picked up two places alongside that single win, giving him a record that speaks to a horse capable of running well on his day even if results have been thin on the ground.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The real concern is the time since that last win. Seven months is a long drought, and looking at his recent form tells you why—fourth, fourth again, first (that February victory), fifth, and thirteenth. A string of mid-field efforts broken by that one success is the profile of a horse searching for his level. But Gerard O'Leary's yard in Kildare has been sending winners out regularly this season, and that kind of support matters. Don Jefe will need to rediscover the form that brought him home at Fairyhouse if he is to justify another trip to the track, but at five years old with racing experience under his belt, there is still time for improvement.
