The 7-year-old got off the mark at Kilbeggan in July 2025, and then went one better with a win at Limerick in November of the same year. That second win came about six months ago, but what makes the current picture interesting is the recent form: reading back through the last six runs, the sequence shows a win, two seconds, and a blank or two in between. That is the profile of a horse in decent nick — not world-beating, but honest, consistent, and clearly still enjoying itself. The fact that it raced just one day ago tells you everything: this is an active, fit horse right in the middle of its season.
The partnership with jockey Tiernan Power Roche is worth noting. They have ridden together five times and won once — a 20% win rate, or 1 win from every 5 races together. That is actually a better return than Doyen Magic's overall record suggests, hinting that the combination suits the horse.
Behind it all is trainer P J Rothwell, operating out of Tinahely in County Wicklow. Rothwell's yard has sent out 35 winners this season alone, which is a serious number — this is not a small operation finding its feet, but a well-run stable with real momentum. A horse in form from a yard in form is always worth paying attention to, and Doyen Magic sits squarely in that category right now.
