The recent form tells an encouraging story. In its last six races, Driveonwill has won twice, come second once, and been placed once — a genuine run of form. The most recent victory came just three weeks ago, on 31 August at Downpatrick, which suggests the horse is still firing and hasn't gone stale. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan, based in Kilcullen, Co Kildare, is having a solid season with 40 winners already, and Donagh Meyler has been the most regular pilot, though the pair have only clicked once from seven outings together. That might simply mean Meyler and the horse haven't found their rhythm yet, or it could be that the horse runs better for a different jockey — details worth tracking.
At six years old, Driveonwill is in the prime years of a horse's racing life, and with form like this and a clear affinity for Downpatrick, there is real reason to think it could add to its tally there before long. The key will be catching it when it runs back at the track where it genuinely belongs.
