Duckadilly

The partnership with jockey Ben Coen hasn't yielded a winner yet—zero wins from five rides together—so there may be a tactical angle worth exploring there. Duckadilly's last victory came at Leopardstown on 9 July, now two months behind it, which suggests the horse has hit a patch where the form has dipped slightly despite remaining active. Its trainer, Daniel McLoughlin, runs a small but productive yard from Newbridge in County Kildare and has sent out 9 winners already this season, so there's no shortage of experience in the stable. The fact that Duckadilly won its first race at Naas back in May 2024 and has managed three more wins since shows it's capable of better days, but those victories seem to come in bursts rather than as part of a steady climb. At five years old, the horse is entering an age where consistency becomes more important than potential, and right now that's where Duckadilly falls short.
