The recent form is a mixed picture. A run of two consecutive runner-up finishes a little way back suggested the penny might be dropping, but since then Eichan San has finished fourth, nineteenth, seventh, and fourth again. That nineteenth-place effort stands out as a rough day at the office, though the returns either side of it show this is not a horse that has simply stopped trying. Racing just one day ago, it is clearly an active campaigner, and there may be more chapters still to come.
Eichan San is trained at the Curragh in Co Kildare by Daniel James Murphy, a yard that has sent out 19 winners so far this season — so the team clearly knows how to get horses winning. The fact that Eichan San remains a maiden in their care is not a reflection on the operation, more a sign that this particular horse has not yet found the right moment or the right race to show its best. Whether that moment arrives is the question worth watching.
