The recent form tells a similarly tough story. Looking back at the last six races, the finishing positions read 19th, 4th, 11th, a non-completion, 5th, and 12th — with the most recent of those coming just yesterday. The fourth and fifth place finishes show there are occasional flickers of ability, but turning those near-misses into a win has proven elusive. A horse that finishes fourth or fifth is competitive to a point, but racing only rewards the first past the post.
Eichan San is trained by Daniel James Murphy at a yard based in Curragh, Co Kildare — one of the heartlands of Irish racing. Murphy's team has sent out 15 winners this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get a horse to the front. The challenge now is finding the right opportunity to get Eichan San there too.
