Eniac

The recent form figures — 3, 9, 4, 5, 3, 9 — paint a picture of inconsistency. Those two third-place finishes show there is ability in there, but the 9s at either end of the sequence are a reminder that Eniac can disappoint just as easily as it can threaten. For a horse still without a win, that kind of variation makes it difficult to know exactly what to expect next time out.

What works in Eniac's favour is the yard it calls home. Donnacha Aidan O'Brien trains out of Ballyroe in County Tipperary and has already sent out 33 winners this season — that is a busy, successful operation, and horses from yards like this tend to be placed in races where they have a genuine chance. The fact that Eniac raced just one day ago suggests the team is keeping it active and looking for the right opportunity to get that first win on the board. Sometimes horses like this just need one race to click into place.
