Across six races to date, Huff'n'puff has managed just one win and two places, a win rate of roughly 1 in 6 races. The Roscommon victory remains the high point, but the horse has hit the frame with a couple of other efforts, which at least suggests it's learning its trade. Being trained by Henry de Bromhead, one of Ireland's leading yards with 110 winners sent out this season alone, means the horse has every chance to improve. De Bromhead doesn't lack for talent or know-how, so there's no excuse on that front.
What matters now is whether Huff'n'puff can string together some consistent form. At three years old, there's time, but the recent running line — that mess of fourths, fifths, and sixes — suggests this is a horse that needs to find its feet. Still, it's active and racing regularly, which is what you want at this age. The next few weeks will tell whether May's win was a genuine breakthrough or just a flash in the pan.
