Isle Of Lismore

The most interesting detail about this horse is his preference for normal ground conditions. On standard, dry ground, he has won three of his fourteen races—a win rate of around one in five—which is significantly better than his overall record and hints at a real point of vulnerability for his rivals when conditions suit him. At his home track of Newmarket, he has two wins from ten races, making him a minor course specialist worth noting if you are backing him there on the right ground.

Recently, Isle of Lismore has been in and out of form. His last six races show a third-place finish, followed by a win two months ago at Ffos Las on June 23, 2026, then a fourth, a fifth, a third, and an eighth-place run just yesterday. That eighth place is a reminder that he is not a reliable weekly winner—days like that are as much a part of his profile as his better efforts. He has been ridden most often by jockey Hayley Turner, and together they have won once from six races. Trained by Robert Cowell at Newmarket, Isle of Lismore represents a solid, working horse in a yard that has sent out twenty-four winners this season. He is the kind of horse that punters know by sight if they follow moderate-level racing regularly, and the kind that occasionally delivers a pleasing surprise when the conditions and the company align.
