Kashala

That single run means there is almost nothing to draw on in terms of a track record, but the stable behind her is worth paying attention to. Trainer D K Weld operates out of Curragh in County Kildare, one of the most respected addresses in Irish racing, and has already sent out 29 winners this season alone. When a yard is firing at that kind of volume, the horses coming through it tend to be given every chance to develop properly. A fourth-place finish on debut, for a horse from a stable of this quality, is often less a disappointment and more a quiet introduction — the first page of what could be a much longer story.
