Kazakh d'Arthel

That one win came at Cork on 12 October 2025, and given how long it had taken to arrive, it would have been warmly celebrated back at the yard in Navan. Gavin Cromwell, who trains Kazakh d'Arthel, is having a serious season — 96 winners sent out so far puts his operation firmly among the busier and more successful yards in Ireland. When a trainer of that calibre keeps running a horse, it usually means they see something worth persisting with, even if the results haven't always shown it.

The recent form makes for mixed reading. A win four runs back, then a fourth, then a blank — likely a non-completion — followed by a tenth and an eighth. That's a horse that won and then found things harder again, which is a familiar enough pattern. Kazakh d'Arthel raced just one day ago, so whatever happens next is very much still in the conversation. At six, there's still time to build on that Cork success — but the record so far suggests this is a horse that needs things to fall right.
