Trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien at Owning Hill in Co Kilkenny, Kizlyar is in excellent hands. O'Brien's yard has sent out 153 winners already this season — that is the kind of operation that knows how to place a horse and find the right opportunity. When a trainer is firing in winners at that volume, you back their judgment that a horse is ready to step forward.
What stands out in Kizlyar's recent form is the third-place finish, which shows this horse can compete and run into a place when the conditions suit. The challenge now is converting that proximity into a win. With only four races on the clock, Kizlyar is still relatively unexposed — there is plenty of scope to improve and find a race that fits. Having raced just one day ago, the team are clearly keeping this horse busy and looking for the right moment to strike.
