That said, the recent form offers a faint flicker of encouragement. The most recent run, just one day ago, produced a second-place finish — the best result of Krishna Bellevue's career to date, and the first time it has placed at all. Before that, a fourth, then an eighth and a ninth. The direction of travel, at least, is pointing upward, even if slowly.
The trainer is Ian Patrick Donoghue, based at Clonalvy in County Meath, and the yard has sent out 24 winners this season — a healthy return that suggests Donoghue knows how to place a horse when the time is right. Whether Krishna Bellevue is about to become winner number 25 remains to be seen, but the team clearly has the firepower to get results. The question is whether this particular horse is ready to convert promise into something more tangible.
