Trained by J S Bolger at Coolcullen in Co Carlow, Lar Na Coille is at least in capable hands. Bolger's yard has sent out 8 winners already this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get horses ready to win. The question is when Lar Na Coille's turn will come. The recent run of form — finishing tenth, sixth, fifteenth, and then unplaced in the most recent outing just a day ago — does not paint a picture of a horse on the cusp of a breakthrough, but horses can improve sharply at this age, and trainers like Bolger tend to have a plan.
At three years old, there is still time. Some horses take longer than others to put it all together, and the fact that the yard is active and winning races this season suggests Lar Na Coille will keep getting opportunities to find the right race and the right day.
