Larkins Lane
Larkins Lane is a seven-year-old who looks to be finding his form at just the right moment. After a quiet spell, he has picked up two wins in his last six races—most recently at Sligo on 9 June, which was two months ago. That's a decent win rate over a short stretch, and it suggests the horse knows how to win when conditions suit.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Over his full career, Larkins Lane has won 2 of 14 races, a modest return that tells you this isn't a horse destined for the top tier. But the fact that both wins came within a fortnight of each other in late May and early June, at Limerick and then Sligo, hints that there may be something about Irish courses or seasonal timing that brings out the best in him. His recent form is mixed—he was fourth just a day ago and hasn't strung together a consistent run—but he remains active and clearly competitive. With trainer P J Rothwell, who has already sent out 35 winners this season from his yard at Tinahely, Larkins Lane has every chance to add to his tally if he can recapture that winning touch.
