Lenjoleur De Palma
Lenjoleur De Palma is a 5-year-old who has taken a long time to get his head in front, winning just once from 12 races, but he finally broke through at Limerick last November and has shown enough consistency since to suggest he belongs somewhere in the mid-tier of jumpers. The horse has finished in the top 3 in six of those 12 races, which tells you he is competitive most days — he just struggles to convert that into wins. His recent form reads 4-6-3-2-1-3 over his last six runs, so while he picked up a win three races back, he has been inconsistent lately, mixing a second-place finish with some middling efforts. The gaps matter here: he is not reliably in the mix anymore, which is a concern for a horse chasing that second victory.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What works in his favour is that E McNamara's yard at Rathkeale has been sending out winners at a decent clip this season — 22 already — so there is a functioning operation behind him. More significantly, Lenjoleur De Palma has a clear affinity for Limerick, where he won in November and has raced at least twice since without winning, which suggests the track suits him even if it is not a guaranteed banker. He was last on the track a day ago, so the yard is keeping him active and looking for another opportunity. At this level, with a single win to his name from 12 attempts, he is a horse grinding away in the middle ranks — useful and reliable enough to pick up a place now and then, but not the type that will carry money. If he can string together some top-3 finishes and find another winning race, he will justify his space in the yard. For now, he is a horse who deserves respect for his consistency, even if the wins have dried up since the autumn.
