Leonard Vallis

The one win came at Thurles in February 2026, and it matters more than it might look on paper. Thurles is a tight, sharp track that tends to sort out horses quickly — you either handle it or you don't. Leonard Vallis handled it. That win came roughly two months ago, so this is not a horse living off distant memories; it is a horse in current form, having raced as recently as yesterday.

That most recent run did produce a fourth-place finish, which keeps things in perspective — this is still a horse learning its trade. But a second place earlier in the sequence shows it can mix it at the right level, and trainer Terence O'Brien has had 10 winners already this season from his Cork base, which tells you this is a yard producing results, not just entries. When a trainer is firing in winners at that rate, horses in decent form tend to get the right opportunities. Leonard Vallis looks like one worth keeping an eye on.
