Let Him B

That sole career win came at Down Royal on 17 March 2026, and the last six runs suggest a horse that has genuinely turned a corner. Reading the form in reverse, he has gone 5th, 9th, 1st, 2nd, a non-runner, and 12th — which means he went on a run of first and second before the most recent outing. A horse that finishes second and then wins back-to-back is one building confidence and finding his stride, not just making up the numbers. The 12th last time out is worth watching: whether that was a blip or a sign of something is the question his next run will answer.

Philip Byrnes rides him more than anyone else, the pair having teamed up seven times with one win between them — a win rate of 14%, or roughly 1 in every 7 rides together. That's a stronger return than the overall career average and suggests this is a partnership the team at Ballingarry have some faith in. Trainer C Byrnes has been in fine form this season, sending out 26 winners from the yard in Co Limerick — a busy and productive operation that clearly knows how to place a horse to its best advantage. Let Him B raced just one day ago, so he is very much in the middle of his campaign right now.

At six, he is mature enough to know his job and still young enough to improve. Whether Down Royal proves to be a happy hunting ground he returns to, or simply the scene of a one-off career highlight, the next few runs should tell us plenty.
