Lismacbryan
Lismacbryan is a five-year-old who has had to work hard for everything on a racecourse. Across 18 races, there has been just one win and two places — that is a win rate of roughly 1 in every 18 races, which tells you this is a horse operating at the competitive end of the sport where getting your nose in front does not come easily.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That single win came at The Curragh in October 2024, and it remains the high point of the career so far. The Curragh is Ireland's most storied flat track, so winning there means something — but it was now 20 months ago, and Lismacbryan has not been able to repeat the trick in any of the six races since. Recent form figures of 7-17-14-8-5 suggest a horse that has been running into some difficulty finding its best, though a fifth-place finish in there shows it is not entirely out of contention on its day.
The horse is trained by P Cluskey out of Balbriggan in County Dublin, a yard that has sent out two winners so far this season. Lismacbryan raced just one day ago, so this is very much an active campaign rather than a retrospective one — there is still time to add to that single career win. Whether a return to The Curragh might unlock something is an interesting thought, given that is where the one moment of glory came.
