Morehampton

Recent form tells the story: Morehampton has been inconsistent, picking up a third-place finish two races back before those disappointing runs further down the card. That Listowel win, though, shows he still has the ability to get the job done when conditions suit. He is ridden most often by Ben Coen, who has won once from six races with him—a 17% win rate together, slightly better than Morehampton's overall record but not by much. Trainer J. P. Murtagh, based in County Kildare, has had a strong season with 53 winners from his yard, and Morehampton's latest victory suggests the horse has found some form at the right end of the season. At three years old, he may still develop, but for now he remains a horse who wins his share of modest races and regularly runs into places—exactly the sort of steady, honest performer you find in yards across Ireland.
