Mr Dibbs
At seven years old, Mr Dibbs is a horse that has had to be patient. Across 13 races, he has managed one win and five places — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 13 races — and that single victory came at Kilbeggan back in June 2024, now nearly two years ago. Since then, he has gone six races without finding the winner's enclosure, with recent finishes of 8th, 7th, 14th, 6th, 2nd, and a pulled-up run making for tough reading. The second place is the one glimmer — it shows he can still be competitive — but the 14th and the pull-up suggest his form has been inconsistent at best.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
He is trained by S Curling out of Cashel in County Tipperary, a yard that has sent out 14 winners already this season, so there is clearly ability in the team to get horses ready to perform. The fact that Mr Dibbs hasn't added to his tally despite being with a yard in decent form makes his situation a little puzzling. Whether the right race simply hasn't come along, or whether he needs things to fall his way, is the question his the yard will be asking.
What is notable is that he raced just yesterday, so he is very much an active campaigner. For a horse in his mid-career who has struggled to win, the Kilbeggan victory still stands as proof that he can do it on the right day. The challenge now is finding that day again.
