Pavilion End
Pavilion End is a 6-year-old who has made life hard for anyone cheering it on — just 1 win from 18 races tells you this is a horse that finds ways to finish close without quite getting the job done. That sole victory came at Dundalk in January 2025, and with the horse having raced 18 months ago as its last winning effort, the wait for a repeat has been a long one. Six places along the way show there is ability here, but converting that into wins has proven elusive.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The most interesting version of Pavilion End shows up over longer distances — between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, it has won 1 from 10 races at around 10%, or roughly 1 in every 10 attempts. That might not sound like much, but it is the only distance range where it has won at all, which tells you clearly where Charles O'Brien's team will be pointing it when conditions are right. O'Brien trains out of Straffan in County Kildare and has sent out 2 winners so far this season, so the yard is ticking over rather than firing on all cylinders.
Recent form makes for sobering reading — a second-place finish is the highlight of the last six runs, with the horse finishing as far back as thirteenth on another occasion. It raced just yesterday, which means this is a horse very much in the thick of its campaign right now. The priority for Pavilion End is simple: find a race where the trip suits, hope the Dundalk magic can be rediscovered, and turn one of those places into something the yard can celebrate.
