The most recent of those Tramore wins came on 13 April 2025, so it has been just over a year since Prince Of Air last found the winner's enclosure. The last 6 races have produced two second-place finishes and a couple of thirds, but no win — which suggests a horse that is running consistently well without quite getting over the line. A 38-day break since its last run means it comes back fresh, and trainers rarely give a horse time off without a reason.
Distance is another clue worth paying attention to. Between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, Prince Of Air has won 2 of its 7 races — that's nearly 1 in 3 at those distances, compared to a much weaker record elsewhere. When everything lines up — Tramore, the right distance — this is a horse that has proven it can deliver.
The one question mark is the jockey partnership with P J O'Hanlon, who has ridden Prince Of Air 11 times without a win between them. That is a long run without a result and stands out as the one area where the stats give cause for pause. It does not mean the partnership cannot work, but it is the kind of detail a knowledgeable friend would quietly mention before you made up your mind.
