Putapoundinthejar
There is something endearingly stubborn about a horse named Putapoundinthejar — and at this point, its supporters might feel they have done exactly that, without much return. The six-year-old has won 2 of its 14 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 7, and has not troubled the winner's enclosure in its last six outings. Recent form figures of 13-6-10-8-9-5 paint a picture of a horse that is running consistently without ever quite getting there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That said, there is a decent foundation to build on. Putapoundinthejar broke its duck at Down Royal in January 2025, then followed it up with a second win at Punchestown in May — two different tracks, which suggests it is not entirely dependent on one particular venue or set of conditions. Punchestown, in particular, is one of Ireland's most prestigious jumping venues, so winning there is no small thing. The trouble is that May 2025 win now sits nearly a year in the rear-view mirror, and the horse has had six unproductive races since.
Trained by A.J. Martin out of Summerhill in County Meath, Putapoundinthejar is part of a yard that has sent out 14 winners this season — so the operation clearly knows how to get horses ready to win. Martin's team will have noted the 61-day break since the horse last raced, which gives them time to find the right opportunity and plot a way back to form. Whether Putapoundinthejar can rediscover that winning feeling is the question its supporters will be asking — and hoping the answer involves rather less patience than the last six races have required.
