Shirzan

That single win came at Limerick just days ago, on 31 March 2026, so this is a horse very much in the middle of his story right now. His recent form reads 1-3-7, meaning he won last time out, had a placed effort before that, and finished seventh in the race before. The progression isn't perfectly smooth, but horses rarely are — what matters is that he's heading into this week off the back of a win, which is exactly the kind of momentum a trainer wants to work with.

P G Fahey has the reins, and while the yard has been relatively quiet so far this season with just 2 winners, Shirzan is clearly one they're pointing in the right direction. Three races is a small sample, but with a win already on the board at Limerick and a horse who is clearly still developing at four years old, there's every reason to watch what comes next.
