Silken Thomas
Silken Thomas is a five-year-old that has yet to find the winner's enclosure, finishing outside the top three in both of its races to date. The horse has one top-3 finish on its record from two outings, which came most recently in its last race just over a day ago.
Barry Connell, who trains from Nurney in County Kildare, sends out a yard that has already saddled seven winners this season, so there is clearly talent flowing through the stable.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
With limited race experience and no wins yet, Silken Thomas remains a work in progress at an age when many horses are beginning to settle into their true level. Whether the horse improves from here will depend on finding a race where the conditions and the pace suit better — something that any trainer with an active string is constantly trying to engineer. For now, the record stands at a place from two races, which at least shows the horse is competitive enough to threaten the podium, even if breaking through to victory has proved elusive so far.
