The most eye-catching thing right now is the form. Looking at the last six races in reverse order, there's a story of a horse coming back to life: a blank run, then sixth, then fourth, then two thirds, and finally a win at Roscommon just this week. That's a horse finding its feet again and peaking at the right moment — the kind of trajectory that makes it worth paying attention to right now rather than six months ago.
That Roscommon win on 8 June 2026 is the second of Soldante's career, following a first victory at Tramore back in November 2023. Over two and a half years separated those wins, which tells you this isn't a horse who finds the winner's enclosure easily — but it also means that when Soldante does win, the team at Ciaran Murphy's yard in Mullingar will have earned it. Murphy has had a productive season, sending out 18 winners, so Soldante's win this week adds to a yard that clearly knows what it's doing.
Regular jockey E Walsh has been aboard for 9 of the 16 career races, winning once together — that's 1 win from 9 rides, or just over 11%. It's a modest return, but the partnership has clearly been given time to develop, and the Roscommon win this week will have felt like a payoff for the patience shown in keeping the combination together through the quieter spells.
