Storm Heart
There is a horse in Willie Mullins' yard that knows exactly what it wants: rain, mud, and a chance to prove a point. Storm Heart has won 2 races from 7 outings — a win rate of 29%, or roughly 1 in every 3.5 races — but those numbers only tell half the story. On wet and muddy ground, this six-year-old transforms entirely, winning 2 from 3 attempts in those conditions. That is a two-in-three win rate, which is extraordinary at any level of racing.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The career highlights arrived at Punchestown on New Year's Eve 2023, and then again at Limerick on 27 December 2025 — both midwinter, both presumably with soft underfoot conditions to match. Some horses are versatile; Storm Heart is a specialist, and there is nothing wrong with that. When the forecast is grim and the ground is churned up, this horse becomes a different animal. Five placings from seven races also tells you it is rarely far off the pace — it is not a horse that disappears when things go wrong, but one that keeps finding the frame.
The trainer behind all of this is Willie Mullins, arguably the most successful jump racing trainer in the world. His operation at Muine Bheag in Co Carlow has sent out 237 winners this season alone — a number so large it barely seems real. For context, most trainers would celebrate 237 winners across an entire career. Storm Heart is one horse in a very large, very talented string, but it has clearly earned its place. Last raced just 18 days ago and currently in active training, the next assignment is presumably not far away. If the rain comes, keep this one very much in mind.
