The Shandyman
Three races into its career and still waiting for a first win, The Shandyman is a 3-year-old yet to fully announce itself — but there are reasons to stay patient. The horse has managed one placed finish from its three races so far, a modest return that tells you it is still learning the job rather than dominating it.Based on TrackLab's analysis

What gives the picture more colour is who is doing the waiting. The Shandyman is trained by W P Mullins at Muine Bheag in County Carlow — one of the most powerful yards in the sport. With 220 winners sent out already this season, Mullins operates at a scale that is genuinely hard to comprehend. That is not a yard that keeps horses around without purpose.
The recent form reads 7-2-7 — a finish well down the field, then that placed effort, then another distant run most recently. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is very much mid-campaign. Form that zigzags like that suggests a horse still finding its feet, and at three years old, that is not unusual. The question is whether that second place was a glimpse of what is coming, or just a fortunate day. With Mullins pulling the strings, the smart money is on this one being given every chance to find out.
