Tintinabulla

Trained by Sheila Lavery at Summerhill in Co. Meath, Tintainabulla is part of a yard that has been steadily competitive, with three winners sent out already this season. That suggests the trainer knows how to get horses into a winning frame, even if this particular three-year-old hasn't quite clicked yet. The pair placement finishes—coming third and fourth in recent races—hint that the horse has the ability to run in the money, but converting those near-misses into victories remains the missing piece. With racing practically every other day and the horse still in action, there is time yet for Tintainabulla to crack it, though the lack of a win after half a dozen attempts suggests the step up might be steeper than hoped.
