Tir Og
Tir Og is a 5-year-old with a solid record of 3 wins from 21 races, which means it wins roughly one in every seven outings. The horse has shown enough ability to place in the frame regularly—ten placings alongside those three wins suggest a competitive sort that turns up and runs a respectable race most days. But there is a sharper story buried in these numbers: since winning at Naas ten months ago, Tir Og has not found the line first in any of its six most recent starts, including a third-place finish just yesterday. That is a dry spell, and it raises the question of whether the horse is struggling to recapture the form that brought those earlier victories.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What is genuinely interesting about Tir Og is its relationship with jockey Calum Hogan. Together they have a 25 per cent win rate—three victories from twelve races—which is significantly better than the horse's overall record. That kind of partnership matters. When Hogan is in the saddle, something clicks. The trainer, E Seymour, operates out of Nenagh in County Tipperary and has sent out only three winners all season, so Tir Og has been a reliable contributor to the yard's tally. The horse first broke its duck at Sligo back in August 2025, and two more wins followed, but the current form slump is real and persistent. With Tir Og active just yesterday, the wait for the next victory continues—and another success, especially with Hogan aboard, would suggest the horse still has plenty to offer at this level.
