The recent form makes for encouraging reading too. Reading right to left, the last six races show a win, a second, a third, a fourth, a blank, and another fourth — so outside of one off day, Warriors Wood has been placing consistently and finding the winner's enclosure at the right moments. That kind of form suggests a horse in decent health and confidence rather than one scraping around for results.
Andrew McNamara's yard in Athboy, Co. Meath has sent out 7 winners this season, which is solid output from a smaller operation. Warriors Wood accounts for 3 of those wins across its career and, having raced just one day ago, is clearly a horse that's kept fit and active rather than being saved for rare outings. Whether McNamara points it back toward Kilbeggan again will be the interesting question — because on the evidence so far, that's where Warriors Wood is most dangerous.
