Al Suil Eile
Al Suil Eile is a 10-year-old with a rare gift for Southwell. The horse has won 5 races from 38 starts over its career — a win rate of roughly 1 in 7 — but those victories tell a lopsided story. Five of those wins have come at Southwell alone, winning 5 of 23 races there (22%), which means the horse is more than twice as likely to finish first at that track than anywhere else. Its most recent victory came on 11 March 2025, nearly two years ago now, suggesting the well of success may be running dry as it enters its eleventh year.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse races best over middle distances between 1 mile 1 furlong and 1 mile 2 furlongs, where it has won 4 of 18 races (22%). That is solid ground for a horse competing mostly in lower-class races — Al Suil Eile has 3 wins from 27 lower-tier efforts. Laura Pearson has been its most successful jockey, winning 2 of 8 rides together for a 25% win rate, which is markedly above the horse's overall average.
Recent form has been a struggle. Al Suil Eile has gone six races without a win, with a fourth place the best it could manage in that stretch. It raced as recently as one day ago, so the horse remains active, though at ten years old and with nearly two years since its last victory, it seems to be running in races it cannot quite win anymore. Derek Shaw's yard at Sproxton has sent out six winners this season, but Al Suil Eile is not among them so far.
