Aspull
Aspull is a 4-year-old that broke its duck at Salisbury back in July 2025, but has been chasing that first win ever since—a gap of 15 months that tells you how tough it can be to land a second victory in racing. The horse has managed just one win from 12 races overall, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 attempts, though it does show up in the placings regularly enough, with four places to its name. What's interesting is that when Aspull has raced at Class 4 level—the kind of competitive but not elite races where it belongs—it has won 1 of 4 times, a 25% success rate that suggests it can be competitive in the right setup.Based on TrackLab's analysis

The real clue to Aspull's pattern lies in its best distance: at 7 furlongs to a mile, it has won 1 from 5 races (20%), which is notably better than its overall record. This is a horse that clearly prefers staying races, and the trainer Phil McEntee, based at Newmarket, has sent out 17 winners this season, so the yard is functioning. Recent form has been rough—the last six runs show 11th, 11th, 3rd, 7th, 5th and 10th place—and with the 3rd being the only bright spot in that sequence, Aspull needs to rediscover what worked at Salisbury. It raced just yesterday, so the yard are keeping it active, but without a win in over a year, this is a horse treading water rather than progressing. At this stage, finding the right race—likely at 7f to a mile, at Class 4 level—is everything.
