Bois Guillbert

Bois Guillbert is a seven-year-old who has won 4 of his 21 races—a respectable if unspectacular record—but the real story lies in where those wins come from. At Class 4 level, where most of his races happen, he wins roughly one in every three (4 wins from 11 races). That's the sweet spot where he thrives. He's a different horse on slightly soft or muddy ground too, winning 3 of 10 races on those conditions, compared to much leaner returns on faster surfaces. The trainer, Lucinda Russell's yard at Milnathort, has been firing on all cylinders this season with 49 winners, and Bois Guillbert fits into a well-oiled operation.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

His last win came at Newcastle on 22 February 2025, nearly two years ago now, which marks an awkward dry spell across his last six races. But there's a hint of optimism in how his the yard see him: they believe he's a natural over fences rather than hurdles, and they schooled him with chasing in mind. When Stephen Mulqueen rides him—which happens regularly—the partnership clicks: 3 wins from 10 races together, a 30% win rate that stands well above his overall form. This suggests the jockey knows how to get the best from him. At seven years old and with solid Class 4 form, Bois Guillbert is a horse built to win races at his level, especially if a return to slightly softer ground and a move over fences can spark that winning mentality again.
