Captain Connor
Captain Connor is a 4-year-old that has raced 13 times without a win, though he has finished in the top 3 on five occasions.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Jamie Hamilton has ridden Captain Connor five times without a winner between them, so there's no obvious spark on that partnership so far. Clare Ellam's yard has been modest this season, sending out just 2 winners, which gives some context to the horse's struggles. When stepped up to Class 4 races — the higher-quality contests — Captain Connor has raced three times without success, indicating the yard may have found a ceiling for him at that level. At his current standard, he remains a horse that shows up, finishes thereabouts, and keeps trying, even if the win has so far stayed out of reach.
