Gorthill
Ten years old and still turning up — Gorthill is the kind of horse that keeps plugging away even when the wins aren't coming. Across 10 races, there has been just the one victory, a 10% win rate that works out to roughly 1 in every 10 races, with three placed finishes to go alongside it. Honest, but not flashy.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That sole win came at Downpatrick back in May 2023, and it remains the only time Gorthill has got its head in front in a career race. That's now 37 months ago — more than three years — with six races since and nothing to show in the winner's circle. The recent form figures of 5-6-5-2-2 tell a consistent enough story: competitive without threatening to win, finishing in the places twice but never quite getting there.
At a decade old, the clock is ticking on what Gorthill can realistically achieve, but the horse is still active — it raced just yesterday — which says something about its soundness and willingness. For now, it looks like a horse most comfortable making up the numbers, and a return to Downpatrick might be the best chance of rekindling that winning feeling.
