Gower Prince
Gower Prince is eight years old and still hunting for consistency after 24 races that have brought three wins and ten places—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races. His recent form, though, tells a more encouraging story. Over his last six outings he has finished first or second in five of them, winning twice, which suggests something has clicked for him in the past few weeks. His most recent victory came just this week at Chepstow on 11 October, and he raced again only a day later, keeping him very much in active rotation.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Jonjo and A.J. O'Neill at their Cheltenham yard—which has sent out 51 winners already this season—Gower Prince typically races in Class 4 company, though that particular level has been a tough nut to crack. He has run 10 races at Class 4 without a win, which makes his recent success at other levels a shade more valuable. Sam Twiston-Davies has been his most frequent jockey, partnering him eight times, but the numbers there are modest: one win from those eight races, matching Gower Prince's overall win rate. His first career victory came on 21 April 2024 at Wincanton, suggesting it took him time to break through before settling into a rhythm. That recent win at Chepstow and the high-placing finishes either side of it mark him as a horse heading in the right direction, even if he remains firmly in the middle tier of the sport.
