Guinness Lad
The six-year-old has managed just one victory in 23 races across his career, a breakthrough that came at Windsor in early June. Since then, he has picked up five places but remains stuck at that single win, a record that puts him in the lower tier of racehorses — the kind that turns up most days at modest tracks but rarely lights up a scoreboard.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His recent form shows promise without delivering results. In his last six races, he has finished no worse than fourth, with two runner-up finishes that suggest he remains competitive. Yet there is a gap between staying close to winners and actually winning, and Guinness Lad has not closed it since June. His best chance comes at distances between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs, where he has won 1 of his 10 races — still lean odds, but his most reliable ground.
Trainer Neil Mulholland's yard at Limpley Stoke has been prolific this season with 60 winners, though Guinness Lad has not been one of them. Regular jockey Millie Wonnacott has ridden him seven times without a success, and stepping up to Class 6 company has proven a hurdle — he has drawn a blank in eight attempts at that level. The horse remains active and was last out just a day ago, so the opportunity to break his drought could come soon. For now, Guinness Lad is a decent plodder with one good day in his record and plenty of smaller days stacked around it.
