Kilt
Kilt is a five-year-old who has made life difficult for anyone backing it, managing just 1 win from 13 races — that's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 13 outings. The sole career victory came at Newmarket back in May 2024, now almost two years ago, and recent form tells a bleak story: six races in a row without troubling the winner's enclosure, with finishing positions of 9th, 10th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 7th. Nothing there to get excited about.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The one genuine bright spot is what the data shows over a mile and a bit — at distances between 1m1f and 1m2f, Kilt has won 1 from 5 races, a 20% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 5. That is a meaningful jump from the overall career record and suggests that when the trip is right, there is at least a horse worth watching. The problem is that "right trip" hasn't translated into a result for nearly two years.
Kilt is trained by P J Rothwell, whose yard in Tinahely, County Wicklow has been in decent form this season — 35 winners sent out is a solid body of work. The horse is now returning from a break of around three months, which could simply mean it needed time off, or could signal that the team has spotted an opportunity to place it fresh. Neither reading is cause for great optimism given the recent sequence, but a rested horse returning to its favoured distance is at least a combination worth noting.
