Leech
Leech is a seven-year-old horse that has raced 15 times without ever crossing the finish line first, though it has finished in the top three on four occasions. The record tells a straightforward story: this is a horse that runs consistently but has not yet found the winning formula. Recent form shows a mix of mid-field and back-field finishes, with two top-3 efforts in the last six races, but no breakthrough.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse races for trainer Mrs C. Williams at Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan, a yard that has had three winners this season. In Class 5 races — the lower tier of the sport — Leech has run seven times without a win, competing at a level where victories might reasonably be expected. Its most regular partnership has been with jockey Adam Wedge, who has ridden it five times with no wins between them. With last race just a day ago, Leech remains an active runner, still looking for that elusive first victory after 15 attempts.
