Whinney Hill
Whinney Hill is a 6-year-old that has won just once in nine races, claiming a victory at Navan on 16 November 2024. That win came almost two years ago, and since then the horse has failed to find its way back to the winner's enclosure despite plenty of opportunities. Of the six races it has run in since that triumph, it has finished fourth once but otherwise drawn blanks, posting results that read: fifth, unplaced, unplaced, fourth, unplaced, ninth. It has placed three times overall, which suggests it can occasionally run well enough to trouble the judge, but consistency has been elusive.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse is trained by Dave Roberts at Kenley in Shropshire, a yard that has sent out six winners this season but clearly has not yet found the right race or the right conditions to unlock another victory for Whinney Hill. The horse raced just a day ago, so it remains actively campaigned, but with a win rate of only 1 in 9 and nothing to show for the last 22 months, it is running out of chances to prove there is another winning performance left in it. For a horse at this age and this stage of its career, a long absence between wins is a warning sign that the margins have become impossibly tight.
