Withabitofluk
Withabitofluk has won just once in nine races—that sole victory coming nearly two and a half years ago at Bellewstown on a fast, dry track in April 2024. The 7-year-old has picked up three places since then but has now gone 29 months without tasting the winner's enclosure, a drought that suggests he sits at the lower end of his sport's competitive spectrum. His recent form tells the story: a couple of second-place finishes mixed in with a fifth and runs where he failed to place at all across his last six outings. With a career win rate of just 1 in 9, he is a horse who finds winning genuinely difficult.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
He is trained by Henry de Bromhead at Knockeen in County Waterford, a yard that has sent out 110 winners this season and is clearly capable of getting horses to the winner's post. De Bromhead has plans to step Withabitofluk up in class over the coming weeks, targeting a hurdle race after his bumper win at Bellewstown. The trainer notes that the horse works nicely enough at home but prefers ground that is not too fast—that April victory came on good ground, and De Bromhead suggests faster conditions than that would stretch him. It is a modest assessment that hints at the ceiling of this horse's ability. Still, he remains active and in work, and at seven years old there is time yet for him to rediscover the winning formula.
