Woolisle
Woolisle is a three-year-old who has been grinding away on the lower rungs of the racing ladder, winning once in eleven races and picking up a top-3 finish roughly every other time out. The horse broke through at Nottingham in late October 2025 — and then went quiet for a full year before racing again just yesterday. That long absence makes it hard to know what Woolisle will do next, but the recent form suggests some genuine problems. In the last six runs, the horse has finished eighth, fourth, second, first, second, and sixth — all over the place, with that solitary win buried in the middle rather than suggesting any kind of momentum.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Where Woolisle does have something to hang its hat on is Class 5 company, where it has won one from six races, a win rate of around 17 percent. That is significantly better than the overall record, which hints that the horse is capable at its level but simply struggles when stepped up. Trained by Heather Main at Kingston Lisle in Oxfordshire — a yard that has sent out seventeen winners already this season — Woolisle has the infrastructure to improve. But with just nine wins in every hundred races across its career, and a year away from the track before last week's return, it feels like a horse that might be looking for a chance to prove itself can still compete at all.
