Kilt
Kilt has been a modest but persistent performer through 19 races, picking up two wins and four places along the way—he wins roughly one in every nine races. Now five years old and still active, he raced as recently as yesterday, so he remains a regular fixture in his trainer
P J Rothwell's yard at Tinahely in County Wicklow.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The gelding's recent form has been mixed. His last six outings show a second place, a fourth, another fourth, a fifth, a fourth again, and a twelfth—so while he has stayed competitive, he has not found the winner's circle for three months. That last win came at Wexford on 27 May 2026, when the ground must have suited him. Over his best distances, from just over a mile to a mile and a quarter, Kilt shows his true level: he has won once from five races at those lengths, a 20% win rate that suggests this is where he races his most convincing. His first career win arrived at Newmarket in May 2024, and since then he has been a steady earner without becoming a regular winner. With Rothwell's yard in strong form this season—35 winners sent out already—Kilt continues to have opportunities, but his record suggests he is best viewed as a horse who will take some beating on his preferred terrain and distance, rather than one ready to break through at a bigger level.
