TrackLab Insight
Named as the main danger to the favourite in the editorial verdict, and she does have more experience than most here with six races under her belt. Her trainer Joseph O'Brien has been in strong form lately, winning roughly 1 in 6 races over the past two weeks. The concern is today's wet ground — she has never raced in these conditions — and she is yet to win in any of her six attempts.
Never raced on soft ground
Trainer in best form (6 from 34 last 2wk)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Just two races in, and the most recent was a distant ninth at Navan 13 days ago — beaten 13 lengths. Like most of this field, she has never raced on today's wet ground, so how she handles it is a genuine unknown. Her jockey has been riding well lately, winning 3 from 14 rides in the past two weeks, which is at least one positive to cling to.

Lightly raced (2 career races)
Jockey in best form (3 from 14 last 2wk)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The race favourite and, according to the editorial verdict, the one to beat if he is fit after a 77-day break. Back-to-back third-place finishes are the most encouraging recent form in this field, and his official rating of 69 is the highest in the race — 9 points above the field average. The caveat is that he has never raced on today's soft, muddy ground, so there is a genuine question about whether the conditions will suit.

Market favourite (2.88)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Two races, two forgettable results — eighth and sixth, beaten well on both occasions. She is one of the least experienced horses in this field and has yet to suggest she can trouble the front-runners. The wide draw in stall 11 does her no favours on a course where that position has a modest record.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
At odds of 51/1, the market has almost no interest in this one, and it is hard to argue with that assessment — ninth on her most recent outing, beaten over 11 lengths. She does have one placed finish from two career races, which is actually more than several rivals can say, but the overall picture is thin. Wet ground is uncharted territory for her too.

Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Only two races into her career and nothing to show yet — no wins, no places, and a 70-day break since we last saw her. The big unknown is how she handles today's wet, muddy ground, which she has never encountered before. At odds of 10/1 after drifting sharply from near even-money, the market has clearly cooled on her chances.

Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field who has actually won a race, giving him the best win rate here — roughly 1 in every 6 outings. The problem is that his last run was a distant ninth, beaten over 26 lengths, which is hard to explain after the earlier win. He and his jockey have never worked together before, which is another variable to factor in on what will be unfamiliar wet ground.

Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
TrackLab Insight
The standout marker says three straight top-three finishes, but the actual form figures tell a very different story — 11th, 13th, 11th, 14th across recent races, with no wins or places at all from five outings. There appears to be a mismatch in the data, so treat this one with caution. Never raced on soft, muddy ground either, which adds another question mark.

3 straight top-3 finishes
TrackLab Insight
Three races in and still searching for a first win or placing, Schoolyard Days also carries the lowest official rating in the field — sitting 6 points below the field average. She has never raced on soft, muddy ground and faces a 70-day break coming into this. There is not much in the data to suggest she can trouble the market leaders.
Never raced on soft ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Six races, zero wins, zero places, and finishing positions that read 10th, 14th, 13th, 13th, 9th, 10th — consistently at the back of the field. She carries one of the lowest official ratings in the race and has never raced on soft, muddy ground. It is hard to find a reason to be optimistic about her chances here.
Never raced on soft ground
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in this field by a distance — 11 races compared to a field average of just 4 — yet she has never managed a win and has only one place to her name from all those attempts. Her last three completed finishes were 13th, 11th, and 7th, which is the wrong direction. She has never raced on wet ground either, and at 41/1, the market agrees this is a tough ask.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
