TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 1.81 and for good reason: he's won 2 from his last 6 races (29% win rate, best in the field), took back-to-back wins at Stratford and Fontwell last month, carries the lowest weight in the field, and raced only seven days ago showing peak fitness. His youth (four years old) and form curve mark him as the horse to beat.

Fresh (475 days off) Won 1 of last 5 Won here 1 time
TrackLab Insight
The only course winner in the field—he took this race at Bangor 475 days ago—but that's a massive red flag: returning after over a year off with just one win in five career races. He's also never won on normal ground, managing 0 from 3, so this layoff and ground combination represents genuine risk despite the course form.
Only course winner (1 from 1 here) Absent 475 days (longest in field)

TrackLab Insight
Just one win from ten races (10% win rate), but he's won 1 from 3 on good-to-soft ground—exactly what today offers—and raced yesterday showing current fitness. However, he's been beaten heavily in his last three outings, with margins of 40+ lengths, so form has dipped sharply.

TrackLab Insight
Lowest rated by 13 pounds below the field average, winless from 11 races with just one place to show, and he's specifically 0 from 5 at Bangor—this is his worst course. Jockey and trainer are teaming up for the first time, adding another unknown.

TrackLab Insight
Winless from nine races but second-highest rated in the field at OR 93, and he raced just 16 days ago, giving him a fitness edge over most rivals. The editorial verdict backs him to overturn Soldier In Mayo on stamina over this trip, but the zero-win record is a hard fact to ignore.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"A nice youngster who's waiting to go over fences. He had an issue with his hock after finishing second at Uttoxeter, which meant he was off for nearly a year. He's had his run back and is a nice horse for the future. 08-04-26"

Wearing hood Won 1 of last 5 Has won on this ground
TrackLab Insight
Two wins from 13 races (15% win rate) make him one of the more proven winners in the field, and he landed a win at Fontwell just 133 days ago before a recent unseating. He's a steady nine-year-old competitor but hasn't yet proved he can win at Bangor.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)

TrackLab Insight
Seven races, zero wins, zero places—she's consistently finishing in the pack (mostly sixth) and hasn't landed a blow anywhere. At 34.0 odds and with nothing to suggest she'll break the pattern here, she's the clearest outsider in the field.

TrackLab Insight
She holds the best record on normal ground in this field (2 wins from 8 starts), which is a genuine angle at odds of 21.0, but she's been off for 277 days and showed 6th place form when last seen. The tongue strap is in, and the form curve is unpredictable—sometimes a long break helps, sometimes it doesn't.

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.
