The clear market favourite at 2.2, and the editorial nap of the race — she won at Newmarket just 19 days ago and has placed in every single one of her four career races, a level of consistency none of her rivals can match. The only question is untested ground conditions: she's never raced on slightly soft terrain, so today asks something new of a horse who's answered every question so far.

By far the most experienced horse in this nine-runner field with 40 races under her belt, and today's slightly soft conditions could be the key — she has won 4 from 11 races on soft ground, a record no rival can match. The puzzle is that she's won nothing on the ground types in between, so conditions need to be just right, and today they might be.

TrackLab Insight
Has the best career win rate in this field — winning roughly 1 in every 6 races — and crucially boasts a standout record at this exact trip, winning 2 from 5 races over seven furlongs. She was only beaten 1.8 lengths at this same Catterick course just 10 days ago, making her the most course-relevant runner here aside from the favourite.

TrackLab Insight
Arrives in decent nick having won two of her last six races, both at Wolverhampton on artificial surfaces — she's never raced on slightly soft ground before, so today is a genuine unknown. The low draw in stall 1 should help, though the stats show that isn't a strong position at this course and distance.
Still searching for a first win from five races, and back-to-back 9th-place finishes in her last two outings make the case hard to build. She's never raced on slightly soft ground, and the jockey-trainer pairing has yet to find the winner's enclosure together in 15 attempts.
One of the outsiders at 19/1, and the recent form gives you little reason to argue with that price — finishing 10th, 8th and 8th in her last three races. Her only win came on good ground, so today's slightly soft conditions are another question mark.

TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field by some distance — 8lbs below the field average — and hasn't raced in 195 days, the longest absence of any runner here. Eight races without a win is a tough record to overlook, though she does carry the lightest weight in the race, which gives her rivals more to carry.

Has been off the track for 140 days and arrives here having finished 7th in each of her last three races — the one win on her record came before that losing streak began. The market has her at a big price of 26/1, and with no experience of slightly soft ground, there's plenty to overcome on return.

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.
