Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Most experienced horse in the field at 51 races, but she's won just once in her last six runs and holds a worrying blank record at Epsom (0 from 7 attempts) despite being rated among the top three here. Her Bath form is stellar—3 wins from 7 starts—but she struggles on fast, dry ground like today's conditions and has never won at this track, making her odds of 6.0 less attractive than they initially appear.

Trainer Quotes
Aug 2025
"She's getting on a bit now. Like her mother, who we trained, she has to be in the right mood on the day. She definitely has more winning in her off her current mark and she likes fast ground. We got the tactics wrong at Salisbury the other day, but it's very hard at that track to get into top gear quite so soon. The early fractions were pretty fast and she couldn't sustain it. Hopefully she'll have a trip to Brighton later in the month. She's a fun horse at her level. 20-08-25"
Super Value
TrackLab Insight
The selection according to the market, and for good reason: she carries the best win rate in this field at 1 in 5 races and wins roughly 40% of the time at the 1m1f–1m2f distances she loves. At just 4 years old with only 16 races on her record, she still has room to progress, and the low draw (2) suits Epsom's conditions where lower stalls carry a 13% win rate from history.
Best record at this trip (2 from 7)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 5)
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 4.0 for a reason: he's fresh off a win at Lingfield just 10 days ago and boasts an exceptional 36% win rate on good-to-firm ground like today's fast, dry track. He won't win every time—roughly 1 in 6 races overall—but his form is hot, his conditions suit perfectly, and he's well-suited to this distance; his only real concern is a complete blank on good ground in six attempts, though that's a different surface from today's firm going.
Best record on this ground (4 from 11)
Market favourite (4.0)
TrackLab Insight
A win at Lingfield 20 days ago and a narrow second at Epsom 44 days ago suggest he's building towards something, yet his career win rate is just 5% (2 wins from 38 races) and both victories came at Lingfield on standard ground—not this place or this surface. At 7 years old with a draw of 10, he's an outlier here, and the good-to-firm ground today is precisely what he hasn't conquered: 0 wins from 9 attempts.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Rated 6lbs below the field average and winless from 9 career races with just one place finish—he's among the least proven runners here. His recent form does show some fight: a third at Bath just days ago suggests he's competitive at this level, but he's never found the winner's enclosure and carries the lowest weight in the field (126lbs), which usually signals lack of opportunity rather than talent.
Mid-range in the market (13.5)
TrackLab Insight
Winless from six career races but showing genuine improvement: he's placed in 2 of his last 3 starts, with narrow defeats at Lingfield—a track he clearly suits. However, his complete blank win record and his lack of course experience at Epsom make him more of a long-shot improver than a natural threat, though his form trajectory is genuinely encouraging for a horse still learning the trade.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Red flag: she hasn't run in 95 days—the longest absence in the field—and returns with zero wins from 8 attempts, though three places suggest she's competitive. At only 3 years old and with a late start to her racing career (January 2026), she may need the run, and the patient approach from Roger Teal's yard hints at a young horse still developing; the 19.0 odds reflect both the layoff and her blank record.
Absent 95 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Winless from 10 races but placed in 2 of her last 3 outings, including a narrow third at Lingfield just 13 days ago, which hints at genuine improvement. However, she's a 3-year-old still learning and her form is inconsistent—a ninth and a 10th mixed among her closer efforts—making her odds of 23.0 a reflection of her raw record rather than genuine back-able form.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Eight races, zero wins, zero places—Lady Margret hasn't won a penny for her the yard and her recent form is all over the map (6th, 10th, 8th, 12th, 7th, 6th). At 51.0 odds, she's essentially a fun flutter rather than a serious contender; there's nothing in her record to suggest she'll break her maiden here against a field that includes horses with actual recent form.
Outsider at 51.0
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field (45, some 7lbs below average) and the lightest-weighted (117lbs), Cormorant Rock is 3 years old and winless from 5 races with no places—he's very much an outpost of the field. His recent 4th at Lingfield is his best effort, but the 34.0 odds correctly price him as an outsider with plenty to prove.

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.
