TrackLab Insight
The market favourite has legitimate form with back-to-back wins at Redcar in the past fortnight, but he's out again after just three days and is rated joint-top on 55. At nine years old and running this frequently, stamina at a mile and a furlong could be the question mark.

Trainer Quotes
May 2022
"He won at Beverley on his comeback and then ran a nice race in the Thirsk Hunt Cup. A nice, big horse with some reasonable form in France, he could have a good enough summer and might run at York this week. 09-05-22"

TrackLab Insight
Back out just a day after finishing fourth at Musselburgh — this is a horse that handles quick turnarounds, though recent form (4-6-6) suggests he's not firing. The worry is he's rated 55 but has zero wins on good ground and only comes alive on softer surfaces, which we don't have today.

TrackLab Insight
Best record on today's ground with 2 wins from 9 starts on normal conditions, but the recent form is alarming — 17th at Doncaster six weeks ago was a genuine shocker. This five-year-old has it in him to win roughly 1 in 7, but he needs to find form he's clearly lacking right now.

TrackLab Insight
A three-year-old carrying the lightest weight in the field at 125lbs, but she's winless from 13 races with just one place finish to her name. Recent form shows four places from six runs, suggesting she's competitive without ever quite getting over the line — she's not a winner yet.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field with 69 races and the best career win rate (roughly 1 in 7), but here's the catch: she's zero from 10 on standard ground and hasn't raced in three weeks. She actually won here at Hamilton 21 days ago, making her a genuine course specialist with proven form over this trip.
Best record at this trip (1 from 7) Most experienced (69 runs, field avg 34) Best career win rate in field (1 in 7)
Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"She was great last year with five wins and plenty of places. She's very genuine and straightforward but it might be more difficult for her this year. Although she's below her last winning mark, sometimes when they've won a lot of races in a year they find it more difficult the next season, for whatever reason. There's a 0-60 handicap on April 23 at Beverley, where she's won before. 15-04-26"

Wearing cheekpieces Quick turnaround Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before
TrackLab Insight
A four-year-old that winless from 14 races, despite running only a week after a fifth-place finish at Newcastle. The form reads as a horse that can't get it done, and at this level with zero wins to its name, backing it is a stretch.

TrackLab Insight
The biggest concern in the field — he's been off for nearly 10 months after running at Lingfield 291 days ago, making him by far the longest absence here. A return from that sort of layoff at Class 6 is a huge ask, even for a horse that has won four times in 38 races.

TrackLab Insight
A four-year-old filly that has never won in 12 attempts and carries the lowest weight penalty at 130lbs — but that tells you everything about where the handicapper rates this horse. With one place finish in her entire career, she's a long way from winning at this level.
Winless from 12 career races

TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated runner at 45, sitting six pounds below the field average, and his recent form (7-7-13) explains why — he's been struggling badly. He does have a win rate of roughly 1 in 11 on slow ground, but we don't have that today, and he's been off for six weeks.

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.
