TrackLab Insight
This 4-year-old won at Hamilton just 20 days ago (the only other winner at the track this season) and has 3 straight top-three finishes, suggesting sharp form. However, only 1 win from 9 career races (11%) and moderate overall ability mean the recent Hamilton success is more noteworthy than any broader pattern of excellence.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Trainer Quotes
Sep 2025
"He's a very nice horse. He was a Godolphin castoff bought at the sales at the start of the year. We took a chance as he's got a great staying pedigree. He's been a work in progress and a bit lazy at home, but he's progressing well. He ran a great race to finish third in the Glasgow Stakes and was given a mark of 101. Last time he was beaten at long odds-on but he might have bumped into one because the winner looks a very good horse. I've still got faith in our horse. He could be very good. 10-09-25"
TrackLab Insight
Joint favourite at 5.5 with an identical 36% career win rate to El Burhan, Yabher has three straight top-three finishes and returns off 24 days' rest from an unspecified run at Goodwood. The market backs him for good reason, though recent form shows a poor York run 41 days ago, making him vulnerable to El Burhan's sharper preparation.

Market favourite (5.5)
TrackLab Insight
The youngest in the field at 3 years old with just 8 career races, Evanesco holds a 25% win rate but shows inconsistency (three runs ago was 7th at Ascot). His recent third-place finish at Goodwood and strong partnership with David Egan (40% win rate together) offer promise, but inexperience counts against him in a competitive handicap.
Relatively inexperienced (8 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Joint favourite at 5.5 and the standout ground specialist with 2 wins from 5 on slightly soft (40%) plus 3 consecutive top-three finishes including two recent wins at Ripon and Goodwood. This 5-year-old's 91% frame rate is exceptional and she suits the conditions perfectly, making her a live contender despite the longer odds drift.
Best record on this ground (2 from 5)
3 straight top-3 finishes
TrackLab Insight
This 4-year-old has never raced on slightly soft ground and brings a poor overall win rate of 18%, though both wins came at Leicester over this exact distance range. The narrow second-place finish at Goodwood 24 days ago shows recent form, but the ground change and lack of experience on soft surfaces work against him here.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
TrackLab Insight
The standout record-holder here with 4 wins from 11 races (36%), El Burhan sits just below top-rated Teumessias Fox on the ratings but carries a decisive fitness advantage after running only 15 days ago. His strength on good ground and at this distance (7f-1m sweet spot) combined with recent third-place finish at Southwell makes him the most likely improver in a moderately open race.
Best career win rate in field (1 in 3)
TrackLab Insight
Only four career races with zero wins but two placed finishes shows promise without delivery; the recent York run 27 days ago saw him beaten 19.8 lengths, a significant setback. With no proven ability at this level and scarce racing history, he lacks the credentials to trouble the stronger runners.
Relatively inexperienced (4 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One of the few course winners (1 from 6 at Hamilton) with a 38% win rate at this exact distance, Elsass has three wins from 14 races overall. Recent form is patchy but the third-place finish at Ripon 34 days ago shows he's competitive; his proven course record and distance suitability make him a genuinely interesting option.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced runner (50 races, 20% win rate) and a Ripon specialist with four wins there, Spioradalta shows solid recent form with a second-place finish at Ripon 34 days ago. However, the partnership between jockey and trainer is winless in 18 attempts together, and Hamilton is not his track, making him a reliable but unlikely winner.
Most experienced (50 runs, field avg 17)
TrackLab Insight
Top-rated at 95 with the best record at this trip (3 wins from 15 attempts), this 7-year-old is Kempton's specialist on muddy ground (50% win rate) but has never won on good-to-soft or standard ground. The 63-day absence and recent pulled-up at Ascot are worrying signs, making him a potentially stale favourite despite his course credentials.
Best record at this trip (3 from 15)
TrackLab Insight
Never raced on slightly soft ground and only one win from 9 races (11%), though the 3 straight top-three finishes suggest consistency. The sharp recent form (won at Ayr 47 days ago) is undercut by an 11th-place finish at Hamilton just 10 days ago, indicating possible form reversal in familiar surroundings.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
3 straight top-3 finishes
TrackLab Insight
Twenty-six career races give this 5-year-old experience, but recent form tells a concerning story: 14th at Ascot 66 days ago followed by 8th place 13 days ago. A 19% win rate and poor record on good-to-firm ground suggest he's beyond his best, and the first-time pairing with Shane Gray offers no obvious edge in a field full of sharper rivals.
Among the more experienced (26 career races)
TrackLab Insight
A massive 330-day absence makes this 5-year-old a question mark with no wins from two career races, both disappointing efforts at top-level tracks. The high rating is theoretical rather than earned, and returning from such a lengthy layoff without a single victory on her record leaves little reason to trust her here despite the attractive odds.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
Absent 330 days (longest in field)
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
A 24% career win rate (6 from 25) is respectable, but this 8-year-old is returning after 310 days off the track and has never won at top-class level despite placing frequently. The long absence combined with struggles on soft ground and right-handed galloping tracks makes him a risky proposition at 85/1.
One of the more successful in the field (6 career wins)

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.
