All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field to have won at Hexham, and that win came just 17 days ago on this exact course — making all the running and never looking back. Carries extra weight as a penalty for that success, but has the best win record in the field and clearly thrives here. The big question is whether his odds drifting so dramatically from 1.1 to 5.0 means something has spooked punters, or whether this is simply an overreaction.
Only course winner (1 from 1 here)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 8)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
This horse has raced just once in its life, finishing second at Exeter 130 days ago — that's the longest absence in the field and the thinnest form profile here. On the plus side, a second place on debut is a decent starting point, and this horse is trained by Nicky Henderson, one of the most respected names in the sport. Whether it's ready after such a long break is the unknown, but the market has it as second favourite.
Lightly raced (1 career races)
Absent 130 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
This horse has never raced in public before — today is day one — which makes it the complete unknown in the field, yet the market has installed it as the favourite at 2.56. That confidence presumably comes from what trainer Olly Murphy has seen at home, and his team wins roughly 1 in 4 races together with jockey Sean Bowen. Backing a debutant favourite is always a leap of faith, but this combination knows what it's doing.

TrackLab Insight
Two races, two fourth-place finishes, and nothing closer to the front — Coniston Commander hasn't threatened to win yet and is the longest-priced runner in the field at 15.0. The horse has had wind surgery since its last run, which is a procedure designed to help a horse breathe more freely and can sometimes spark improvement. Whether that's enough to bridge the gap to the front-runners is a big ask here.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Rachel Lopez raced at this very course just 10 days ago, finishing second but beaten 17 lengths, which suggests she's competitive enough to complete but some way off the pace-setters. At 36.0 she's a big outsider, and the trainer-jockey combination here wins roughly 1 in 30 races together — the weakest such record in the field. Honest rather than exciting based on the evidence.

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.
