TrackLab Insight
The market favourite despite being rated 6lbs below the top-rated horse in the field — that confidence appears to rest on the powerful Dan and Harry Skelton yard, who win roughly 1 in 5 races together across over 2,400 attempts. The worry is that this horse has never raced on dry ground and its only wins have come on good ground, so today's conditions are an unknown quantity for a horse being asked to lead the market.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2025
"Won a novice hurdle at Aintree last year but unfortunately got a problem later in the campaign and had some time off. He came back in looking bigger and stronger, and ran really well on his reappearance, just behind the principals in a handicap hurdle at Newbury. We'll look for another hurdle in a few weeks, although he has the option of going chasing at some stage. That latest run was a nice way into the season. 10-11-25"
TrackLab Insight
The standout course record in this field: three races at Huntingdon, three wins — a perfect 100% record over this exact course and distance that no rival can match. The big question is a 210-day absence, the longest layoff in the field, but when a horse owns a track like this one does, that's hard to ignore.

At 11 years old, Tiger Orchid is the most experienced horse in the field by some distance — 34 races versus rivals with half as many — and holds the best dry-ground record of any runner here, winning 1 from 3 on a similar surface. The concern is that it hasn't won since those dry-ground outings, and its record on left-handed sharp tracks like Huntingdon reads zero wins from seven attempts.
Best record on this ground (1 from 3)
TrackLab Insight
Arrives here as one of the market leaders on the back of a win at Wincanton 37 days ago, which gives it a recent form edge over several rivals. However, its record away from good ground is worrying — zero wins from 12 races on any other surface — and its record on left-handed galloping tracks like Huntingdon reads just one win from 14 races.
2nd in the market (5.6)
TrackLab Insight
Top-rated in the field by 3lbs, but there's a significant catch: this horse has never raced on dry ground, and today's conditions are exactly that. Came agonisingly close last time out, beaten just a neck at Warwick, so the form is there — but nobody knows how it will handle a surface it's never encountered before.
Top rated by 3lbs
Never raced on dry ground
TrackLab Insight
Arrives here as the lowest-rated horse in the field, carrying the lightest weight, and has never raced on dry ground — three significant hurdles to clear before even considering the step up in class. There is some encouragement in back-to-back placed runs at Taunton, but the jockey-trainer partnership here has produced just 3 wins from 113 races together, which is a thin record to lean on.

TrackLab Insight
Fourth-highest rated in the field, yet the market has pushed it out to 13/1, which suggests punters aren't convinced — and the data offers a clue why: like several rivals today, this horse has never raced on dry ground. Its best form has come on wetter surfaces, including a course-specialist record at Plumpton where it wins nearly 1 in 2 races, but Huntingdon on a dry day is uncharted territory.
Never raced on dry ground
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
At 23/1, the market has largely written this horse off, and recent form gives it little argument — two non-completions in its last two runs before a 32-day break. Like several others today, it has never raced on dry ground, and there's limited data to suggest it will take to the conditions.

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.
