All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the editorial pick, stepping back up in trip after a run of poor form that includes finishes of 6th, 5th, and 12th in his last three races. His best ground record is on normal conditions — exactly what he gets today — and he wins roughly 1 in 7 races overall. The market believes a better run is coming, but he'll need to show it.
Best record on this ground (1 from 3)
Market favourite (5.2)
Super Value
TrackLab Insight
Stepping up two class levels after finishing 14th at Doncaster last time out, which is a significant ask. In 37 career races, Giant has won just twice — roughly 1 in every 19 — and has never won on normal or fast ground. The form figures don't suggest a horse ready to handle tougher company right now.

Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Named as the main danger by the editorial team, and the form backs that up — fourth at Lingfield just ten days ago, beaten only two and a half lengths, which is his best run in a while. He wins roughly 1 in 5 races at this distance, making him one of the more effective seven-furlong horses in the field. The catch: he has never won at Lingfield in ten attempts, which is a frustrating blind spot.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field, rated 10 pounds below the average, and carrying the lightest weight as a result. That's the disadvantage — but the upside is a run of decent recent form, including second at Lingfield just 22 days ago, beaten less than a length. He has never won at Lingfield in six tries, but he's clearly running well right now and the light weight could help him outrun his odds.
Lowest rated, 10lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 6, and the best record over this seven-furlong trip with two wins from nine races at the distance. The problem is his form on normal ground away from his favourite track, Southwell, has been modest — zero wins from three attempts on good ground. One to respect but not blindly follow.
Best record at this trip (2 from 9)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
TrackLab Insight
A seven-year-old returning after 132 days off, with three career wins from 28 races — roughly 1 in 9. All three of his recent runs have come at Lingfield, so he knows the track, and he has a decent record on normal ground with 1 win from 5 attempts here. Interesting if the break has freshened him up.
One of the more successful in the field (3 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced runner in the field with 41 career races, but both of his wins came on wet or muddy ground — and today's normal conditions mean he is racing on a surface where he has never once won. Nine attempts at Lingfield without a victory compounds the concern. Tough to see a path to the winner's enclosure here.
Among the more experienced (41 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in the field to have won over this exact course and distance, which is a meaningful edge in a race like this. Three runs back he won at Lingfield, then ran second here just a fortnight later — beaten only a neck — before dropping away to seventh last time out. Normal ground has suited him before and he gets it again today, making him one of the most interesting horses on the card.
Only course winner (1 from 9 here)
Has won over this course and distance
TrackLab Insight
Back after a 143-day break, and with only one win from 15 races, Groundsman needs everything to fall right. That lone win came at this distance on artificial ground, and his record on normal or firm turf is a blank — zero wins from eight attempts on those surfaces. Not easy to fancy at 10/1 returning from a long absence.
Mid-range in the market (10.5)
TrackLab Insight
Remarkably, this horse ran just three days ago at Newmarket and finished sixth, beaten nearly 20 lengths — and now lines up again almost immediately. Six career races, zero wins, and a single placed finish tells its own story. Hard to see why running back so quickly changes the picture.
Runs again after just 3 days
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
The longest absentee in the field, off the track for 216 days, and returning with a record of zero wins and zero places from six career races. The form figures — 10, 9, 6, 10, 4, 9 — show a horse that has consistently finished near the back. Very difficult to recommend.
Absent 216 days (longest in field)

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.
