TrackLab Insight
The market favourite (3.4) with the best win rate in the field (1 in 4 races) and momentum to burn—he's won at both Ayr and Musselburgh in his last six races, with a recent 1st at Ayr just 42 days ago. He's a 7-year-old hitting form at the right time, ideally suited by this distance, though the jockey-trainer pairing is new.

TrackLab Insight
Lowest rated in the field and carrying the least weight, he's found form recently with 1st, 2nd, 1st, 3rd finishes in his last four races before a 4th three weeks ago—but a 8% career win rate and zero wins on standard ground (where he races today) expose the limits of that recent improvement. He's a marathon horse over this distance, yet his track record suggests he'll struggle here.

Trainer Quotes
May 2025
"I struggle to buy horses at the horses-in-training sales, but I bought him off Tom Malone. He ran well when second at Ayr last Thursday when just denied by a head. We're not sure about his trip as he was a hurdler we bought but we've handicapped him. We think he's a nice horse and I'll be disappointed if we don't win a few races with him, but I might have bought a hurdler. He's got ability and it's just finding the right trip for him. 07-05-25"

TrackLab Insight
The editorial selection and one of only two course winners here, with a recent 2nd at Catterick just 39 days ago—she competes hard and finishes in the money roughly two-thirds of the time. At 8 years old she knows her trade, suits the 2m distance (20% win rate there), and while the ratings suggest she's outsized, her Musselburgh win and progressive profile make her the call.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
This horse transforms entirely on good ground, winning 3 from 8 times there versus nothing from 11 starts on softer surfaces—but today's normal conditions fall outside his sweet spot. He's a Musselburgh winner with recent form to respect (2nd at Ayr 18 days ago), yet the draw in stall 1 gives him a statistical headwind at this track (10% win rate from low draws).
Best record on this ground (3 from 8)
TrackLab Insight
A course specialist at Musselburgh with 3 wins from 19 starts there, and a 2nd-place finish here just 56 days ago gives him live recent form for this contest. Best at this distance (2 from 9 races), but he's yet to win on standard ground in three attempts, and his record on surfaces drier than good-to-soft reads as a real concern today.
Best record at this trip (2 from 9)
TrackLab Insight
Nine races, zero wins, and just two placed finishes tells you this is a horse struggling to deliver at this level—he hasn't even finished in the top three in his last six runs. Rated second-highest on paper, but the odds have drifted from 1.1 to 19.0 for good reason: the form simply doesn't stack up.
2nd highest rated (OR 74)

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.
