All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The editorial nap and market favourite, and it is easy to see why — rated 7lbs clear of the field average, making it the best-handicapped horse in the race on official ratings. Has placed in half of its 10 career races, and today gets first-time cheekpieces, a piece of headgear designed to sharpen a horse's focus that often triggers improvement. The main worry is a high draw in stall 13 at a track where low draws have a big advantage.
Top rated by 7lbs
Market favourite (3.25)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Second favourite in the market despite not having raced for nearly seven months, which suggests the trainer and jockey combination — who win roughly 1 in 6 races together — see something to work with. Best effort so far was a close third at Cork, though it has been beaten well in two of its four races. The long absence is the main question mark.
2nd in the market (4.5)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Has been off the track for over seven months — the longest absence in the entire field — and has zero wins or places from four career races to its name. Closest it has come was a fourth-place finish beaten just over a length at Naas, which shows there is some ability, but that was over eight months ago. The ring rust and lengthy absence make this a big ask.
Absent 218 days (longest in field)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
By far the most experienced horse in the field with 15 races under its belt — the average here is just 4 — and yet it has never won. What keeps it interesting is the recent form: two runner-up finishes at the Curragh in the last month, beaten just half a length last time out. The problem is a high draw in stall 14 at a course where low draws win far more often, which makes life harder right from the start.
Most experienced (15 runs, field avg 4)
TrackLab Insight
Just one race on the board, a ninth at the Curragh on ground different from today's conditions, so there is almost nothing to form a view on. Racing on normal ground for the first time is another variable to factor in. Jockey Seamie Heffernan brings experience, but the horse itself is an unknown quantity.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The standout marker of three straight top-three finishes is misleading here — the data actually shows 3rd, 11th, and 2nd in the last three races, which is a mixed picture. Has never raced on normal ground before, so today's conditions are uncharted territory. The favourable low draw in stall 5 is a genuine plus at this course and distance.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
3 straight top-3 finishes
TrackLab Insight
Another first-time racer with no public form to assess. Holds the best draw in the field in stall 1 — low draws have a clear advantage at this course and distance, so at least the barriers are in its favour. On debut, that can matter more than people think.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Making its racecourse debut today, so there is no form whatsoever to judge it on. Drawn in stall 9, which sits in the mid-draw zone where horses win less often at this course. Everything about this run is an unknown.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Returns from a five-month break having finished seventh and ninth in both previous races, both on a different surface to today. Racing on normal ground for the first time adds another layer of uncertainty on top of the ring rustiness. Difficult to fancy.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One race, one ninth-place finish beaten 19 lengths — there is very little to go on. Has only raced on ground different to today's normal conditions, so this is new territory. Jockey and trainer are the same person here, which is unusual, though the yard does have a decent record overall.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One race, no win, no place — that is the entire CV for Auguste Gusteau. Both career outings have come on a different surface, so today's normal ground is a genuine unknown. There is very little to go on here.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Two races on ground different from today's normal conditions, and both efforts were well beaten — seventh and then fourteenth. The step down in form between those two runs is a concern rather than a comfort. Has not shown enough to pick out at 67-1.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Three races, three finishes deep in the pack — 23rd, 15th, and 12th — and the data flags three straight top-three finishes as a standout, which appears to be a data error given the actual form. Has never raced on normal ground and has given no sign yet of being competitive. Hard to make a case for at 100-1.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
3 straight top-3 finishes
TrackLab Insight
Three races, three unplaced finishes — the best effort was a ninth, beaten nearly 15 lengths. The jockey and trainer have yet to win together from 25 races as a combination, which adds little confidence. Hard to find an angle here.
Lightly raced (3 career races)

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.
