All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The market has made this the favourite, and on raw numbers it is easy to see why — three wins from just six races, including back-to-back top-level victories at Newmarket. However, this is only a four-year-old with limited experience, and the field average official rating has several rivals rated just as high, so this is no foregone conclusion.
Market favourite (4.6)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The longest absence of any horse in this field — not raced for over ten months — which is the single biggest red flag here, especially stepping straight back into the top level. When fit, the record is solid with four wins from nine races and top-level wins at Newmarket and Goodwood, but four consecutive finishes outside the top three suggest this horse arrived at a flat spell even before the lengthy break.
Absent 308 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
The editorial nap pick, and the raw numbers back it up: four wins from five career races is the best win rate in the entire field, and three of those wins have come over today's exact distance of one mile. The only blemish on the record is a third-place finish at Sandown three weeks ago, and with the lowest-numbered draw in a field where low draws have the best record at this course, conditions set up well.
Best record at this trip (3 from 4)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 1)
Trainer Quotes
Mar 2026
"A very exciting horse, it's just a shame Sheikh Mohammed Obaid isn't around to see him. Hopefully, he turns out as good as we've hoped. He's very straightforward and has a high cruising speed and a turn of foot. We could go straight to the Lockinge or we could take in the Sandown Mile as a prep run. He'd have a penalty but he's more than capable of handling that. He's very forward, is working nicely and is fit. Newbury and the Queen Anne are the key early targets. 31-03-26"
TrackLab Insight
The data says this horse is making its racecourse debut, which would make it the least experienced runner in the field by a considerable distance — every single rival here has already competed at the top level. Racing for the first time in a Group 1 worth over £226,000 is an enormous ask, and there is simply no form to work with when assessing its chances.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Won here at Newbury last time out, which is a strong tick, and has the best record on normal ground conditions of any horse in the field — two wins from four races on a surface just like today's. The question is fitness: this horse has not raced in roughly nine months and returning from a long break to take on a Group 1 is a significant ask, however talented the horse may be.
Best record on this ground (2 from 4)
TrackLab Insight
Arrives here in form after winning at Leopardstown a month ago, and has a solid record of placing in the top three consistently against top-level rivals. The odds have drifted from 7.5 to 9.2 despite that recent win, suggesting the market is slightly cooler on its chances here than it was — worth noting before getting too excited.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in the field who has actually won at this course — taking a top-level race at Newbury back in April — and arrives here in good form after winning at Ascot just two weeks ago. Despite that, the official rating of 113 is the lowest in the entire field by some margin, sitting six points below the average, meaning this horse is officially rated well below its rivals today.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of horses in this field who has actually won around this course, which counts for something. The concern is that his best form has come on soft or muddy ground — he wins just 1 in 7 on normal conditions like today, and he was beaten nearly eight lengths last time out at Sandown. Hard to trust at 31/1 given that ground record.
Has won over this course and distance
TrackLab Insight
One of the few course winners in the field, but current form makes that feel like a distant memory — sixth, thirteenth, and eighth in three consecutive runs, beaten by nearly ten lengths in the last two. The jockey and trainer have combined to win just once from 27 attempts together, which is a difficult number to look past at odds of 44/1.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
The official rating of 99 is a full 17 points below the field average — the biggest gap of any horse in the race — which in a top-level mile race is a very significant disadvantage on paper. Running again just six days after its last outing is also unusual at this level, and the odds of 140/1 reflect just how big a task this horse faces against some of the best milers in training.

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.
