All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by a clear 7lbs, which is a significant advantage in a small six-runner race. Its last run was a close fourth in what the editorial describes as a hot race at Newbury, so it was competing at a high level and wasn't disgraced. That experience over weaker rivals here makes it the clear favourite, and the trainer has a strong record with this jockey, winning roughly 1 in 3 races together.
Top rated by 7lbs
Lightly raced (2 career races)
Market favourite (1.62)
TrackLab Insight
Three races and three finishes inside the top three — this horse keeps showing up but has never converted a win. It drops two class levels today, which is the most interesting angle: if it has been competitive against stronger horses, it could finally get over the line against easier rivals. The concern is whether it has the finishing kick to turn all those near-misses into a victory.
Drops 2 classes from usual level
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The longest absence in the field by a wide margin — this horse hasn't raced in 147 days, and its only career run came on a different surface and ground type to what it faces today. One third-place finish is the sum total of its experience, making it the most difficult horse to assess in the race. Stepping back in after nearly five months off is a big ask against rivals with more recent form.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (1 career races)
Absent 147 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field with a win at today's distance of a mile and a quarter, which gives it a clear edge on paper. However, it has never raced on normal ground before, so there's a genuine unknown about how it will handle today's conditions. Wearing cheekpieces and with odds drifting sharply from near-evens to 12s, the market is sending a cautious signal.
Only winner at this distance
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
This horse has only raced once in its life and finished seventh, beaten over 16 lengths at Newbury — the longest losing margin of any runner here. There is almost nothing to go on, and at odds of 42s the market reflects just how much of an unknown quantity it is. It is essentially here to learn.

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.
