TrackLab Insight
The one to beat, and the data backs it up. She is the only horse in this field who has already won at Nottingham over this exact distance, doing it just 13 days ago, and she is rated 4lbs clear of the next best-rated rival. The market has drifted but she remains favourite, and there is little reason to look elsewhere.

TrackLab Insight
The key unknown here is that Empirical has never raced on normal ground — all three of his races to date have come on artificial surfaces, so today is genuinely uncharted territory. He also arrives after a 101-day break, meaning there are two big questions to answer before he can be seriously considered.

TrackLab Insight
One of the least experienced horses here with just three races under his belt, and he has yet to win any of them. That said, he has finished in the top three twice and is lightly raced enough that improvement is genuinely possible — you just cannot be sure when it will arrive.

TrackLab Insight
Five races and not a single top-three finish to her name — Glasgow Kiss has been consistently just off the pace without ever threatening to break through. Her most recent run was a distant eighth, beaten 25 lengths, and nothing in her record suggests this mile at Nottingham will change the picture.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by some distance — ten races compared to a field average of five — yet he has not managed to win any of them. He has been placed five times so finishes close regularly, and back-to-back thirds in his last two runs show he is in consistent form, but converting that into a win remains the unsolved problem.

Won 1 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
He arrives here on the back of a win at Wolverhampton 46 days ago, which gives him recent momentum, but he is the lowest-rated horse in the field — 5lbs below the average — and carries the lightest weight as a result. He has something to find with Valkyrie Storm on official ratings, and this looks a step up in class from where he won last.

Jockey Form
4.9
Jockey in form (1 wins in 14 days) Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Three races in and still without a win, with two seventh-place finishes in her last two outings making it hard to argue for her here. She holds the widest low-draw position in the field at stall one, but on current form she looks up against it at 21.0.
Lightly raced (3 career races)

Freshness Form
2.2
Fresh (254 days off) Won 1 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Technically the joint-best win rate in the field at one win from five races, but the big problem is she has not raced in 254 days — by far the longest absence of any runner here. Returning from roughly eight months off, with no recent racecourse evidence to go on, makes her a real leap of faith.

D. Costello · M. Walford · 3yo · 9st 1lb · OR 62
Form
1.6
Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
The longest-priced horse in the race at 34.0, and the form gives you little reason to argue with the bookmakers. No wins from four races, a seventh last time out at Ripon, and a rating that sits 4lbs below the field average — she is up against it here in every measurable sense.

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.
