Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The clear favourite and the most obvious reason why — he won right here at Perth just 19 days ago, making him the only course winner in the field at this exact distance. He is also the youngest horse in the race at five years old, has the best win rate among all ten runners, and the editorial verdict backs him to defy a 5lb penalty for that win. The new jockey is an unknown factor, but everything else points his way.
Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
Market favourite (2.56)
TrackLab Insight
Second-highest rated in the field and he shows up every time, but 34 races and only 2 wins tells its own story. Crucially, he has never won at Perth in five attempts, and on normal ground like today he has a blank record — his only win came on much wetter, muddier ground. Hard to make a case for him here.
2nd highest rated (OR 97)
Trainer Quotes
Dec 2024
"He's a very nice horse. He had a lovely run last time when third at Carlisle in a race that's working out well. The ground was on the soft side for him then, so we'll look for better ground. He'll go for another hurdle race over Christmas if the ground is right or he could have a run on the all-weather. We'll probably go chasing with him next season. 11-12-24"
TrackLab Insight
Twelve races and still no win — the longest losing run among the winless horses in this field. A second place at Carlisle 39 days ago showed some promise, but he then finished a well-beaten fourth at Kelso next time, and the trainer has had no winners from his last four runners. This jockey-trainer partnership does win regularly together, but the horse itself hasn't found a way to get the job done yet.
Winless from 12 career races
TrackLab Insight
Six races, zero wins, zero places — the worst record in the field by that measure, and nothing in the recent form suggests a turnaround is coming. He has never raced on normal ground before, so today is an unknown, but back-to-back sevenths at Carlisle and a ninth at Newcastle before that are not the form lines of a horse about to break through. Hard to find a reason to be optimistic.
Never raced on normal ground
TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by 3lbs, yet nine races into her career she is still waiting for a first win — a record that is hard to ignore. Her odds drifting dramatically from 1.1 to 8.0 before the race suggests those closest to the market have serious doubts. She keeps finishing in the mix without ever getting to the front.
Top rated by 3lbs
TrackLab Insight
His most recent run at Hexham 30 days ago is listed without a finishing position, which makes him genuinely hard to assess right now. Before that he was sixth and pulled up — a tough sequence — and at odds of 19.0 the market isn't convinced. Two wins from 26 races is a modest record, and with limited recent data available, this is largely a punt in the dark.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
His one standout positive is a solid record on normal ground — winning 1 from 3 races on similar conditions — but his recent form has been alarming: 8th, 9th, and 14th in his last three races, beaten a long way each time. He has also never won on a galloping-style track, and Perth fits that description. Today looks like a tough assignment.
Best record on this ground (1 from 3)
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field with 35 races — nearly double the field average — but only one win to show for it, and that came on normal ground which is at least a tick in his favour today. He ran at Perth just 19 days ago and finished sixth, beaten nearly 30 lengths, so the course form is fresh and uninspiring. This jockey-trainer pairing has never won together in six attempts.
Most experienced (35 runs, field avg 18)
TrackLab Insight
He hasn't raced in over eight months, which is the longest absence in the field alongside Prince Nino, and that layoff is a real concern. Before that break he ran fifth at this very course, and had back-to-back thirds at Cartmel, so there is some ability there — but returning from such a long time off without a win in nine career races makes this a speculative option at best.
Mid-range in the market (12.0)
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field by some margin — 13lbs below the field average — and he hasn't raced in a full year. But there is one genuinely striking fact: he has won over this exact course and distance before, making him the only other horse in the field besides the favourite with a win at this track. The long absence and poor recent form make it hard to back him, but the course record is real.

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.
