TrackLab Insight
The market favourite carries the lowest weight and has the best win rate in the field at 43% (3 wins from 7 races), with three straight wins that include a victory just this week. At only three years old, she's significantly younger than her rivals and her recent form is firing on all cylinders — though stepping up to 2m 1f is uncharted territory.

TrackLab Insight
Three wins from 14 races shows decent form, but the warning light is flashing red: zero wins from five starts on fast, dry ground like today. Recent efforts have been disappointing (9th, 11th, 5th in last three), though the form line at Haydock does suggest he has a preferred track.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"I thought he ran like he was a little bit rusty on his comeback. He's got entries in a one-mile-six-furlong handicap at the Guineas meeting and the Chester Cup, but William Buick suggested coming back in trip, so Newmarket is the most likely of his options. I'm sure he'll come on for Friday's run and it wouldn't surprise me to see him land a big one this season. 21-04-26"
TrackLab Insight
The standout here: only course winner in the field (1 from 1 at Pontefract) and only horse with a winning record at this exact distance. Five wins from 23 races at a 22% win rate shows solid class, though recent form is mixed and he's raced every single day of this week.

Trainer Quotes
May 2025
"He's been frustrating at the start of this year. We did such a good job with him last year, so it just swings and roundabouts. We've given him a couple of runs and he was a little bit better at Thirsk, but he was still playing games. I've taken my foot off the accelerator a bit and we're treating him for ulcers and various health things. He had quite a hard season last year so maybe we're paying for it, but I'm sure he'll bounce back. He's still got an engine. 07-05-25"

TrackLab Insight
This is the form horse: three straight wins and three consecutive top-3 finishes, with an exceptional 75% record on fast, dry ground (3 wins from 4 starts). At 29% career win rate and carrying a 17-day rest, Sixty Plus looks genuinely primed for this surface and trip.
Best record on this ground (3 from 4)
3 straight top-3 finishes

TrackLab Insight
Lowest-rated in the field by some margin and recent form has been poor (7th, 6th, 12th in last three). The 4-year-old does have some dry-ground form (1 win from 3 starts), but that's modest encouragement given he's racing out of his depth here.
Lowest rated, 7lbs below average
TrackLab Insight
The editorial favourite sits as a 10-year-old with zero wins from four races and zero places — a complete blank record. Never having raced on dry ground before makes this a genuine shot in the dark, and recent form figures of 13-8-11-10 tell a grim story of consistent also-ran finishes.
Never raced on dry ground

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.
