TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite at odds of 1.57, and the editorial selection: this horse finished second on its only career race at Newbury 20 days ago, which is a solid starting point and good enough to make it the form pick of the field. Trainer William Haggas has fired in five winners from 18 runners in the last two weeks — one of the best recent records in this race — and the Group 1 entry on this horse's profile signals that the yard believe there is serious ability to unlock. If that Newbury debut was the opening statement, today is the first real test of whether it can be backed up.

TrackLab Insight
The most encouraging piece of recent form among the 3-year-olds with race experience: Fozzie finished a close second, beaten less than a length, at Thirsk just 19 days ago. That run puts this horse ahead of most rivals on recent evidence, and trainer Kevin Ryan has recorded a winner in the last two weeks. With only three career races, there is still plenty of upside to find — this is one of the more credible challengers to the favourite.
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Also making a racecourse debut, but this one comes with a very significant detail: Mehmas Champion is rated 17lbs higher than the average runner in this field, making this horse the top-rated by a clear margin despite never having raced publicly. Jockey Daniel Tudhope has ridden five winners in the last two weeks, and trainer David O'Meara has six during the same period — this is a well-supported combination arriving in form. A debut always carries uncertainty, but the official rating and the team behind this horse demand attention.

TrackLab Insight
Two races in and showing signs of improvement — a ninth on debut was followed by a third place finish at Newcastle three weeks ago, which is a step in the right direction. Like Jimmy's Army, this horse has never raced on normal turf before, having run only on artificial surfaces so far, so today represents an unknown test. Wind surgery in the past suggests the yard have been working to get the best out of this horse.

TrackLab Insight
A promising debut third at Newcastle is the only form on offer here, but that race was over five months ago — the longest absence of any horse in this field. Today is also the first time this horse will race on normal turf, having only experienced artificial surfaces before. Both the lengthy break and the unfamiliar ground make this a tricky one to assess, even with that encouraging debut placing on the record.

TrackLab Insight
One race under the belt, finishing sixth at Beverley two weeks ago — modest on the face of it, but at least there is something to build on for this lightly raced 3-year-old. Jockey Connor Beasley has four winners in the last two weeks and trainer Edward Bethell has two, so the team arrives in decent nick. Still very much a horse with more questions than answers at this stage of its career.
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
No racecourse experience at all, so this is a complete unknown on debut. Bred by Masar — winner of the 2018 Epsom Derby — there is pedigree interest here, but breeding only tells part of the story and the market at 51/1 suggests limited confidence. Trainer Brian Ellison and jockey Ben Robinson are yet to combine for a winner in the last two weeks.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
At five years old, this is comfortably the most experienced horse in the field, having finished in the money four times from five career races. However, the most recent run — a distant seventh just eleven days ago — wasn't encouraging, and this mile trip at Redcar is a very different test to the longer distances where this horse has shown its best form. Odds of 101/1 suggest even the market has moved on.
Best record on this ground (1 from 3)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 5)
TrackLab Insight
Five years old and making a first ever racecourse appearance — most horses debut at two or three, so this is unusually late and gives us absolutely nothing to go on in terms of public form. There is simply no way to assess the chances here, and the 101/1 odds reflect just how much of an unknown quantity this horse is. An intriguing mystery, but not one the market is backing to be solved today.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
One race, one finish — 14th, beaten over 21 lengths at Thirsk just 19 days ago. That is a difficult start to a career, though a single outing tells you very little about a young horse's long-term potential. Odds of 151/1 tell their own story about how the market views the chances here.
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One race on the board — a seventh at Southwell — but that race was run on an artificial surface, meaning today on normal turf at Redcar is genuinely new territory for this horse. Trainer Grant Tuer has had two winners from just six runners in the last fortnight, which is a solid recent record. Very much an open book, but the switch to turf adds another layer of uncertainty.

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.
