The market favourite, and the only horse in this field with a win in the last week — she scored at Bath just three days ago, which is an unusually quick turnaround. She carries the best win rate in the field at 1 in 5, but that high draw in stall 15 is a real concern: horses drawn up there at this course and distance win only 4% of the time, compared to 12% for those in the low draws.

The best thing about Hares Bredth's chances is the draw — stall 1 is in the prime low-draw bracket that produces the most winners at this course and distance. However, five races without a win or a place finish, and form figures trending in the wrong direction, mean the draw alone isn't enough to get excited about.

Ran at this exact course 17 days ago and finished third, beaten just one and a half lengths — that recent placed finish here makes it one of the more course-relevant runners in the field. The middle draw in stall 12 is less favourable statistically, but fresh form on this track is a genuine plus in a race where most rivals have nothing of the sort.
The editorial tip for this race, and the data gives you a reason to understand why — placed in two of the last three outings, including a near-miss second at Newcastle beaten a whisker. The suggestion is that dropping back to six furlongs today could suit, and a mid-draw in stall 9 is reasonable if not ideal at this course.
The most experienced horse in the field by some distance — 12 races compared to a field average of six — and while a first win has never arrived, five placed finishes show this is a horse that regularly runs into contention. Two third-place finishes in recent outings, including one just five weeks ago, suggest it is in reasonable nick.

The lowest-rated horse in the field, four pounds below average, and stepping up two class levels today — that's a tough combination for a horse that has never won or placed in four races. The jockey is in the form of his life right now, winning 4 from 12 in the last two weeks, which is the one bright spot worth noting.

Among the least experienced horses here with just four races under its belt, and none of those have produced a win or a place. A distant 11th last time out at Nottingham, beaten eight and a half lengths, doesn't point to a turnaround any time soon.
Consistently finishing fifth — literally three times in the last three recorded runs — Ganthorpe is a horse that gets close without ever threatening to win. The trainer is in decent recent form, winning 3 from 22 in the last two weeks, which is the main thing working in this horse's favour.
Here's an unusual flag: Dream Forever has never raced on normal ground before, having run all eight of its races on other surfaces — so today's conditions are genuinely unknown territory. The form swings wildly too, from a near-miss second just 86 days ago to a distant 13th last time out, making this hard to read.
Wearing blinkers today as the yard look for an answer to a horse that finished 12th last time at Newcastle. Six races in with just one placed finish and a 23/1 price tag, Brain Freeze is one of the longer shots in a field that doesn't have many standout performers.
Despite being the second highest-rated horse in the field on official figures, Kwidsin has zero wins and zero places from four races — so the rating doesn't yet reflect any real racecourse achievement. Finishing 10th last time out at Southwell, beaten nearly seven lengths, makes it hard to build a case here.

Five races, no wins, no places, and a 82-day absence since the last run — there isn't much in the data to build a case around here. The visor is new headgear, which sometimes signals a fresh approach, but the form figures of 10th, 8th, 4th, 5th, and 7th don't suggest a win is close.

The only horse in this entire field with a win over today's six-furlong trip — and crucially, that win came at this exact distance, giving it a clear edge on paper over rivals who haven't proven themselves here. On today's normal ground conditions, its record reads one win from three races, compared to zero from three on a different surface, so the conditions suit.

Absent for roughly six months — the longest break of any horse in this field — Powernap returns with no wins from six races and just one placed finish to show for it. A hood is fitted today, but coming back after that length of time into a race this competitive asks plenty of questions.
Steps up two class levels today, which is a significant ask for a horse that has never won or placed in four races. The last two results — 7th and 10th, beaten enormous distances — don't inspire confidence for a move into tougher company.
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.
