TrackLab Insight
Modern Times is the market favourite at 4.7 and raced just 1 day ago with a 3rd at Musselburgh, showing recent consistency of sorts across his last six races (1st-3rd-5th-3rd-6th-5th). However, he's won only 1 in 20 races and has never won on standard ground, which makes the odds feel tight given how tight the ratings are at the top of the field.
Best record at this trip (1 from 4)
Market favourite (4.7)
TrackLab Insight
Fifty Nifty won a Class 2 race at Newmarket in August 2024, suggesting he has quality, but recent form has been disappointing with finishes of 7th, 8th and 5th in his last three outings. At just 2 wins from 17 races (1 in 8 or 9) and with a 38-day gap since Newmarket, he looks out of form.
Mid-range in the market (11.0)
Trainer Quotes
May 2025
"He clearly wasn't right at Newmarket last time as he was running with his head in the air. I don't know whether he got his tongue over the bit or something. Sometimes at Newmarket horses just have a bad experience and don't run up to scratch. He wouldn't have blown a candle out afterwards and he's clearly better than that. It's unfortunate it happened but hopefully we can get him back on track and go from there. We'd like to give him a couple of weeks in the paddock and, while we were hoping he'd go to Ascot, that looks unlikely at this stage. It would be nice to get him back to the July course, where he's won. We like him a lot. 14-05-25"
TrackLab Insight
Bright boasts one of the better win rates in the field at roughly 1 in 5 races and is a course specialist at Newcastle with 3 wins from 10 starts. Recent form is a concern—he's finished 8th, 7th and 12th in his last three outings—but the class level and course form suggest he's capable if he can return to form.
One of the more successful in the field (6 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The editorial selection is a genuine water-lover who wins 1 in 3 on soft or muddy ground but has never won on faster surfaces—today's normal tapeta ground is neither ideal nor impossible for him. At odds of 6.0 he's clearly respected, but his recent form is patchy (4th, 10th, 4th) and racing on an artificial surface that doesn't suit his profile is a real concern.
2nd in the market (6.0)
Trainer Quotes
Apr 2024
"It was incredible that it took us so long to win with him last season, but he was just doing too much too early in his races. I told Jamie Spencer to get him settled when he ran at Nottingham, which he did, and he picked up great and won nicely. He did the same thing next time at York and should be one who progresses again this season in those big sprint handicaps. 04-04-24"
TrackLab Insight
Secret Guest brings the most race experience here with 45 career outings, but his recent form is poor and he's yet to win at Southwell in 5 attempts despite racing there regularly. He wins roughly 1 in 9 races and has never landed a win on soft ground, which limits his appeal even if he's a workmanlike type.
Among the more experienced (45 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Belsito has been placed in 2 of his last 3 races and won a competitive race at Hamilton 53 days ago, but his form is patchy—he's won 1 in 6 races overall and has never won on standard ground. The long break since that Hamilton win raises questions about whether he's still sharp enough for this field.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Monsieur Kodi is the most experienced horse in the field with 57 races and has won a Class 2 race at Goodwood, but his recent form has flatlined—a 2nd at Wolverhampton 10 days ago is his only piece of encouragement in recent weeks. At seven years old running in a Class 5 handicap, this looks like a horse whose best days are behind him.
Most experienced (57 runs, field avg 28)
TrackLab Insight
D Flawless is a 5-year-old mare who raced just 18 days ago and has been placed in 2 of her last 3 starts, showing steady form. Her record on standard ground is excellent at 2 wins from 5 starts (40%), which directly suits today's conditions, though her career win rate of 1 in 8 races is modest.
Mid-range in the market (16.0)
TrackLab Insight
Beyond Borders has the best win rate in the entire field at roughly 1 in 4 races and an exceptional record on standard ground: 3 wins from just 4 starts (75%). He's the standout value play here, though a recent 6th at Nottingham suggests he may need this run after a 23-day break.
Best record on this ground (3 from 4)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 4)
TrackLab Insight
Cairdeas is a 4-year-old who has placed in 2 of his last 3 races, showing he can be competitive, but his single career win came 22 months ago and his record of 1 win in 17 races is well below average. The youth and form hints at potential, but data suggests he's outclassed in this field.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Pickersgill is the lowest-rated runner in the field and carries the least weight, a 4-year-old with 2 wins from 17 races. She's placed in nearly half her outings and raced 22 days ago at Southwell with a 2nd-place finish, suggesting she knows this track—but that's about the only advantage she carries here.
Lowest rated, 5lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
TrackLab Insight
Hierarchy has won here at Southwell before and is one of the better-rated runners in the field, but his recent form has cratered with a 10th at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. At seven years old and with a modest 1-in-11 win rate, he looks to be heading in the wrong direction despite his course knowledge.
Has won over this course and distance
TrackLab Insight
Not Me is a minor player with just 1 win from 13 races and struggles on standard ground (0 wins from 5 starts), which is exactly what he faces today. His sole win came at Chester 45 days ago, but recent efforts have been mediocre and there's little here to encourage backing.

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.
