All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite and the standout performer in this field, winning 2 of just 3 career races — roughly two in every three times it has raced. Bounced back smartly from a poor run at Wetherby to win at Exeter 30 days ago, and the editorial view is that this longer 2m 6f trip could unlock even more improvement. The one genuine question mark is that it has never raced on dry ground before, which every runner in this field shares, but that lack of certainty hasn't spooked the market.

Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The most respected rival to the favourite, though its odds have drifted significantly from 2.63 out to 4.8, which suggests the market has cooled on its chances. It has only raced twice under hurdles rules, but a runner-up finish at Fontwell 51 days ago shows it is competitive — even if it was beaten 17 lengths. Zero wins from two career races means it still needs to find something extra to beat a horse with Our Guide's record.
Never raced on dry ground
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Three races and still no win or placed finish, with finishing positions of fourth, tenth, and seventh telling a story of a horse that gets into races but hasn't threatened at the business end yet. That tenth-place finish at Ffos Las — beaten over 100 lengths — stands out as a particularly rough day, and it returns just 23 days later. Like every runner here, it has never raced on dry ground, so conditions are an unknown for the whole field.
Never raced on dry ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The most straightforward case for caution in the field: two career races, zero wins, zero places, and it hasn't been seen on a racecourse for roughly six months. Its best finish was fourth at Doncaster, but a distant ninth last time out at Southwell suggests it has struggled to build on that. Wearing a hood today, and with very little evidence to go on, this is largely an unknown quantity returning from a long break.

Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The most unexposed horse in the race in the starkest possible sense: just one career race, which ended in a pull-up at Cheltenham, and it hasn't been seen since — a gap of 380 days, the longest absence in the field by a wide margin. Has had wind surgery since that run, which at least suggests the yard identified a problem and tried to fix it, but there is almost no evidence to work with here. At odds of 101, the market is treating this as a very long shot on its return.

Absent 380 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
The youngest horse in the race at four years old, with just two outings to its name — a fifth place and a pull-up at Ffos Las 35 days ago. That pull-up is a concern, and the odds drifting from 51 out to 67 suggests the market isn't confident about a quick turnaround. With no win and no placed finish from two career races, it needs a significant step forward to trouble the principals here.
Never raced on dry ground
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Three races, no wins, no places, and the most recent outing ended in a pull-up at Hereford five months ago — the form figures make for grim reading. Returning from a lengthy absence and drifting further out to 126 in the market, it is hard to find a meaningful angle from the available data. The lightest weight in the field offers a small theoretical edge, but the evidence of what this horse can do on a racecourse is thin and mostly discouraging.

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.
