TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by some margin, sitting 11lbs above the average, and he arrives in the best form of his life — three consecutive second-place finishes at Sedgefield show a horse knocking hard on the door. The worry is that all seven of his races on dry ground have ended without a win, which is exactly the conditions he faces today. Still, the editorial verdict points his way, and consistent horses in form are hard to ignore.
One of the more successful in the field (1 career wins)
Trainer Quotes
Mar 2026
"He ran at Doncaster on Saturday when unfortunately he unseated. He's absolutely fine, it was just one of those things - he just put in an extra stride. The time before he ran right-handed at Musselburgh and didn't enjoy that. He's still going to be competitive over hurdles having won at Sedgefield in the autumn. He'll go novice handicap chasing after we give him another run over hurdles. He's going to make a lovely novice handicap chaser next season. 04-03-26"
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The second-highest rated horse in the race and one of the most consistent in the field, placing in eight of his ten races with a sequence that reads second, second, first, second, second, third across his last six outings. He actually has a decent record on dry ground — winning one from five attempts at around that rate — though he's never won when the ground has had any give in it. His odds have drifted slightly on race day, which is worth noting.
2nd highest rated (OR 106)
TrackLab Insight
He carries the lowest weight in the field and is rated 14lbs below average, but crucially he is the only horse in this field who has won at Stratford — doing so once from three races here — and he has two wins from seven races at this exact distance of just over two miles. The concern is his record on left-handed, galloping tracks like this one: zero wins from eight attempts. He knows the course, but that stat is a real red flag.
Lowest rated, 14lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
Only course winner (1 from 3 here)
Best record at this trip (2 from 7)
TrackLab Insight
She ran at this very course just 28 days ago and finished ninth, beaten over 23 lengths, so Stratford holds no obvious appeal for her based on recent evidence. She's the lowest-rated horse alongside Cawthorne Cracker and is yet to win in five races, with just one place finish to her name. Her odds have drifted significantly on race day, which doesn't inspire confidence.
Never raced on dry ground
TrackLab Insight
Like Definite Dream, he has never raced on the dry ground he'll face today, so this trip to Stratford is genuinely uncharted territory. He's been kept busy — racing just 11 days ago — but his last two runs were a fifth and a fourth, beaten a long way each time. Still winless after eight races, he looks hard to back with confidence.
Never raced on dry ground
TrackLab Insight
The biggest question mark in the field: she hasn't raced in 314 days, the longest absence of any runner here, and has never once raced on dry ground. Her jockey and trainer have never won together in seven attempts, and she's yet to win in nine career races. There's simply too much working against her today.

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.
