All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
Despite being sent off as the market favourite, this horse has never won in 16 career races — more attempts than any other winless horse in the field. It sits in the best draw position of all the fancied runners, stall 1 being in the favoured low-draw band, and its recent form is active. But punters willing it to finally break its duck have been waiting a long time.
Market favourite (5.4)
Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"I've been dying for him to win for his owners. He's been unlucky, finishing second four times. He's a right playboy and he's not as fast as he thinks he is. I'm sure once he gets his head in front he'll win two or three in a row. 29-04-26"
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Seventeen races and still no win, but this horse has placed nine times, so it keeps finishing close without quite getting over the line. The big plus today is jockey Kieran Shoemark, who has been in red-hot form recently — winning 4 from 12 rides in the last two weeks, the best form figures among the jockeys in this field. Drawn in stall 3, which sits in the favoured low draw band at Windsor.
Jockey in best form (4 from 12 last 2wk)
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in the field who has already won over this exact course and distance, and it has a perfect record on dry ground — three wins from three attempts on it. The catch is a seven-month absence, and its last run before that break was a distant 14th, so it needs to bounce back sharply from that form.

TrackLab Insight
Only three career races makes this the least experienced horse in the field, and it hasn't run for nearly seven months. It has also never raced on dry ground, so there are more question marks here than answers. The jockey-trainer combination does have a solid record together — 14 wins from 61 races — but there is simply not enough data to call this with confidence.

Lightly raced (3 career races)
Trainer in best form (1 from 10 last 2wk)
TrackLab Insight
Nine career wins from 37 races makes this one of the most experienced and successful horses in the field — wins roughly 1 in 4 races over its career. However, the last six runs read 9th, 6th, 11th, 11th, 10th and 3rd, and it has never won on dry ground in five attempts. A big reputation that current form doesn't support.
One of the more successful in the field (9 career wins)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Seven wins and 12 places from 29 career races is a solid record, but this horse is stepping down two class levels today after back-to-back 12th and 14th-place finishes in stronger races. It also hasn't run for roughly five months and has never won on dry ground in four attempts. The class drop is the one thing in its favour.
Steps up 2 classes
TrackLab Insight
This horse has been off the track for 387 days — the longest absence of any runner today — which makes it a huge unknown stepping back in. It did win last time out before that long break, which at least means it returns on a positive note. With only five career races total, there is very little data to work from, and a year away from racing is a significant hurdle to overcome.
Absent 387 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
The editorial pick for this race, and you can see why — this horse finished second at Windsor last season and has been placed in two of its last three races overall. That said, the Thirsk run 19 days ago was a poor 10th, and it has never won on the dry ground it faces today from 9 attempts. The form suggests it belongs here, but the ground record is a genuine concern.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Rated 7lbs below the field average — the lowest official rating of any runner here — which tells you the handicapper views this horse as the least likely to win. One win from 22 races, and that victory came over two and a half years ago. The fourth-place finish at Lingfield last month shows some life, but this horse carries too many negatives to get excited about.
Lowest rated, 7lbs below average
TrackLab Insight
Just one win from 22 races, and the last two runs were an 11th and a 12th — the form has fallen away sharply. The jockey and trainer have never won together in 22 attempts, which is an uncomfortable statistic heading into today. The official rating here is the lowest among the main group, which reflects where the horse currently stands.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
No wins from seven races and a recent run of poor finishes — 6th, 12th and 7th in succession — make this a hard sell. The standout concern is that this horse has never raced on dry ground, so today's conditions are a complete unknown. At odds of 36, the market is not wrong to be sceptical.
Never raced on dry ground
TrackLab Insight
Carries the joint-lowest weight in the field, which in a race like this can be a genuine advantage — lighter horses have less to lug around. However, this horse has never won on the good ground it faces today from seven attempts, and its last six finishes read 5th, 8th, 4th, 6th, 7th, 7th. New jockey partnership today too, adding 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.
