TrackLab Insight
The standout course specialist in the field — six wins from 16 races at Windsor is a remarkable record and impossible to ignore. At nine years old and with three consecutive top-three finishes heading into today, this horse is in form and clearly thrives here. The one flag is that its single win at this course on normal ground stands against 31 attempts overall on this type of surface — most of its Windsor wins have come on faster ground.

Trainer Quotes
Aug 2024
"He ran at Windsor last week in a Sprint Series Qualifier and I thought he was a bit disappointing - he finished last of eight. I thought he might show a little bit more, so we'll have to have a look at him for the next week and see where he goes next. He won't be going to Brighton. 07-08-24"
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the editorial pick, and for good reason — this horse was beaten by just a whisker at Goodwood just 16 days ago over this same five-furlong trip. Drawn in stall 3, which is in the most favourable part of the track, and in good recent form with back-to-back second-place finishes. The only real flag is that its one career win came on good ground, not normal conditions, but its best form overall lines up well with today.
Best record on this ground (1 from 5)
Market favourite (6.4)
TrackLab Insight
Six career wins from 43 races gives this horse a solid if unspectacular record, and it has placed in over half its career races. The concern is that it has never won on normal ground or on fast, dry ground — and today's conditions don't match where this horse has done its best work. Fourth last time at Lingfield is workmanlike but nothing more.
One of the more successful in the field (6 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in every 4 races across 34 outings — but recent form has fallen off sharply, with a ninth and a tenth in two of the last three runs. Windsor is also a right-handed, undulating course, and this horse has not won in five attempts on tracks with that layout. Hard to get excited given the current form.
Best career win rate in field (1 in 4)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Placed in two of the last three races and has a decent overall record of five wins from 23 outings, but there's a concern worth flagging: this horse has not won on normal ground in three attempts. On top of that, its record on right-handed galloping tracks — like Windsor — reads just one win from ten races. Consistent enough to be competitive, but conditions here don't obviously suit.

Trainer Quotes
May 2025
"He's a lovely horse and it was great to see him run well at Wolverhampton the other day after losing his form through the winter. He looks really well and he'll go to Windsor next. Hopefully he can carry on improving and win plenty of races. 14-05-25"
TrackLab Insight
One win from 15 races and a sixth-place finish last time out doesn't make for compelling reading, and this horse has never won on normal ground in five attempts. There is a Windsor run on the record — a fifth here about a year ago — so the course isn't new, but the form since has done little to suggest a win is coming. Hard to make a strong case.
2nd highest rated (OR 74)
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of course winners in the field, having won at Windsor before, which is a genuine positive. But a seventh-place finish at Goodwood just 17 days ago — beaten over nine lengths — is poor recent form, and there has been no win in the last 21 months. The course form keeps this horse relevant, but it needs to find more.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Three races into its career and Shavkat has finished in the top three every single time, including a win — that's a perfect record for consistency, even if the sample is tiny. The problem is this horse has never raced on normal ground before, so today is a genuine unknown. Drawn high in stall 12, which is the worst part of the track at this distance, this is a horse with questions to answer.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of horses in this field with a win at Windsor to their name, which matters on a track where course experience can count. That said, recent form is poor — beaten over eight lengths at Bath last time — and this horse's best performances have come on faster, dry ground rather than normal conditions. Drawn in stall 11, near the unfavourable high side of the track, doesn't help.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field, rated 5lbs below average, and returning from a 223-day break — two significant hurdles to overcome. On the positive side, this horse does have two wins from 11 races on normal ground, and its last run was a win, so it comes back in form rather than off a poor result. Still, asking a horse to bounce back after seven months off and compete against more experienced rivals in a competitive field is a big ask.
Lowest rated, 5lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
TrackLab Insight
The biggest question mark in the field: this horse has not raced for 314 days, the longest absence of any runner here. At eight years old with 32 races behind it, it has the experience, but a horse returning after nearly a year off is a real risk, and the jockey-trainer combination has yet to win together in 12 attempts. Hard to trust on comeback day.
Absent 314 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
The most interesting stat here is that this horse has run 12 times over five furlongs and won four of them — by far the best record at today's trip of anyone in the field. However, it has not won on normal ground in three attempts, and today marks the first time this jockey and trainer have worked together, which adds a small note of uncertainty. Drawn in the lowest-rated stall 1, there's a lot to overcome.

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.
