TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 4.7 with just 2 career races—a 50% win rate, but that's a paper-thin sample size. Won at Windsor in May 2025 but is returning after a 277-day absence, which is dangerous for a young horse needing racing experience. Odds reflect the betting public's optimism rather than form.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
Market favourite (4.7)
TrackLab Insight
The form couldn't be more eye-catching: a 7-year-old who's 1-2-2 in his last three, all at Windsor, yet he's rated 11 lbs below the field average and carries the lowest weight. He won here just a week ago, showing he thrives on this track, but dry ground historically catches him—0 wins from 7 on fast ground.
Lowest rated, 11lbs below average

Trainer Quotes
May 2026
"He had a great season the year before last (he won four times and was placed three times), but last season he was a bit disappointing. Consequently he's now well handicapped. That's the only trouble with these older handicappers - if you have a really good time with them you pay the penalty, and they probably won't do so well the following year. He's on a mark of 75 now and should pick up a race off that rating. He can be a bit quirky at the start - the lead out on to the track at Windsor is very good and it suits him so it's easier to race him there than anywhere else. He was a good third there on his comeback last week. 14-05-26"

TrackLab Insight
The form screams quality: three straight top-three finishes with two of those separated by just a whisker. But there's a hidden trap—he wins roughly half his races on standard ground and has never won on fast, dry ground (0 from 5), which is exactly what Windsor serves up today.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
A horse built for placing rather than winning—6 places from 17 races but only one career victory. He's raced at Windsor twice recently, finishing 2nd by a whisker and then 10th, showing he can turn up but struggles to deliver on this track. Odds of 12.0 seem generous given his 6% win rate.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
Trainer Quotes
May 2026
"He was second at Lingfield on his debut for us in April. Then we ran him at Goodwood over 6f and he showed a load of toe. He was really keen throughout the race but just didn't quite get home. We will probably drop him back to 5f - he hasn't done that for a while and I think he's got enough speed for it, so that's quite exciting to do. He only just got run out of it for the minor places at Goodwood and I think he's certainly got a race or two in him in the near future. 20-05-26"
TrackLab Insight
Genuinely consistent—3 wins and 6 places from 16 races (roughly 1 win per 5 outings)—but recent form is a concern, with two consecutive 7th-place finishes at Ascot and Salisbury. Won at Yarmouth 60 days ago but appears to have lost momentum at this tighter level.
Mid-range in the market (15.0)
TrackLab Insight
Second-highest rated in the field, but form has stalled badly—three unplaced efforts in a row at top tracks suggest confidence is draining. He absolutely thrives on fast, dry ground (2 wins from 5 starts), which perfectly suits today's conditions, but that's the only angle working in his favour right now.
2nd highest rated (OR 88)
TrackLab Insight
A course specialist with one Windsor win in recent form, but underlying numbers are modest: 4 wins from 31 races (13% win rate) and he hasn't won on good ground in any outing. Recent 4th at Windsor 35 days ago shows he can be competitive here, but form before that win was weak.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of course winners here (1 win at Windsor), but current form is alarming—10th at Ascot, 6th at Goodwood, 12th at Carlisle in his last three. He wins roughly 1 in every 6 races and prefers sprint distances, but recent trajectory suggests he's struggling to regain form.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
A filly who demolishes good ground (3 wins from 6 starts) but has never won on fast ground or soft ground—today's dry conditions are her worst-case scenario. Recent form is thin and uninspiring: 6th at Windsor 63 days ago, and just one placing in her last three outings.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
The most striking profile in the field: a 3-year-old with 2 wins from 5 races (40% win rate), yet ignored by the market at 26.0 odds despite the highest rating. She's 2 from 4 at this distance and has been off the track for 310 days—a massive concern, as horses rarely return from such a break without a warning run.
Best record at this trip (2 from 4)
Absent 310 days (longest in field)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 2)
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
Genuinely impressive credentials: 5 wins from 15 races (33% win rate), and he's just won twice in his last three outings. However, he's dropping two classes from his usual level, which suggests the yard aren't confident about his ability to compete here—a significant warning signal.
Drops 2 classes from usual level
TrackLab Insight
A potentially serious runner on paper: 3 wins from 9 races (33% win rate) and notably 2 wins from 3 on good ground. But he's returning from a 252-day absence and his last three races were all unplaced, making him a significant risk for a horse this out of action.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
A specialist on standard ground (4 wins from 12) and a dominant force at Southwell (4 from 7), but Windsor's dry track and his 0-from-4 record on good ground are red flags. Recent form at Windsor was uninspiring—5th only 30 days ago—and he hasn't won anywhere since his Southwell dominance faded.
One of the more successful in the field (5 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The editorial selection rates him 6 lbs clear of his rivals, and his record backs it up: 6 wins from 25 races (roughly 1 in 4) at a genuinely competitive level, mostly Class 2. Most importantly, he's 2 from 3 on fast ground—the standout record in this field—and carries the lightest weight after penalties.
Best record on this ground (2 from 3)

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.
