TrackLab Insight
Wolverhampton is this horse's happy place — two wins from four races here, including a win last time out 41 days ago, makes Tuba the standout course specialist in the field. Drawn in stall 3, which sits in the favoured low draw bracket, and the distance suits too. The market has drifted sharply from a very short price to 3.8, which is worth keeping an eye on, but the course form alone makes this hard to ignore.

The second-highest rated horse in the field on paper, but the form book tells a more complicated story — the last run was a 7th at Pontefract, and the two finishes before that came over 600 days ago. This horse has essentially been off the radar for nearly two years, and has never won on the normal surface conditions we have today. Hard to get excited about based on what's available.

The editorial verdict singles this horse out as the one to follow, and the case rests on a strong record at Wolverhampton specifically — two wins from three visits here, on a surface that clearly suits. Running again just three days after finishing fifth here is unusual, and Oisin Murphy — who wins roughly 1 in 3 races he's ridden over the last two weeks — takes the ride for the first time. The overall form looks patchy, but this course record is real.

Quietly the most compelling profile in the race — two wins from four races at Wolverhampton, the best record on today's normal surface conditions (two wins from seven races on it), and a win here just 35 days ago. The editorial verdict flags Fine Print as the one to beat, but V Power's combination of course form, ground form, and distance form at this exact track is hard to match in this field.

TrackLab Insight
One of just three horses today with multiple wins at Wolverhampton, and a second-place finish just 46 days ago at Southwell shows there's still life in this seven-year-old. However, the draw in stall 9 puts Green Team in the high-draw bracket, which has the worst record at this course and distance — only 8% of winners come from there. Has to overcome that against rivals with better draws.

The data suggests this horse actually prefers a shorter distance than today's 1m 6f — the one win in 17 races came at a different trip. Back-to-back poor runs at Southwell, and the jockey-trainer combination hasn't clicked yet in four races together. Hard to make a strong case here.

Three wins from 12 races at Wolverhampton is a genuinely strong course record and makes Daaris one of only a handful of proven course winners in today's field. The problem is the recent form — back-to-back sixth-place finishes before a 104-day absence, and the blinkers haven't sparked a revival yet. Needs to show that the break has done some good.

The best career win rate in the field — wins roughly 1 in 7 races — and three wins from ten at Wolverhampton makes this a genuine contender on course form alone. The worry is what happened in the two runs since that Wolverhampton win: a 9th at Lingfield and a 5th at Salisbury, beaten nearly 15 lengths last week. If that Wolverhampton version turns up, dangerous; if the recent version does, less so.

The most lightly weighted horse in the field, but also the lowest rated by a significant margin — 10lbs below the field average — and absent for 279 days, the longest lay-off of any runner today. Coming back from nine months off, drawn in the worst part of the track in stall 10, and with recent form showing two eighths and a seventh. This is a horse that needs to prove it's returned to form before asking punters to back it.

TrackLab Insight
Six wins from 21 races at Southwell is a remarkable course record — but today is at Wolverhampton, where this horse has raced nine times without winning. Two poor recent runs since the last Southwell win, and the lowest official rating outside of Arch Legend, make this a tough sell away from his favourite track.
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.
