TrackLab Insight
Won at Kempton just six days ago and is back out quickly to strike again—this is a horse in form and clearly trusted by the yard. Rated seven pounds clear of his nearest rivals, he's the class act here, though the field average is much weaker than his usual targets and he'll need to prove he can handle a quicker turnaround than most.
Runs again after just 6 days
Trainer Quotes
May 2024
"He ran a blinder at Newmarket the other day, which should set him up nicely for Chester's May meeting next week. He was beaten by what looks a very smart horse [Poet Master] and was more tractable, so maybe he's grown up, which would make life easier for his jockeys. He runs well at Chester and holds a course record, while he was third in the race we're aiming for from a bad draw last year. There's a good programme for him at Chester, so he could spend quite a bit of time there as the track suits. He wasn't beaten far in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last year, but we may shoot lower, albeit still at a tidy level. 02-05-24"
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 4.5 and the only runner besides Percy's Lad with a win rate above 20%, with three straight top-three finishes. A three-year-old with genuine talent who won at Wolverhampton 63 days ago, though he's been narrowly beaten in his last two outings and is still learning at this level.
Best record on this ground (1 from 3)
3 straight top-3 finishes
Market favourite (4.5)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The youngest runner here at three years old, and has won one of three races at this seven-furlong trip—his best distance. Recent form is tightening up nicely with a third at Doncaster just 17 days ago, but he's a baby still learning the game and lacks the proven consistency of Percy's Lad.
Best record at this trip (1 from 3)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
A three-year-old filly with just nine races under her belt who was only narrowly beaten (0.3L) at Wolverhampton 18 days ago. She can handle this ground and distance reasonably well, but with just one win from nine starts she's barely half as reliable as Percy's Lad and will need everything to fall right.
Relatively inexperienced (9 career races)
Trainer Quotes
Jul 2025
"She worked really well prior to running in probably one of the hottest maidens of the year at Yarmouth won by Gold Digger, and she was just too keen to do herself justice. I think she'll prove that run - which wasn't terrible looking back at it - all wrong. She runs at Kempton on Wednesday. 09-07-25"
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced runner here with 53 races and a strong record at Wolverhampton (four wins from 16 starts), plus five wins on standard ground. He's a genuine course specialist who was nearly winning here just 140 days ago, making him a realistic threat despite odds of 9.5.
Has won over this course and distance
Most experienced (53 runs, field avg 20)
TrackLab Insight
Hasn't won on standard ground (0 from 3 starts) and is currently in poor form, finishing 9th at Southwell just 22 days ago. This is not a horse ready to win despite a midrange price of 11.0.
Mid-range in the market (11.0)
TrackLab Insight
Back after 332 days away and still largely ignored at 34.0 despite having the best win rate in the field at one win every four races. Has never won on standard ground (0 from 3), which is a concern on a normal surface, and the long break is always a gamble even for a naturally talented horse.
Absent 332 days (longest in field)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 4)
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
An outsider at 34.0 who hasn't won in nearly sixteen months and was beaten nearly 23 lengths over this course just 19 days ago. This horse is struggling badly right now and the evidence suggests he doesn't belong in this race.
Outsider at 34.0
TrackLab Insight
Has won over this course and distance before, which is his only real selling point in a field led by Percy's Lad. However, he hasn't raced for 110 days and has zero wins on standard ground from four attempts, making him a long shot.
Has won over this course and distance
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated runner, ten pounds below the field average, and hasn't won on standard ground in 26 starts (just one win from 26). After 160 days away, this is a horse with every reason to struggle and no reason to fancy.
Lowest rated, 10lbs below average

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.
