Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Wins roughly 3 in every 5 races—the best win rate in the field—and comes here dropping two classes after a York victory just 42 days ago. The market has backed him hard at 4.5, though he's never raced on slightly soft ground, which is a genuine question mark at this venue.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"He could be a slow burner and possibly a Wolferton horse, but that might come a bit quick and I haven't a firm plan with him yet. He'll definitely start in handicaps, but we hope he could develop into something quite tasty. 01-04-26"
TrackLab Insight
Unproven on slightly soft ground and carrying form from Ireland, but has placed twice in his last six outings and performs well on standard and yielding surfaces. The unknown going is a real concern for a horse used to firmer conditions.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
A genuine York specialist with two wins from four races here, including a Class 2 victory over this exact course and distance. Recent form is patchy (beaten 5.2L last time out), but his course mastery gives him real edge in a competitive field.

Trainer Quotes
Jun 2025
"He ended up having to do the donkey work on his return in the Lincoln and just got tired late on but he showed the benefit of that run in winning at York when stepping up in trip last time. I've always thought he'll make up into a Group horse and the Wolferton looks an ideal next step. 12-06-25"
TrackLab Insight
Editorial pick despite a modest 4% career win rate—just one win from 23 races—relies entirely on his slightly-soft-ground profile and middle-distance form. At age 8 and starting a new jockey partnership with Ryan Moore, he's a puzzle: the ratings say he fits, but the record screams doubt.
2nd highest rated (OR 101)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Has won 67% of his races (2 from 3) but returns from a staggering 309-day absence, dropping two classes in the process. The Gosden yard rarely misses, yet this is a high-risk proposition for a colt returning from a five-month break.
Drops 2 classes from usual level
Lightly raced (3 career races)
Absent 309 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Has struck twice in his last three races and carries genuine momentum into the race, but both wins came on standard or good ground—never on slightly soft. At just 25% career win rate over 8 races, he's a sprint horse being asked to prove himself at middle distance.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
TrackLab Insight
Never raced on slightly soft ground and carries form from Goodwood (4th, just 1.0L back 21 days ago) at 20% career win rate. The horse has consistently run respectably, but a previous jockey connection shows he may require specific handling.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
TrackLab Insight
Placed in two of his last three races, but crushed 26.8L at Ascot just 14 days ago and has never won at York in five attempts despite hitting his stride over this distance. The recent heavy defeat raises serious concerns despite good recent course form.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Wins at this trip 6 in 10 times and has already won at York over this distance, but his recent 18th-place finish here just 42 days ago is hard to ignore. The form is frustratingly inconsistent for a horse who should theoretically be well-suited.
Has won over this course and distance
TrackLab Insight
Placed in two of his last three races and rated narrowly below the top contenders, but his entire game is built on good or standard ground—he's won twice from six on good (33%), nothing on slightly soft. This is not the right surface for him.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Never raced on slightly soft ground and carries a thin record (1 win from 6 races) with recent efforts ranging from reasonable (3rd at York 42 days ago) to awful (11th at Ascot 28 days ago). The form is too inconsistent for confidence at this level.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
TrackLab Insight
Drops two classes but owns an 11% career win rate and hasn't shown significant recent form—his only win came at Yarmouth last August. At 210.0 odds with first-time jockey pairing, this looks like a horse still searching for a consistent role.
Drops 2 classes from usual level
TrackLab Insight
Never raced on slightly soft ground and only one win from 12 career races (8%)—the weakest win rate in the field. Recent placed effort at Ripon shows some life, but the odds have drifted sharply from 19.5 to 50.0, suggesting the market sees vulnerability.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
TrackLab Insight
Placed second at York just 42 days ago (beaten only 1.2L) and wins 40% of the time on standard ground, but no data exists for slightly soft—his recent outing at Thirsk eight days ago came on standard ground. He offers solid course form, though the ground remains an unknown.
Among the more experienced (21 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One of the only true course winners with two York victories, but his record on slightly soft ground is 0 wins from 7 attempts—a major red flag at this venue. His last win here came 43 days ago, yet recent form suggests he's drifting backwards.
One of few course winners (2 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Never raced on slightly soft ground and carries modest form (13th at York 42 days ago), but owns a Class 2 win at Ascot and hits his stride at this distance. The recent return at Goodwood is a mystery—form shows a question mark rather than a position.
Never raced on slightly soft ground
TrackLab Insight
Lowest rated in the field at OR 84 (9lbs below average), carrying the lowest weight, with a respectable 24% win rate—but his Redcar specialist tag doesn't travel, and he's 0 wins from 3 attempts on standard ground. Recent victory at York 56 days ago is his only relevant asset.
Lowest rated, 9lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
TrackLab Insight
Oddly long in the betting at 95.0 despite five career wins, but his recent form is troubling (14th and 12th at York in last two attempts) and he's never landed a victory here in nine attempts. The course appears to be against him.
One of the more successful in the field (5 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
At 140.0 with a 21% win rate (3 wins from 14), he's genuinely competitive on paper, but recent form shows two straight defeats at York (12th forty-two days ago, 6th seventy-one days ago). York appears to be working against him despite decent overall record.
Outsider at 140.0
TrackLab Insight
A 490.0 outsider with two wins in 14 races and odds that have drifted wildly (from 151.0), this eight-year-old has very little to recommend him at this level and distance. Recent form shows a 15th at Epsom and a 10th in Dubai—nothing remotely competitive.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Never raced on slightly soft ground but owns three consecutive top-3 finishes (most recent a narrow 1.0L second at Chester 42 days ago) and rates at 29% win rate over this trip. The form is strong, though the ground remains completely unproven.

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.
