TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 4.5, yet his recent form tells a story of struggle — 6th at Hamilton 19 days ago, 13th at York 109 days ago. His 2 wins from 10 races (20%) is respectable, but he's never won on good ground and that suggests he needs soft conditions, so the favourite tag may be relying more on hope than evidence.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2025
"He's a lovely four-year-old who's very lightly raced. He's had only five races, but he won on his last start at Leicester in October over 1m2f and is now rated 87. He'll be a nice horse to have a crack at those nice 1m2f handicaps. He's the type to go for something like the John Smith's Cup and he should improve as the year goes on. 02-04-25"
TrackLab Insight
The editorial pick for this race, and he's the only course winner in the field with proven success at Beverley. The 4-year-old wins roughly 1 in 6 races overall and has placed second in each of his last two outings, but here's the problem — he has never won on soft ground (0 from 4) and struggles on left-handed tracks, making today's conditions a serious concern despite being 5 lbs below the top-rated horse.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Just broke through with a win at Chester last week and followed it with a second at Ayr 22 days ago — three top-3 finishes on the bounce show real momentum. The 4-year-old has won 1 of 8 races overall and thrives on fast ground, but soft turf is untested territory and he's shown no form on anything slower than good ground.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The best record on soft ground in the entire field with 3 wins from 8 starts (38%) — exactly the kind of conditions specialist you want in heavy weather. His 18% overall win rate and proven consistency (finished in top three more than half the time) is genuinely solid, though a shocking 8th-place finish at Cartmel just 63 days ago needs explaining.
Best record on this ground (3 from 8)
Trainer Quotes
Oct 2024
"He's been really consistent all year, winning a mile handicap at Haydock in late April and finishing second or third on seven other occasions. Last time he was beaten only half a length by Tipsy Tiger at Sandown. He'll go to the sales but we're hoping to get another win into him beforehand. He's entered in the 1m2f handicap at Nottingham on Wednesday. 10-10-24"
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by 3 lbs, and he's a specialist on wet ground — winning almost 1 in 3 races (4 from 13) when the turf is soft or muddy, compared to just 1 in 7 overall. His recent victory at Ayr 22 days ago proves he's in form, but the odds have drifted from 11 to 17, suggesting the market is cautious despite perfect conditions for his style.

Trainer Quotes
May 2026
"He ran a nice race at York the other day. He's reliant on a bit of ease in the ground and it will be weather dependent where he goes next. We've put him in the Hunt Cup as he's won at Ascot before, albeit in the autumn. Looking at the way he ran at York, I might be tempted to go back up in trip a bit with him. 27-05-26"
Apr 2025
"He looked really good one day at Ascot last year when he was held up on soft ground. He definitely needs it slow and that will be a big factor for him. His work is probably better than it was last year. 14-04-25"

TrackLab Insight
The only horse in the field with a winning record specifically over this course and distance, and he's won 2 of his last 4 outings at the 1m 2f trip — a 50% win rate that stands out. His 27% overall win rate (best in the field) is genuinely elite, but he's never won on soft ground and recent form has been patchy (3rd, 7th, 6th in last three races).

TrackLab Insight
Haven't won in ten months (last victory outside the provided data), yet trainer Tim Easterby keeps running him — a signal that improvement is expected. On soft ground he's won 1 of 4 (25%) and on standard ground 2 of 4 (50%), so the conditions suit him, but recent form is poor (8th, 4th, 20th in last three) and 12.5 to 1 odds suggest punters agree he's unreliable.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field by 15 lbs, carrying the least weight at 116 lbs, and has never raced on soft ground before. This 3-year-old filly has just one win from 7 races and showed recent promise with a 4th at Redcar 8 days ago, but she's seriously overmatched on rating against proven soft-ground specialists like Theoryofeverything and Amancio.
Lowest rated, 14lbs below average

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by far with 43 races under his belt, and he's been on a purple patch recently with 2 wins in his last 6 outings. His 23% win rate is the best headline figure in the race, but he's never raced on soft or muddy ground before, and a shocking 7th-place finish at Pontefract just 14 days ago after winning there 21 days prior raises questions about consistency.

Most experienced (43 runs, field avg 16)
TrackLab Insight
A 3-year-old with minimal experience (just 3 races) returning after a 132-day absence — the longest layoff in the field and a major concern on heavy ground he's never encountered. His single win came on fast going at Chelmsford months ago, making this a significant step into the unknown at poor odds of 19.5.
Never raced on wet ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
Absent 132 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Winless from 12 races and has never raced on wet ground before, which is a major red flag given the heavy conditions today. Recent form shows inconsistency (fourth, third, sixth in last three runs), and at 28 to 1 odds, the market clearly has doubts — this is a 0% winner taking on proven soft-ground specialists.
Never raced on wet ground
TrackLab Insight
The youngest runner at just 3 years old and rated highly (5 lbs above average), yet the market treats him as a 30 to 1 outsider — a disconnect worth noting. His single win came over a year ago on good ground at Nottingham, and he hasn't raced in 115 days, making him one of the least-ready horses in the field for a return on heavy going.
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
Winless from 13 career races and hasn't managed better than fifth in his last six outings — this is a horse that flatters to deceive. At 85 to 1 and with zero wins to his name, he's a statistical non-runner in a competitive field where several horses have genuine winning profiles.
Winless from 13 career races

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.
