Why this score
- Has raced 6 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- Has won here 1 time in 4 visits. That record at this course is a good sign.
- This is a 25-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Tony Carroll is a trainer in decent form — two wins from 13 in the last two weeks — and the jockey-trainer partnership here has an established record of 56 wins from 544 races together, which is a solid working relationship. But Port Hedland himself has never won on normal ground in ten attempts, making today's conditions a serious barrier.
Runs again after just 7 days
Why this score
- Has raced 12 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- An experienced horse with 45 career runs. Experienced horses tend to be steadier and less likely to run badly.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
The standout form horse in this field, having finished in the top three in three races on the spin, including a win just 12 days ago. Rated 8lbs above the field average, which makes him the highest-rated runner here by some margin. The big concern is that all his wins have come on artificial surfaces — on normal ground like today, he has never won in 12 attempts.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- A 21.7% win rate at this course for J. Callan. Jockeys who know a track well can pick the best ground and time their run.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
No clear angle makes this horse stand out in a field this size, and the data points in the wrong direction on normal ground — zero wins from six races on it. Today's six-furlong trip is also shorter than the seven-to-a-mile range where she has shown her best form.
No clear distinguishing angle in this field
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 8 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- R. Havlin has won 11.2% of their races in their career. That steady record counts for a lot.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Ran just seven days ago, which is a quick turnaround, but there's a hint of encouragement — she was only beaten three lengths at Yarmouth and four-fifths of a length at Kempton in her last two outings. The problem is that her one career win came on soft ground, and she has never won on normal conditions in eight attempts.
Runs again after just 7 days
Why this score
- Has won 1 time over this distance. That is a good sign the race length suits the horse.
- Has raced 3 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- A 25-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
His trainer is the one bright spot here, having won 2 from 10 races in the past two weeks — the best recent form of any trainer in the field. However, Alashos himself has never won on normal ground in eight attempts, and his jockey and trainer have yet to win together in six races as a combination.
Trainer in best form (2 from 10 last 2wk)
Why this score
- With 63 races behind it, this horse knows what to expect. Experienced runners tend to cope better with pressure.
- This horse runs well on today's ground, with a 29% win rate from 7 runs. The ground makes a big difference in racing.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
By far the most experienced horse in the field with 63 career races — more than double the field average of 23 — and her record on normal ground stands out as the best of any runner here, winning 2 from 7 on this surface. The worry is that recent form is patchy and she has never won at Brighton, though her course record at Southwell — three wins from six races — shows she can be a course specialist when conditions suit.
Best record on this ground (2 from 7)
Most experienced (63 runs, field avg 23)
Why this score
- Wins 20% of the time on this type of ground. Some horses run much better on soft or firm ground. This one suits today's ground.
- Dropped to an easier race today. It is like being the big fish in a smaller pond. The lower standard should suit.
- This is a 25-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
One of only two horses in this field with a previous win over this course and distance at Brighton, which is a genuine positive in a race where course experience can matter. However, he hasn't raced here in over six months and his last six runs have been consistently modest. He has never won on normal ground in five attempts — and today is on normal ground.
Has won over this course and distance
Why this score
- L. Morris wins 12.4% of their races at this course. Knowing the track is an advantage for any jockey.
- A low win rate on this ground from 6 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Nineteen races without a win is the headline, but the jockey, Luke Morris, has been in the best form of any rider in the field over the last two weeks — two wins from 13 rides. Returning from five months off and with a winless record, he needs everything to go right, but at least there is a hot jockey in the saddle.
Jockey in best form (2 from 13 last 2wk)
Why this score
- Has raced 3 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- P. Cosgrave has won 10.6% of their races in their career. That steady record counts for a lot.
- This is a 25-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Ten races and no wins, but also no placed finishes — every run has resulted in a finish outside the top three. The pattern of finishes (4th, 5th, 6th repeatedly) suggests a horse that is consistently thereabouts without ever threatening, and the jockey-trainer combination is working together for the first time today.
Winless from 10 career races
Why this score
- J. Owen has a good 21.7% record here. A trainer who does well at one course is worth noting.
- Has raced 7 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Carries the lowest weight in the field, which is an advantage in a race like this where every pound counts. She was beaten less than a length into third last time out at Southwell, showing she is in fair form — and she shares the same jockey-trainer team as Von Krolock, who has 13 wins from 67 races together. Zero wins from 23 career races is hard to ignore, but the conditions here are at least different from the Irish tracks where she has struggled.
Carries lowest weight in field
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 4 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Has not won at this distance before. We do not know if the race length suits the horse.
- This is a 25-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Sixteen races without a win and returning from a five-month break makes this a difficult case to argue. She has raced at Brighton before — twice — without winning, adding another tick against her on a track where course familiarity can matter.
Winless from 16 career races
Why this score
- A low win rate on this ground from 4 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- Has won at this distance 4 times before. A horse that has shown it can last the trip is a plus.
- A 25-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Has the best record in the field at six furlongs, winning 4 from 14 races at this trip — that stands out as a genuine strength. However, his recent form has faded badly, and he hasn't raced in nearly two months. He's also never won on normal ground, which is a real problem given today's conditions.
Best record at this trip (4 from 14)
Why this score
- Has raced 6 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- Its average finish over the last three runs is 5. That is steady. Horses that finish near the front often do so again.
- This is a 25-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Rated joint-second highest in the field and has shown promise at this sort of distance, winning roughly 1 in 4 races between five and six-and-a-half furlongs. The problem is that his last two runs have been poor — back-to-back seventh-place finishes — and he has never won on normal ground in eight attempts.
2nd highest rated (OR 55)
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 3 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- This horse is happy on Good ground. When the ground suits, a horse can run to its best.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
The least experienced horse in the field with just eight races to his name, and returning from nearly six months off the track, which is a significant ask. He has yet to win in any of those eight races, and his last two runs — beaten nearly 15 and 30 lengths — don't inspire confidence.
Relatively inexperienced (8 career races)
Why this score
- No wins at this distance yet. We cannot tell if the race is too long, too short or just right.
- Dropped to an easier race today. It is like being the big fish in a smaller pond. The lower standard should suit.
- A 25-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Has never raced on normal ground before, making today a completely unknown quantity. Ten races into his career with zero wins and zero places is a hard record to look past — that's a completely blank column in both columns that matter.
Never raced on normal ground
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- With a 9.1% win rate overall, K. Fox is one of the more dependable riders.
- A 25-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
No clear distinguishing angle in this field, and his most recent run — ninth at Kempton — is the wrong direction after a promising fourth in his previous outing. One win from 21 races at a 5% rate doesn't give much to work with, and he has never won on normal ground in nine attempts.
No clear distinguishing angle in this field
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- A 4yo+ race looks a good fit. Trainers who enter horses in the right races tend to have a plan.
- A 0% record at this course for J. & Shelley Birkett. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Two wins from 22 races gives him a bit more of a career record to point to than some rivals, but recent form is poor — he was beaten 12 lengths in 11th last time out at Wolverhampton. His wins have come on fast, dry ground rather than normal conditions, which is a further reason for caution today.
Among the more experienced (22 career races)
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- Has had 48 career runs, so it is an experienced racehorse. Experience helps in a tough race.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
The second most experienced horse in the field with 48 career races, but that experience has yielded just one win — a rate of roughly 1 in every 48 outings. He has never won at Brighton in 12 attempts, which is the longest winless record at a single course for any horse in this field, making him very hard to recommend here.
Among the more experienced (48 career races)
Why this score
- Has had 41 career runs, so it is an experienced racehorse. Experience helps in a tough race.
- Has won 1 time at this course from 1 run. A horse that has won here before may like the course.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
One of only two horses in the field with a previous win over this course and distance at Brighton, which is a genuine positive on paper. However, all five of his career wins have come on soft or wet ground, and he has never won on normal conditions in 13 attempts — today's normal ground therefore looks like a significant stumbling block.
Has won over this course and distance
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- Has not raced for 184 days. That is a long time away, and we cannot be sure the horse will be fit enough.
- 25 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field, sitting 9lbs below the field average — a larger gap than any other runner. Returning from nearly six months off, winless from 16 races, and beaten 43 lengths last time out at this same course, it is hard to find a compelling reason to think today will be different.
Lowest rated, 8lbs below average
Why this score
- Has raced 4 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
No clear distinguishing angle here: one win from 18 races is a thin record, and his most recent run result is unknown. He has never won on normal ground, making today's conditions another hurdle to clear before he can be considered a serious contender.
No clear distinguishing angle in this field
Why this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
Has placed in two of his last three races — both second-place finishes — which gives him some relevance in a competitive field. Eleven career races without a win is the concern, but those near-misses suggest he is competitive enough to feature again if things fall right.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
Why this score
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
Has the best career win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in every 7 races — which puts her ahead of almost every rival on that measure. The major concern is that she has been absent for over seven months, which is the longest lay-off of any runner in the field, and her last three runs before the break were all well beaten. She has previously raced at Brighton, so the course is not completely unfamiliar.
Absent 215 days (longest in field)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 7)
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- Not enough recent rides for The jockey to judge their form. That is not good or bad news.
TrackLab Insight
Ran just three days ago — the quickest turnaround of any horse in the field — and was beaten 16 and a half lengths in ninth that day. Twelve races without a win, and a sequence of finishing positions that reads 9-12-9-9-13-12, makes this one of the hardest horses to recommend in the race.
Runs again after just 3 days
Why this score
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
Also runs again after just three days, alongside Noble Phoenix, sharing the quickest turnaround in the field. Five years old and still without a win from 20 races — though seven placed finishes show the horse tries — but he has never won at Brighton despite five attempts here, which is a significant red flag for this course.

- Underrated horse
- We think this horse has a better chance than the bookmakers' odds suggest.
- Our top pick
- The horse with the highest TrackLab Score in the race.
- TrackLab Score
- Our model's estimate of a horse's chance of winning, as a number out of 100. The scores in a race add up to 100.
- Ground
- How the going was on the day, from Firm (hard and dry) to Heavy (very wet and muddy). On all-weather tracks it's Standard, Fast or Slow.
- Race level (Class)
- From Class 1 (elite) down to Class 7 (lowest).
- Group, Grade and Listed
- The top races. Group 1 on the Flat and Grade 1 over jumps are the highest level, then 2 and 3. Listed races sit just below.
- Handicap
- The handicapper gives better horses more weight to carry, so in theory they'd all finish together.
- Maiden
- A race for horses that haven't won yet.
- Novice
- A race for horses that are new to this type of race.
- Chase, hurdle and bumper
- Chase: jumps over fences. Hurdle: jumps over low hurdles. Bumper: a flat race for young jump horses.
- Distance (m and f)
- m is a mile and f a furlong, about 200 metres; 8 furlongs make a mile.
- Each way
- A bet that pays out if your horse wins or finishes in the top 3 (how far down it pays varies by race). It is really two bets.
- Weight
- How much the horse carries, including the jockey. 9st 5lb means nine stone five pounds.
- Jockey claim
- An apprentice jockey can claim a weight discount, so the horse carries a little less.
- Headgear
- Blinkers, visor, cheekpieces, tongue tie, hood and eyeshield change what the horse sees or feels.
