Why this score
- J. Fanshawe has won 14.9% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
- Has won over this distance 1 time. We know the horse can last this far, which removes one big question.
- This is a 12-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
The highest-rated horse in the field by some margin, but that rating advantage comes with a catch: this horse has never raced on normal ground before, so today is genuinely unknown territory. The mile distance suits — one win from three races at this trip — but a 13-length beating last time out at Southwell raises real questions about current form. Interesting on paper, uncertain in practice.
Never raced on normal ground
Best record at this trip (1 from 3)
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 3 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Facing weaker rivals than last time out. When a horse drops to an easier race, it often finds things easier.
- Finished 11th last time, which was a disappointing run. A poor last run raises questions about the horse's current form.
TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the field at roughly 1 in every 5 races, and the data shows three straight top-three finishes before last time's disappointing 11th at Lingfield. The concern today is the ground: this horse has never won on normal conditions in three attempts, and Brighton's course is nothing like its happy hunting ground at Wolverhampton.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Best career win rate in field (1 in 5)
Why this score
- Has not won at this distance before. We do not know if 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.
- D. Cunha has a 5.4% win rate at this course. It is not their strongest track. Some stables do better at some tracks than others.
TrackLab Insight
Sixteen races and zero wins — but nine places along the way suggest a horse that competes without ever quite delivering the knockout blow. The jockey, Luke Morris, is the busiest in-form rider in this field with two wins from 13 races in the last two weeks, which is the main reason to pay attention here. That said, a 12th-place finish at Doncaster just 20 days ago is a tough recent reference point to work from.
Jockey in best form (2 from 13 last 2wk)
Why this score
- A low win rate on this ground from 3 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- Has not won at this distance before. We do not know if the race length suits the horse.
- Has had 26 days off since its last race. That is a routine gap that should not help or hurt.
TrackLab Insight
Seven races in and still without a win, and the recent form makes for grim reading — beaten nearly 37 lengths at Kempton last time out, and well beaten at Lingfield and Plumpton before that. Those back-to-back second-place finishes buried further back in the form are the only flicker of encouragement, but they feel a long way away right now.
2nd highest rated (OR 74)
Why this score
- This horse runs well on today's ground, with a 25% win rate from 4 runs. The ground makes a big difference in racing.
- G. Baker has won 11.7% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
- A 1m race raises questions. If it is too long or too short for the horse, that hurts its chances.
TrackLab Insight
Six months off the track is a significant hurdle for any horse, and this one has a telling record of zero wins from four previous races on today's normal ground conditions. It has shown it can win on faster, drier ground, but this is its worst surface — and returning from a long break makes it even harder to fancy with confidence.
2nd highest rated (OR 74)
Why this score
- Its average finish over the last three runs is 2.7. That is steady. Horses that finish near the front often do so again.
- Finishing 2nd last time is encouraging. A horse that finishes well is usually in good shape.
- A 12-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Brighton-experienced — finished fourth here 201 days ago — and the record on normal ground reads one win from seven races, which is the best ground-specific record among the returning horses. The problem is five months off the track, and with just one career win from 16 races overall, there is a lot to overcome on comeback day.
Among the more experienced (16 career races)
Why this score
- J. Boyle wins 10.0% of all their races. That is a solid record. Good trainers get horses ready well and pick the right races.
- No wins at this distance yet. We cannot tell if the race is too long, too short or just right.
- 12 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
By far the longest-absent horse in the field — off the track for nearly 19 months — and that alone makes it almost impossible to assess with any confidence. When last seen, it was beaten more than seven lengths, and even its two career wins came nearly two years ago. Fascinating in theory, extremely risky in practice.
Absent 583 days (longest in field)
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 3 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- S. Hitchcott wins 6.2% of all their races. That is a strong record. A jockey who wins often gives a horse a better chance.
- Up against stronger rivals than before. Moving up to a harder race tests whether a horse is improving.
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field, sitting 13 pounds below the average — that is a significant gap in a race like this — and 16 races without a win makes for difficult reading. The one genuine positive is a third-place finish at Brighton 184 days ago, so the track is not entirely unfamiliar, but the rating deficit against most rivals here is a real obstacle.
Lowest rated, 13lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
Why this score
- Not enough recent rides for The jockey to judge their form. That is not good or bad news.
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by a clear margin — 37 races compared to a field average of 18 — and Richard Hannon's stable is in decent nick with two wins from 14 races in the past fortnight. However, this horse has never won on normal ground or on right-handed tracks, and Brighton is exactly that, which is a pattern hard to ignore after 37 attempts.
Most experienced (37 runs, field avg 18)
Trainer in best form (2 from 14 last 2wk)
Why this score
- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
The least experienced horse in the field with just five career races, and the record so far is modest — no wins and three consecutive fifth-place finishes before a four-month break. It is genuinely difficult to assess without more data, and returning from time off adds further uncertainty for a horse that is yet to show it can win.
Relatively inexperienced (5 career races)
Why this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 6 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Not enough recent rides for The jockey to judge their form. That is not good or bad news.
TrackLab Insight
A horse that clearly loves wet, muddy ground — two wins from three races in those conditions is a remarkable record — but today's normal ground at Brighton is the opposite of what it thrives on, and it has zero wins from nine combined attempts on good or fast ground. Rates a tough sell unless the weather dramatically changes.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)
Why this score
- A 5.8% overall win rate for L. Dace. That suggests a trainer who picks the right races for their horses.
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
The standout angle in this race: the only horse in the field to have won here at Brighton, and not just once — three wins from six races at this course, including over this exact distance, gives it a 50% win rate here that no rival comes close to matching. Today's normal ground also suits, with two wins from four races on this surface. Despite being the second-lowest rated in the field, course form this strong cannot be ignored.

- 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.
