TrackLab Insight
King David is rated narrowly ahead of the field and has the editorial nod, but his record tells a harsh story: one win from 26 races with zero wins on good ground. His second place at Brighton eight days ago is recent, but he's won just once in two years and hasn't broken through on fast, dry ground—exactly what he faces today.

TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the form horse here—she's won two of her last six races and finished in the top three in three straight outings. She has a 25% win rate on good ground and wins roughly 1 in 9 races overall, making her a genuine threat to King David despite being rated slightly lower.

TrackLab Insight
Just broke through for a first career win at Windsor last week, but that victory came over a mile and three furlongs—a distance that suits him far better than today's mile. On good ground he has no wins from six attempts, which is a concern given the conditions he faces here.

TrackLab Insight
Winless from 13 career races with just a single place finish to his name—this is a horse still hunting for a breakthrough rather than a genuine contender. His recent form shows occasional flickers (a third at Yarmouth 35 days ago) but nothing to suggest he's about to end his duck here.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field with 54 runs under his belt and the only other runner besides James Park Woods to have won at this track and distance. He finished third at Brighton just 27 days ago and wins roughly 1 in 6-7 races at the seven-furlong to one-mile range, but he's zero wins from seven attempts on good ground.

TrackLab Insight
A seven-year-old with four wins across 43 races, but his current form is dire: nothing of note in the last six outings including a 10th place at Southwell just two weeks ago. He has no wins on standard or soft ground and will struggle to find a way through today.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)

TrackLab Insight
Winless from five career races and stepping up two classes to take on this field—a significant leap for a three-year-old with zero breakthrough moments so far. He hasn't raced in over two months, which adds another layer of uncertainty to an already thin profile.
Steps up 2 classes

TrackLab Insight
Winless from 23 races and rated lowest in the field, carrying the lightest weight but with no wins to show for it. His recent form at Brighton shows a 4th and 6th in back-to-back races here, which suggests he belongs in this company—just not as a threat to win.

TrackLab Insight
The course and distance specialist—he's won twice at Brighton and has three wins over this trip from 14 attempts (21%)—but he's been inactive for 80 days and struggled badly in his last three outings before that. His poor record on good ground is a significant headwind given today's conditions.

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.
