Starting price: 11/2 Official rating 115 Wearing cheekpieces Won 1 of last 5 6.0 lengths
jumped right on occasions, held up in rear, not fluent 16th, still plenty to do when pushed along after 3 out, no impression 2 out, 15 lengths down last, ridden and stayed on run-in, nearest finish (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to ride gelding mid-division to three-quarters of the way back, with the aim of being in striking distance from turning in; he had got further back than intended in first half of race, and that on second circuit gelding felt flat out; jockey acknowledged that he was too sympathetic in his riding, letting gelding get too far out of his ground, putting this down to his inexperience in the saddle; he continued that he had tried to urge gelding along at top of the hill but accepted that his effort was limited and that he only demonstrated real vigour in the saddle having jumped second last fence, where gelding finished very strongly up the hill; trainer stated that he agreed with the instructions given but informed stewards that the ride which jockey had given did not accord with them; he expanded that he had been keen to claim off the gelding, but that in hindsight jockey's ride was one of real inexperience and one that had come at too early a stage in rider's career; in his opinion the jockey should have been closer from the outset, ridden the gelding more vigorously on final circuit and not allowed gelding to become detached)

What these words mean

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.
