Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £3.75 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • A 3m 4½f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
  • With 36 races behind it, this horse knows what to expect. Experienced runners tend to cope better with pressure.
  • An average finish of 1 over recent runs. Finishing in the middle or further back so often counts against the horse.

  • Wearing cheekpieces (sheepskin that helps it focus)
  • Won 1 of its last 5 races
Has raced at this course before
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £5.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • 3m 4½f is a good distance for this horse. Over its best distance, it can run its own race.
  • This type of ground has not suited the horse: 3 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
  • Facing tougher rivals than last time. It is like moving up to a harder league. The step up is a challenge.

Bet £1, get £6.00 back if it wins

  • Wearing cheekpieces (sheepskin that helps it focus)
  • Its first race in 204 days

How odds work
Why this score
  • 3m 4½f is a good distance for this horse. Over its best distance, it can run its own race.
  • A Chase Turf race works in this horse's favour. Horses often do best in one type of race and struggle in others.
  • A 7.7% record at this course for O. Murphy. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.

Bet £1, get £7.50 back if it wins

  • Its first race in 204 days
  • Won 3 of its last 5 races
Has won at this course twiceHas done well on this kind of ground
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £7.50 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • Mrs C. Williams has a good 33.3% record here. A trainer who does well at one course is worth noting.
  • A 3m 4½f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
  • A. Wedge wins 11.2% of their races overall. That is below the average for professional jockeys.

Bet £1, get £11.00 back if it wins

  • Its first race in 214 days

Why this score
  • A 3m 4½f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
  • With a 15.1% win rate overall, B. Hughes is one of the more dependable riders.

How odds work
Why this score
  • A 3m 4½f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
  • This horse is suited to this Chase Turf race. A horse in its best type of race can just focus on running.
  • Has raced 14 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.

Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £15.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • Today's race is over 3m 4½f. That distance looks right for this horse. Running over the right distance matters a lot.
  • Has raced 3 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
  • The trainer's horses do not always finish their races. That raises questions about fitness and preparation.

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.
