held up in rear, going okay but still plenty to do under 2f out, keeping on when not clear run inside final furlong (inquiry held into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to jump from stalls and settle in a position where gelding was happy, not rush gelding and to come with a steady run; he explained gelding had been slow to stride having been in the stalls a long time so he settled in rear and on inside of field rather further out of his ground than ideal but hoping race would unfold down middle of track which would give him a clear run up the inner; however the field moved towards inside rail which left gelding short of options and behind a wall of horses; he further added that approximately 1 1/2f out a gap momentarily opened but he decided that it wasn't an option as field was continuing to drift left-handed and the front runners were beginning to drop back in front of him so he had to wait again for another opportunity to improve his position which never fully materialised during remainder of race as he was repeatedly denied a clear run which he reported at Scales; his explanation was noted)

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.
