All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
Placed in both career races (two thirds from two starts), which is a decent foundation for an inexperienced horse, but both runs came on soft or yielding ground—never on normal ground like today. With 101 days since his last outing, ring rust is a real concern, and he'll need to adapt to the faster conditions.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Four races, no wins, no places—a seven-year-old mare who is treading water in the mid-field with finishes of 5th, 13th, 9th, and 8th. The P J Rothwell stable is strong on the record, but this particular runner shows no sign of turning things around, and there's nothing here to distinguish her from the failures around her.
No clear distinguishing angle in this field
TrackLab Insight
The youngest in the field at four years old, and she's the closest thing to a form horse here—two places from five starts, including a runner-up finish at Naas, with a recent sequence that shows she keeps finding her way into contention. Her 7th at Downpatrick 48 days ago is the concern, but the raw material is here if she can put it together.
No clear distinguishing angle in this field
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field with 24 races under his belt, but his 8% win rate is hardly inspiring—and recent form is poor with just one place from his last six starts. He does have a proven liking for this course and normal ground (2 wins from 11 starts on standard conditions), which matters here, but he's come up empty in both recent Downpatrick outings.
Most experienced (24 runs, field avg 5)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 12)
TrackLab Insight
Top-rated by 5lbs over the field average, but the elephant in the room is stark: this seven-year-old has never won a race in 11 attempts. His five places show he belongs in competitive races, yet the breakthrough hasn't come—most recent form includes a fifth at Tramore, which is some encouragement, but not enough to overlook the winless record.
Top rated by 5lbs
TrackLab Insight
Two career races, zero wins, and a recent fourth at Downpatrick that at least shows he can complete a race—but the real angle here is the Gordon Elliott connection, a trainer with serious firepower in his corner. That said, the horse is winless from two starts with a 48-day gap since his last run, making this a step into the unknown for a lightly raced type.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Barely raced—just one career outing, which resulted in a run-out at Tramore 17 days ago. This is genuinely unknown territory with almost no form to assess; the Colin Bowe stable has fired out winners this season, but that's little comfort when you're backing a horse with zero completed races to its name.
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Made his debut just 21 days ago, finishing eighth at Ballinrobe—a humble start that tells you nothing except that he managed to complete the race. Trained by Noel C Kelly, whose yard has sent out 14 winners this season, but with only one race under his belt and a poor debut, this is a learner still finding his feet.
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The longest absence in the field—223 days since last racing—and her last three outings have been ugly (18th, 15th, 12th at Down Royal and Punchestown), all on ground she won't face today. This is a lost cause being wheeled out again; she has never raced on normal ground, making this an uncomfortable step into the unknown after such a long layoff.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
Absent 223 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Six races without a single win or place finish is a damning record, and the recent pattern—a pulled-up run at Ballinrobe just seven days ago—suggests this horse is struggling. The fact he's back out again after just a week's break, with a new jockey-trainer combination meeting for the first time, makes this look like a desperate roll of the dice.
Runs again after just 7 days

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.
