How odds work
✓ Field size ✓ Trainer overall starts ✓ Jockey overall win rate
Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before
Why this score
  • A 6-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
  • Mrs J. Harrington has won 10.7% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
  • An 8.2% record at this course for Mrs J. Harrington. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Market favourite with the best career win rate in the field at roughly 1 win in every 3 races, and he's had a recent run just 13 days ago to sharpen him up. His last outing was a poor 4th at Navan, though, so there's a question mark over whether he's truly back to his best form.

How odds work
Wearing tongue strap Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before
Why this score
  • Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
  • 6 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
  • Has had 25 days off since its last race. That is a routine gap that should not help or hurt.
TrackLab Insight
Wins roughly 1 in 4 races and has a strong 40% win rate when partnered with Sean O'Keeffe, though recent form is mixed with a 4th place at Chepstow 25 days ago. A pulled-up run at Galway 96 days earlier suggests he can be unreliable on his day.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)

How odds work
Back after 188 days off Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before
Why this score
  • This is a 6-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
  • No wins at this distance yet. We cannot tell if the race is too long, too short or just right.
  • Jumping is a weakness. In jumps racing, poor jumping loses ground and confidence.
TrackLab Insight
Top-rated by 4lbs but absent for 188 days — the longest break in the field — which raises questions about readiness after such a lay-off. Never raced on normal ground, so this surface is uncharted territory; he's also winless from three starts on softer conditions, which limits what we know about his ability on the track today.

Wearing hood Won 2 of last 5 Has won on this ground
Why this score
  • 6 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
  • A low win rate on this ground from 6 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
  • A. John Black wins only 5.3% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
Fresh off a win at Sligo just 11 days ago and has now strung together three straight top-3 finishes, showing real momentum heading into this race. This is her first pairing with jockey Eoin Staples, so there's an unknown element in the combination, but her recent form and normal-ground record (1 win from 6 starts on this surface) are both solid for the task.

Why this score
  • 6 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
  • Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
  • A 4.3% career win rate for P. Cleary. That is on the low side and could matter today.
TrackLab Insight
Only horse in the field with a proven win at this distance (1 from 3), but he's been off for 188 days and has won just once from nine races overall — a thin win rate. His last three runs include a 17th-place finish at Cheltenham that was soundly beaten, so fitness and form are both legitimate concerns.

How odds work
Back after 240 days off Won 3 of last 5 Raced here before
Why this score
  • A 6-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
  • Has not raced for 240 days. That is a long time away, and we cannot be sure the horse will be fit enough.
  • S. Torrens wins 6.2% of their races overall. That is below the average for professional jockeys.
TrackLab Insight
Thrives in wet or muddy conditions with a 75% win rate on that ground, but today's normal surface is unfamiliar territory and he's never run on it. After a pull-up at Punchestown 185 days ago and little recent racing, the fitness question looms large despite his proven ability in the rain.

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.
