How odds work
✓ Jockey starts at this course ✓ Race distance ✓ Last run finishing position
Wearing cheekpieces Won 2 of last 5
Why this score
  • A 6.1% win rate at this course for P. Enright. Jockeys who know a track well can pick the best ground and time their run.
  • 2m 4f is a good distance for this horse. Over its best distance, it can run its own race.
  • This is a 19-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 10/3 with the best win rate in the field (2 from 11, roughly 1 in 6), and he's just won twice in his last three races — Roscommon 91 days ago, then Punchestown 21 days ago. The 'very underrated' label suggests the market may still be underestimating a horse in genuine form, though his poor record on good-to-yielding and yielding ground is a real concern.

How odds work
Wearing blinkers Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • This type of ground has not suited the horse: 8 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
  • D. Mullins has a good 11.3% record here. Knowing the course is one of a jockey's biggest strengths.
  • This is a 19-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Just a neck behind at Punchestown three weeks ago, and rated at 96 by the handicapper, but he carries a 'very underrated' label that cuts against his recent form trend — only two top-3 finishes in his last six races. The close second and the rating suggest latent ability, though 14 races without a win means he's been spinning his wheels for some time.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £1001.00 back.

How odds work
Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
  • Its average finish over the last three runs is 2.3. That is steady. Horses that finish near the front often do so again.
  • A 3.5% career win rate for J. Canavan. That is on the low side and could matter today.
TrackLab Insight
A 5-year-old still winless after six races, recently finishing 4th at Roscommon. On an official rating of 96, Colesberg sits among the top weights yet has done nothing to justify the confidence — no wins, no breakthroughs, just a couple of finished in the top 3 finishes and a long journey between recent outings.

Wearing hood Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
  • A 2m 4f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
  • 19 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Winless 7-year-old from four races with a form line of fourth, 15th, 12th and 20th — the inconsistency is stark, and there's nothing in the record to suggest he belongs here. Most recent effort was a 4th at Clonmel, but the wider pattern shows a horse struggling to find any rhythm.

How odds work
Wearing cheekpieces Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before Has won on this ground
Why this score
  • Today's race is over 2m 4f. That distance looks right for this horse. Running over the right distance matters a lot.
  • The starting stall helps today. At this course, some stalls have done better than others.
  • A 19-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
One of only two horses with a career win to his name (1 from 24 races, 4% win rate), and genuinely effective on good, fast ground where he's won 1 from 12. Recent form is poor — two 6th-place finishes and an unseated rider — and at 7 years old, this horse looks past his best.

How odds work
Wearing cheekpieces Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before Won at this distance 1 time
Why this score
  • A low win rate on this ground from 13 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
  • A 2m 4f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
  • This is a 19-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
The only winner at this 2m 4f distance, with 1 win from 5 attempts at the trip, but that sole career victory came way back in August and disguises a win rate of just 1 in 30 across 31 races. Most experienced horse in the field, yet recent form is weak — 5th at Sligo 34 days ago — and he has never won on good ground in 13 attempts.

Back after 219 days off Won 0 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.
  • A 6.2% overall win rate for S. Torrens. Good jockeys make better decisions during a race.
  • 19 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Winless from ten races with no top-3 finishes and absent from the track for over seven months before returning recently. Current form is dismal — 13th and 8th in the last two outings — and the long layoff combined with a blank record makes this a hopeless case.
Winless from 10 career races

Wearing tongue strap Back after 88 days off Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • Has raced 5 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
  • Has been off the track for 88 days. That is a long break. Some horses come back fresh. Others need a run to get fit again.
  • This is a 19-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field at 72 (12 pounds below average), winless from 14 races with just one place finish, and raced only once in the last 197 days. Recent results show 10th, 10th, and 15th — a dire form line that confirms she has no place here.

  • Has raced 3 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
  • 19 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
A 7-year-old winless mare with just eight races and one place finish across her career — raced yesterday and finished 8th, her most recent effort suggesting she's not competitive at this level. Limited data and poor recent form make her a long shot at best.

Wearing blinkers Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • This type of ground has not suited the horse: 5 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
  • 33 days since the last run. That is a usual break, so there is nothing to read into it.
  • 19 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Carries the lowest weight in the field as a 5-year-old, but has never won from ten races and hasn't finished in the top three either. Recent form shows consecutive double-figure finishes (11th, 8th, 10th), and the lightweight assignment won't mask a fundamental lack of ability.

How odds work
Wearing cheekpieces Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before
Why this score
  • Has an official rating of 99. This is a score from the official rater, and a higher number means a better horse. This horse is rated well.
  • Has run 4 times at this track with no wins yet. Some horses do not take to some courses.
  • 19 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
Top-rated in the field at 99, yet hasn't won from 19 tries — a stark contradiction that speaks to a horse that has ability on paper but fails to deliver. Back from just 27 days ago and teaming up with a new jockey for the first time; the form line shows recent 8th and 9th finishes, and this won't be the race where the pattern breaks.

Back after 667 days off Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • A. J. Martin has won 9.4% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
  • D. King wins 8.9% of all their races. That is a strong record. A jockey who wins often gives a horse a better chance.
  • A 19-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Absent from racing for 448 days — nearly 14 months — and returning from a complete blank record of 0 wins from 3 races. The timing is remarkable; she was last seen finishing 12th at Ballinrobe well over a year ago, and there is simply no recent form to assess.

Wearing tongue strap Won 1 of last 5 Has won on this ground
Why this score
  • A 20% win rate on this ground from 5 runs. Just like people, horses have favourite surfaces. This one likes today's ground.
  • Rated 93 by the official rater. That is a strong number based on past results.
  • 19 runners today is not the number this horse wants. The number of runners changes how a race is run.
TrackLab Insight
The only confirmed winner in the field (1 from 7, a 14% win rate), with that success coming at Uttoxeter on soft ground. She has the best record on normal ground too (1 from 5), but her last two runs show deteriorating form — 8th and then 6th — and the gap since that win in June is telling.

Why this score
  • The trend in recent results is up. Each run has been better than the one before, which is encouraging.
  • Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
  • A 19-runner race works against this horse. Too many runners can mean getting boxed in. Too few can mean nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Relatively inexperienced at just four career races, the 5-year-old mare has never won but has shown two finished in the top 3 finishes. Most recent outing was a distant 13th, and the lack of data and weak recent form leave plenty of questions unanswered.

Won 0 of last 5
Why this score
  • A low win rate on this ground from 4 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
  • Today's race is over 2m 4f. That distance looks right for this horse. Running over the right distance matters a lot.
  • This is a 19-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
An outsider at 66/1 with zero wins and zero finished in the top 3 finishes from six races, and recent form is dire — 16th, 9th, 10th, 14th across the last four outings, with a pulled-up effort 17 days ago. Nothing here suggests a competitive chance.

TrackLab Insight
Winless 6-year-old from 12 races with zero finished in the top 3 finishes, raced 17 days ago and finished 10th — poor recent form offering no encouragement. The data describing two top-3 finishes in the last three races appears to be an error, as the actual results show 10th, 10th, and 4th, indicating she's not competitive.

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.
