towards rear, in touch with leaders 3rd, dropped to rear before 6th, slightly hampered 5 out, steady headway from 4 out, went second and ridden then ran on well run-in, just failed (an inquiry held into the running and riding; jockey said his instructions were to ride the gelding in the second line of horses on the inside to middle line; he reported that he was happy with his position until he lost it when going out on the final circuit, he continued that having regained the position he allowed gelding to become detached leaving the back straight, being mindful of the heavy ground, with his priority being to get the gelding to finish strongly; jockey acknowledged that his riding from leaving the back straight until the final fence was inadequate and as a result of his inexperience in the saddle; trainer agreed with the instructions, that the ride did not accord with them; he expanded that his first concern arose when gelding lost his position going out on the final circuit and that having done so jockey never fully regained his position or composure in the saddle, which resulted in the rider asking effort much too late in the home straight)

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.
