TrackLab Insight
Market favourite but hasn't won from 7 races, and his last run was 71 days ago—a lengthy absence for a young horse, though he did run a close second here last time out. The betting support suggests the yard has confidence, but he remains winless and competing against faster horses with recent racing.
Best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 4 races, and he's backing it up with three consecutive top-three finishes including a Nottingham win just 37 days ago. The major question mark: he's never raced on normal ground before, making this an unknown quantity despite his hot form.

Trainer Quotes
Aug 2025
"We thought he'd be a lot sharper than he has proved. We've given him a break and gelded him and we'll try to bring him back in the second half of September for a nursery over a mile on ground with a bit of give in it. Hopefully, off a mark of 53, we can get him winning. 20-08-25"
Second-highest rated in the field but hasn't won in 6 races and has finished no better than fourth. His recent form shows consistent mid-field finishes with no strong momentum, making him look like a solid rating on paper that hasn't translated to the winning post.

TrackLab Insight
Only horse in the field with a win at this distance (3 from 27 races), and by far the most experienced with 43 races under his belt—nearly triple the field average. His recent form is patchy, but he's proven on firm ground where he wins roughly 1 in 8 attempts, making him a serious player if the track stays quick.

Trainer Quotes
May 2026
"He was a very expensive yearling in his day and I bought him at the end of his three-year-old career. I think he'd been used as a lead horse at Richard Hannon's and it took us a while to get him sweet again, but he's won multiple races and has given his owner, Eric Gadsden, a lot of fun. He had a disappointing season in 2025 but he's come back this year after a nice break and was third at Windsor last week behind Seventy, when I thought he ran a good race. We've tried to train him a little bit differently this year to get a bit more enthusiasm into him. He's handicapped to win a race, too, as he won off 76 at Newbury in 2024 and is down to 62 now. He'll probably go back to Windsor again next as it's his owner's favourite course. 14-05-26"

TrackLab Insight
Winless from 6 races but placed in 2 of her last 3 outings, suggesting she's hovering on the edge of a breakthrough. However, she's never crossed the line first and faces stiff competition from horses with proven recent form—the fact she hasn't won yet is the real story here.
Winless from 6 races and competing on normal ground for the first time, which is a genuine concern for consistency. His recent third at Nottingham (16 days ago) is the bright spot, but the overall pattern shows a young horse still searching for direction.

TrackLab Insight
Lowest-rated runner and carries a massive problem: zero wins on normal ground or firm ground from 16 combined attempts. His only victories came at Ayr on softer surfaces—this is a track specialist who's fundamentally unsuited to today's conditions.
Lowest rated, 3lbs below averageBest record on this ground (1 from 11)
Winless from just 4 career races with only one placed finish (a third), and he's never raced on normal ground before. His recent form is poor, his racing schedule sporadic, and he looks seriously outclassed in this lineup.
Carries the lowest weight but is lightly raced (3 attempts) and has never raced on normal ground before—too many unknowns. Winless from those 3 races with no placed finishes, she's clearly the least proven runner in a competitive field.

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.
