Last odds: 14/1 Wearing cheekpieces Jockey in form (3 wins in 14 days) Trainer in form 14 lengths
held up in rear, going okay but still plenty to do 3 out, soon short of room and switched right, pushed along when not clear run home turn, tenderly handled but keeping on when jumped right 2 out, edged left approaching last, stayed on, never dangerous (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to get the gelding to settle, take his time and ride the race as he found it as the gelding had failed to finish off his race having made the running at Wincanton on 8 January 2022. He explained that the gelding was a little free early on but soon settled into a rhythm at the rear of the field. He added that he began to make a bit of ground as they passed the winning post with a circuit to go but from this midpoint in the race the gelding had begun to hang right-handed, a fact which he had reported to Scales. Dingle further stated that at the end of the back straight on the final circuit, he switched his mount back in so as not to be stuck wide on the bend with his mount continuing to hang. He added that he was unable to ride out as vigorously as he would have liked due to the gelding hanging and that in the circumstances the gelding had obtained the best possible placing. He continued that in his opinion the gelding had finished the race off better on this occasion having been more relaxed and may in time benefit from better ground and a step up in trip; vet reported that a post-race examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities)

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.
