Fair price
TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £6.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
Highbury See See is the market favourite (5/1) and won at Leopardstown just nine days ago, showing sharp form. The four-year-old has a respectable 15% win rate and finished 2nd at Listowel 35 days ago, but he has never won on yielding ground and this very wet test will be his first on such conditions.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £7.50 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
JP's Express has three straight top-3 finishes, most recently a 3rd at the Curragh just 12 days ago, showing upward momentum. However, the three-year-old has zero wins on soft or good ground and only 1 win from 13 races overall, so consistency at this level remains unproven.

TrackLab Insight
Lady Arwen is a course winner at Galway and has an excellent record on yielding ground: 2 wins from 10 starts (20%). The seven-year-old is a specialist at Gowran Park (43% win rate) and shows the versatility of a seasoned campaigner, though a 15th-place finish at the Curragh just 12 days ago signals recent struggle.

TrackLab Insight
San Aer has won at this track and distance and boasts an excellent heavy-ground record: 2 wins from 12 starts (17%). The eight-year-old is the most experienced horse in the field with 58 races, but he has zero wins from 11 starts on yielding ground and has not raced in 49 days, raising freshness questions.

We think it's more likely to win than the odds suggest, so if it wins, it pays more than it should. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £17.00 back.

- Not enough recent rides for The jockey to judge their form. That is not good or bad news.
TrackLab Insight
Stable Lane is lightly raced (3 starts, no wins) and has not run on very wet ground. With just 139 days between his last race and this one, freshness is uncertain, and his best finish—a 2nd at Limerick—does not inspire confidence at this higher level.

TrackLab Insight
Sylkie is a clear specialist at Galway, winning 3 of 6 races here (50% win rate), and she has an exceptional record on heavy ground: 2 wins from 4 starts (50%). The five-year-old suits the 1m distance well (27% win rate) and looks tailor-made for very wet conditions at her home track.

- Very little experience on today's ground. With so few runs, we cannot say if it suits the horse.
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
Amplitude has won just once in 14 races and arrives here after a 7th-place finish at Gowran Park eight days ago. The worry is stark: zero wins across all ground conditions tested, making a breakthrough on very wet turf at Galway highly unlikely.

TrackLab Insight
Aquilla Star is one of the few horses in this field with a proven win at Galway, striking here 49 days ago—a real advantage at a track where so many rivals are searching for their first success. The three-year-old suits the 1m distance well but has never won on yielding ground, and very wet turf will test that weakness.

TrackLab Insight
Cherry Hill Girl has never run on very wet ground and carries a blank record on soft turf across four starts. Recent form is dire—a 10th at Naas just 16 days ago beaten 35.8 lengths—suggesting she is struggling and unlikely to find her feet here.

TrackLab Insight
Earls is the standout for wet-ground form in this field, with 3 wins from 12 starts on soft ground (25% win rate), and he won a Class 2 race at Haydock in April. However, he has yet to break his Galway duck in six attempts despite winning 38% at Roscommon, so this track remains a question mark.

TrackLab Insight
Excuzio Joe is another course winner at Galway and boasts an excellent soft-ground record: 2 wins from 6 starts (33%). The nine-year-old mare was narrowly beaten at Bellewstown 26 days ago, but her poor record on heavy ground (0 from 5) is a concern when very wet turf will demand precision.

TrackLab Insight
Flash Of Fire has never raced on very wet ground and won her only race on soft turf from just three starts there (33% win rate). Her recent form is patchy—a 5th at Naas and 8th at Cork—and the ground will be a first unknown test for this three-year-old.

TrackLab Insight
Never Loose is lightly raced with just 3 career starts and a 33% win rate, but she has not raced in 49 days and her form is slipping: a 7th at Galway seven weeks ago after winning at this track 12 months earlier. The long gap and lack of recent sharpness are clear concerns.

Titanium has an excellent record on heavy ground: 2 wins from 8 starts (25%), but he has zero wins from 10 starts on soft ground and has never won at Galway in 6 attempts. Raced just seven days ago with a poor 13th-place finish, so freshness and track form are both concerns.

TrackLab Insight
Flying Fortress has no wins on soft ground and finished 2nd and 4th at Roscommon in his last two runs before a heavy 12th-place defeat 15 days ago. Zero wins from six starts on soft turf and zero from three on yielding ground make the very wet conditions here a poor match.
Top-3 finishes in 2 of last 3 races
Why this score
- J. A. Nash wins 5.2% of all their races. That is a solid record. Good trainers get horses ready well and pick the right races.
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
Go Sioux Me has never raced on very wet ground and his only career win came over three years ago at Down Royal; since then, his form has been modest at best. The extended absence and lack of wet-ground experience make him an unlikely contender here.
Never raced on very wet ground
Why this score
- D. Browne has won 5.1% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
- There is little recent data for The jockey. Without enough rides, it is hard to judge their form.
TrackLab Insight
Speckled Meadow is a course winner at Galway and has a strong record on heavy ground: 2 wins from 11 starts (18%), plus 1 win from 3 on yielding ground (33%). The nine-year-old mare ran just nine days ago and shows the experience to handle wet turf, making her a legitimate contender.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
Why this score
- Not enough recent rides for The jockey to judge their form. That is not good or bad news.
TrackLab Insight
Cash Me has not raced in 349 days and returns after a 137-day absence before that, making fitness a serious question mark. The filly has never faced very wet ground in her career and is best suited to much shorter distances (wins 33% at 5-6.5 furlongs), so this 1m test on a mudbath feels poorly matched.

Absent 349 days (longest in field)
Why this score
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
Glyndwr has never run on very wet ground and is a specialist on standard ground, where he wins 50% of the time—but this is a Galway course he has never visited. The four-year-old is a Dundalk specialist (60% win rate there) and the switch to soft, unfamiliar turf represents a significant step into unknown territory.
Never raced on very wet ground
Why this score
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
Griselinia is lightly raced with just three starts and no wins to date, making her the least battle-hardened horse in the field. She has never run on very wet ground and was beaten 29 lengths at the Curragh 31 days ago, suggesting the step up to this contest will be too much.

Lightly raced (3 career races)
Why this score

TrackLab Insight
Harana has never raced on very wet ground and her recent form is uninspiring: a 6th at Punchestown 42 days ago and a 2nd at Navan, beaten 1.0 length. The four-year-old has won just once in eight races and shows no evidence she is suited to a mudbath.

Why this score
- The jockey has not had many recent rides, so there is little recent form to go on.
TrackLab Insight
Justenzia has never raced on very wet ground and her record is sparse: just 1 win from 20 races. She does have a soft-ground win (1 from 5 at 20%) and two recent 2nd-place finishes at Curragh and Cork, but the 6th-place effort at Roscommon 15 days ago suggests form has dipped.
Never raced on very wet ground
Why this score
- Not enough recent rides for The jockey to judge their form. That is not good or bad news.
TrackLab Insight
Lady Mary Heath has never won in 11 races and raced again just seven days after running at the Curragh, where she finished 5th. Her blank record and the very wet ground she has never encountered before make her a long outsider here.

Why this score

TrackLab Insight
Spectical has never run on very wet ground and is winless from 5 career races without a single top-3 finish, making him the least proven runner in this field. A 9th-place effort at the Curragh 12 days ago offers no evidence he can step up in class here.

TrackLab Insight
Xirivella has the best career win rate in the field at 17% (1 from 6 races) and won just 22 days ago at Killarney after placing regularly. However, she has never run on very wet ground and has zero wins from 4 starts on good ground, so the mudbath represents an untested challenge.

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.
