never better than mid-division, not fluent 4 out, pushed along and no impression from 2 out (an inquiry was held into the running and riding; vet said that a post-race examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities; jockey said his instructions were to get the gelding into a good rhythm, to jump well and to finish his race off better than it had done previously, he added that he was happy the way the gelding travelled early on, in what he felt was a slow early tempo, he continued to explain that the gelding made a bit of a mistake 4 out, after which he had to ask for an effort to get the gelding back on the bridle and thereafter jumped 3 out big, he further added that having made those mistakes he felt it was necessary to keep a hold of his head to ensure that he met the last two hurdles on the correct stride to avoid falling, he continued that the gelding had been outpaced from 3 out and in his opinion may benefit from a step up in trip; his explanations were noted)

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.
