1.5 lengths
held up in last, headway and in touch with leaders 7th, headway on inner when short of room and hampered home turn, good headway approaching last, jumped right and went second last, ridden and ran on run-in, never near to challenge (an enquiry was held into the running and riding; vet said gelding was 1/5 lame on its left-hind; jockey said his instructions were to drop gelding out and ride him cold, as he is a buzzy type which needs to be ridden cold and kept on the bridle for as long as possible with a view to mounting his challenge late, which were similar tactics to those employed when he had won over course and distance on 25th November 2023; jockey said that the early pace was very strong, and he was content with his position throughout and was making nice headway into the race down the inner approaching the home bend until he was checked in his run and lost several lengths; he added that this resulted in him being further off the leaders than was ideal rounding the home bend and he was mindful that it would be detrimental to their chances if he placed the gelding under maximum pressure too soon and for this reason had nudged and squeezed the horse forward between the second last and last hurdles before asking for his finishing effort from the back of the last; trainer's rep confirmed the instructions and that he had spoken with the trainer after the race, stating that he was satisfied with the ride given and was of the opinion that considering the interference suffered, the jockey had achieved the best possible placing under a ride that had accorded with their instructions; their explanations were noted)

Scores in a race add up to 100.How scores workModel estimates, not guaranteed. Past performance is no guide.
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.
