How odds work
Why this score
  • An 8-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
  • Set to carry 168 lbs. In racing every pound counts, and this horse is not carrying too much.
  • A 0% record at this course for D. Donovan. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
This seven-year-old is the standout on bare figures: a 43% career win rate (best in the field), three straight top-three finishes, and a devastating 75% win rate on good ground — exactly what we have today. The market favourite at 5/2 has won three of his last six races and has previously thrived at this course and distance, making him the horse to beat in a tightly bunched race.

Underrated horse

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 £4.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • A 20% win rate on this ground from 5 runs. Just like people, horses have favourite surfaces. This one likes today's ground.
  • A 37.1% win rate at this course for H. Derham. Trainers who know a course often send out their horses well suited to it.
  • A 4-year-old is not at the ideal age. Very young horses can be immature, and older ones may have lost their edge.
TrackLab Insight
This four-year-old finished second at Huntingdon just 13 days ago, showing he has the course form to contend, and has won three times from 13 races with a solid 33% win rate in Class 4 company. Recent inconsistency — a seventh at Chepstow sandwiched between course and wins elsewhere — makes him hard to trust despite the local knowledge and near-miss last time out.
One of the more successful in the field (3 career wins)

Bet £1, get £5.50 back if it wins

  • Has won at this course over this distance
  • Its first race in 211 days
Won 1 of its last 5 racesHas won at this course onceHas done well on this kind of ground
Underrated horse

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 £5.50 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • This is an 8-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
  • A. King wins 14.8% of all their races. That is a solid record. Good trainers get horses ready well and pick the right races.
  • An average finish of 4.7 over recent runs. Finishing in the middle or further back so often counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
The only course winner in the field (1 from 1 at Huntingdon), this six-year-old also boasts a win over this exact distance, making him genuinely well-suited to today's conditions. A 25% career win rate masks a solid top-three win rate of six from eight races, showing he competes consistently at this level. Underrated at 9/2 given the course form, though a 211-day absence since his last run is a concern.

Bet £1, get £8.50 back if it wins

  • Raced again soon after its last run
  • Won 1 of its last 5 races
Has done well on this kind of ground
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £8.50 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • 8 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
  • Has yet to win over this distance. It is like asking a sprinter to run a marathon. Distance matters, and this horse has not shown it can win here.
  • Its average finish over the last three races is 3.7. That is too far back. Its results have not been steady lately.
TrackLab Insight
This four-year-old won at Plumpton just eight days ago and brings genuine momentum to the field, having won three times from 15 races overall. He suits the two-mile distance well and has raced three times in the last month, suggesting he's sharp and in form — but his poor record on soft ground and first-time partnership with the jockey add uncertainty. Recent winning form is his calling card here.
One of the more successful in the field (3 career wins)

Bet £1, get £17.00 back if it wins

  • Wearing cheekpieces (sheepskin that helps it focus)
  • Won 0 of its last 5 races
Has done well on this kind of groundHas won over this distance twice
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £17.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • F. O'Brien has a good 22.2% record here. A trainer who does well at one course is worth noting.
  • F. O'Brien has won 15.9% of their races in their career. Trainers at this level know how to get horses ready.
  • Aged 5, the time when a horse races at its best is short, and this age is not ideal.
TrackLab Insight
Editorial opinion ranks this five-year-old as the top-rated runner on 121, three pounds clear of Blues Singer, though the recent form tells a harsher story: two fourth-place finishes and a seventh in his last three races. A strong 40% record on good ground and 50% win rate at this distance support the rating, but the drift from 1/9 to 20/1 reflects genuine questions about current form and whether he can turn things around.
Best record at this trip (2 from 6)

Bet £1, get £22.00 back if it wins

  • Its first race in 242 days
  • Won 1 of its last 5 races
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £22.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • This is an 8-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
  • Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
  • Has not raced for 242 days. That is a long time away, and we cannot be sure the horse will be fit enough.
TrackLab Insight
This five-year-old has been knocking on the door for two months without quite breaking through, finishing in the top three in four of his last six races but managing only one win from seven career outings. The longest absence in the field at 242 days away suggests ring rust could be a factor on his return, despite the recent form line looking respectable. Underrated at 9/1, but the layoff and modest win rate make this a horse to monitor rather than back with confidence.
Absent 242 days (longest in field)

Bet £1, get £81.00 back if it wins

  • Its first race in 170 days
  • Won 0 of its last 5 races
Has won over this distance once
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £81.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • Has raced 7 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
  • Racing against weaker rivals than last time. Think of a Premier League team playing in the Championship. The drop in level helps.
  • S. Hollinshead wins only 0% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
This five-year-old is among the most experienced in the field with 18 races behind him, but a grim 6% win rate (just one victory from 18 outings) tells the story — he simply does not win races. His sole win came at this distance, which is the only positive angle, but a 170-day absence, zero wins on good ground from seven attempts, and a poor record on right-handed galloping tracks like Huntingdon make him a difficult proposition at 66/1.
Among the more experienced (18 career races)

Bet £1, get £101.00 back if it wins

  • Its first race in 109 days
  • Won 0 of its last 5 races
Fair price

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £101.00 back.

How odds work
Why this score
  • Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
  • An 8-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
  • A 5% record at this course for D. J. Jeffreys. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
This four-year-old filly is the lowest-rated horse in the field (18 pounds below average) and has yet to win from ten career attempts, with only two top-three finishes to show. Running in Class 5 races with a 0% win record at that level, she is operating at the ceiling of her ability and carries 50/1 odds that reflect her slender chances in what is a significantly stronger race.

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.
