travelled strongly, towards rear, going okay but still plenty to do when switched to centre over 1f out, soon nudged along, kept on well inside final furlong, hung right towards finish, nearest finish (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to hold up the gelding in mid-field with cover and to bring it through for a late run, challenging through horses. He explained that he has ridden and won on the gelding previously when riding in a similar manner and, in his experience, it needs to be kept on the bridle for as long as possible. He added that, in his opinion, due to the slow early pace the field was compacted, preventing him from obtaining a clear run until the final stages of the race, a fact which he reported to scales. He continued that after obtaining a clear run the gelding picked up and finished strong in the closing stages; vet reported that a post-race examination 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.
