TrackLab Insight
The editorial flags him as a standout, and his record on normal ground — the conditions today — is the best in the field, with 4 wins from 22 races on this type of surface. The catch is that he has never won at Lingfield across 8 attempts, which is a nagging concern. This is also the first time his jockey Rossa Ryan rides for the trainer, so there's no established partnership to lean on.

Trainer Quotes
Dec 2025
"He's been great for us on the Flat this season, winning on turf at Bath and then at Kempton on the all-weather last month. Richard Venn found him for me at the sales. We were looking for an entertainment horse for Kate Digweed and her parents. He bought us a good, tough and consistent horse. He'll carry on running on the all-weather during the winter and fingers crossed we can pick up another race at some point. 01-12-25"

TrackLab Insight
The market has made him favourite at 4.5, backed by the editorial as being on an attractive mark for his new yard under trainer Ollie Sangster. The jockey-trainer combination here wins roughly 1 in 3 races together, which is a strong return. The one worry is that his career win rate is just 1 in every 22 races — the market is essentially betting the new yard can unlock more than the form book currently suggests.
Market favourite (4.5)
TrackLab Insight
The most straightforward concern in the field: this horse has never won across 14 career races, and the jockey-trainer combination has also failed to win together across 14 shared rides. Last time out ended in an unseating at Nottingham, which adds another question mark. A close third at this track 168 days ago shows some ability, but the evidence of a win coming is thin.
Winless from 14 career races
TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 6, but almost all of that form is built elsewhere — he has never won at Lingfield across 5 attempts. His specialist track is Southwell, where he wins 4 from every 10 races, which is a remarkable record but largely irrelevant today. A third-place finish here 32 days ago shows he's in decent form, though a win at this course remains elusive.
Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
TrackLab Insight
One of only a handful of course winners in this field, which at least gives him a proven connection to Lingfield. However, his last two runs here produced a 7th and a 6th, and his odds drifting from 1.1 to 13.0 tells you the market has lost faith quickly. Runs roughly 1 in 18 races in his career — that's a modest record to build a case on.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Here's an interesting angle: both of this horse's career wins have come right here at Lingfield, making her one of the few genuine course specialists in the race. She also has a solid record on normal ground — the conditions today — with 2 wins from 12 races on this type of surface. The concern is that her last three runs have all been disappointing, and she's been off the track for 41 days.
One of few course winners (2 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
She has actually won over this exact course and distance before, and her record at 6 furlongs is the best of any horse in this field — winning 3 from 11 races at this trip. The problem is her recent form has fallen away sharply, with an 8th and a 7th in her last two outings, and she has never won on normal ground across 5 attempts. If conditions were faster today, she'd look a much stronger proposition.

Best record at this trip (3 from 11)
TrackLab Insight
The data here is limited and honest: no wins, no placed finishes from 5 career races, and this horse hasn't raced for 284 days — the longest absence in the field by a wide margin. On top of that, it has never raced on normal ground, so today's conditions are an unknown. Carrying the lowest weight in the race is a theoretical advantage, but there's very little else in the evidence to suggest a first win is coming.

TrackLab Insight
He has won over this course and distance before, which is a meaningful tick in a field where course form is rare. But he's among the lowest-rated horses in the race, and his last two outings produced a 6th and an 8th, including a poor run at Lingfield 32 days ago. Wins roughly 1 in 17 career races, and with 9 runs on left-handed tracks without a win, the track configuration here is a recurring issue.

TrackLab Insight
Like Chasing Gold, Top Star is still searching for a first win from 14 career races, and last time out at Nottingham he finished 10th, beaten nearly 13 lengths. The jockey-trainer combination hasn't won together across 7 shared rides either. A fourth at Lingfield 32 days ago is the best recent evidence, but the overall picture is of a horse that hasn't yet found a way to win.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
