TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite and the most obvious candidate in the field — Mrair is one of only two horses here with any racecourse experience, and that debut run at Newmarket last month produced a second-place finish, which is a very solid starting point. The editorial verdict singles this horse out as the one to beat, and the booking of Ryan Moore, one of the best jockeys in the world, underlines that confidence. In a field full of unknowns, prior form and a top jockey are significant advantages.
Racecourse debut
Market favourite (1.29)
TrackLab Insight
No racecourse form to go on, but Rapid Deployment is trained by Ralph Beckett, who wins roughly 1 in 5 races when paired with jockey Rossa Ryan across nearly 850 races together — that is a well-established partnership worth respecting. By Zoustar out of a No Nay Never mare, the breeding leans heavily towards speed and early ability over six furlongs. Even so, this is still a debut, and the market has it well behind the favourite.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Another first-timer with no racecourse form to assess, though the breeding points towards speed — sire Sioux Nation and a dam by Exceed And Excel both have strong sprinting pedigrees, which suits this six-furlong test on dry ground. The hood worn today is sometimes used to help a young horse focus on its first outing, suggesting the team have done some homework on what this horse needs. Still, debut form is always a guess.

TrackLab Insight
Rogue Imperial finished fifth on its only race to date and has never raced on dry ground — today's conditions are an unknown quantity for this horse. Running again just 12 days after that debut is a quick turnaround, and the step up to dry ground could go either way. There is very little evidence to work with, and the untested ground conditions make this one of the harder horses in the field to assess.
Never raced on dry ground
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
First time on a racecourse with nothing in the form book, but the breeding is eye-catching — sire Blackbeard was a brilliant sprinting two-year-old, and the dam is by Exceed And Excel, another speed influence. That pedigree is well suited to six furlongs on dry ground, and if any debutant here has the raw material to be sharp on day one, this is a candidate. The price of 51 reflects the uncertainty, but the bloodlines give some reason for interest.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
A complete debutant with no form to speak of, Storm Blade is one of several first-timers in this field asking punters to take a leap of faith. Trained by Andrew Balding, whose partnership with jockey Callum Hutchinson has produced around 50 wins from 348 races, there is at least a stable with a reasonable record behind this horse. But without any prior form, it is impossible to separate Storm Blade from the other unknowns on anything other than breeding and hope.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Blue Skies Above had a rough introduction to racing just yesterday, finishing eighth on debut — and now lines up again almost immediately. Racing back so quickly after a difficult first outing is unusual for a young horse, and there is little in the form book to suggest a dramatic turnaround is coming. Hard to make a case for this one at this stage.

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.
