towards rear of midfield, pushed along and lost touch 5th, ridden and stayed on from 3 out, never on terms (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, that his instructions were to be positive, but allow the gelding to find a rhythm and get his confidence whilst trying to achieve his best possible placing on this his first hurdle run. He explained that he was outpaced from the off due to the decent early pace so was further back than he had intended and lost further ground as the field accelerated down the back straight. He added that he was squeezing the gelding along and giving the gelding slaps down the neck in order to improve his position, and despite jumping well throughout had been unable to make up any ground until entering the home straight, from which point he was only passing tired horses which had tried to lay up with the pace and also came to end of its run jumping the last hurdle. Brennan confirmed he had reported back to the trainer that the gelding had jumped well but felt the gelding would appreciate better ground and a longer trip than today's 2 miles)

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.
