Last odds: 8/1 Jockey in form (5 wins in 14 days) Won 0 of last 5 7.8 lengths
towards rear of midfield, pushed along and still plenty to do before 3 out, headway 2 out, kept on and went third run-in, eyecatcher (jockey said, regarding the running and riding, his instructions were to sit mid-division, get the gelding jumping and to finish as strongly as possible. he explained that he was slightly short of room both jumping and just after the second flight which left him further back in the field than ideal and amidst green horses which were running around and in turn unbalancing his own horse. he added that rounding the final bend he was pleased with the way the gelding was travelling but met with further traffic in the home straight and although the gelding jumped well, he had to bide his time and it wasn't until after the last that he had found clear space. he was pleased with the gelding's finishing effort, maintaining that he had achieved his best possible placing. he added that he would be recommending that the gelding should stick to 2 miles, but that he might benefit from a more galloping track where he could get into a better rhythm. the trainer's representative confirmed the instructions and that the ride accorded with the instructions given)

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.
