held up in midfield, headway when jumped right and nudged along 3 out, went fourth 2 out, jumped right and 5 lengths down last, ridden and ran on well run-in, went third final strides (enq held into the running and riding of the gelding, which raced just worse than mid-division throughout until being asked for a hands and heels effort in the home straight, until jumping the last hurdle from which point the gelding finished nicely to finish third of twelve runners, beaten by 2 1/4l. Rider explained that as stable jockey, he was given no specific instructions but as the gelding was very keen and did not finish his race off on hurdles debut, he planned to switch the gelding off by getting cover in the early stages and ride him to hopefully finish the race off better. Jockey added that the gelding settled better on this occasion thanks largely to a strong gallop, although he still raced keenly in the early stages, a fact he reported at scales. Jockey said he felt the gelding's jumping improved once he found a rhythm and eventually settled after some untidy early jumps, before going on to say that down the side of the course approaching the home turn, he had been unable to improve his position due to finding himself behind rivals, all of which were not taking him forward into the race and thus prevented him from keeping in touch with the leaders. This resulted in him being further back than ideal when looking to mount his challenge off the home bend, however once clear in the home straight the gelding was slightly wayward and inclined to race greenly, but still finished pleasingly and responded to his use of the whip after jumping the last hurdle, which is still approx 1 1/2f out)

Scores in a race add up to 100.How scores workModel estimates, not guaranteed. Past performance is no guide.
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.
