TrackLab Insight
Soldier's Tree is the market favourite and the editorial selection, and its consistency is the reason — it has finished in the top three in every single one of its five career races. It has been rated at 118, the highest official rating of any runner in this field once adjusted, and arrives on the back of two consecutive third-place finishes at Ascot and Salisbury, showing it is in good shape. With only one career win to its name, the question is whether it can finally convert that reliability into victory.

Symbol Of Honour has the best win rate in the field — winning 1 in every 3 races — and boasts a remarkable record at this exact distance, winning 5 from 9 races over six furlongs. Crucially, it has won at Newbury before and has a 60% win rate on fast, dry ground, which matches today's conditions perfectly. The one concern is a poor record on right-handed tracks like Newbury, where it has yet to win in five attempts.

Rated 103, Binhareer is one of the lower-rated horses in this field and faces a tough ask against rivals ranked well above it. A narrow second-place finish at York 66 days ago showed promise, but a distant sixth at Ascot last time out suggests it struggles when the quality rises sharply. With Soldier's Tree and Symbol Of Honour rated 5 points higher, this one needs a career-best to compete.

Song Of The Clyde is the youngest horse in the field at just three years old, but it is also one of two course winners here, having scored at Newbury just 63 days ago. It wins on dry ground at an impressive rate — two wins from four attempts — and its overall win rate of 33% rivals Symbol Of Honour as the best in the field. A 7th at Ascot last time out breaks its otherwise consistent record, but previous Newbury form gives it a genuine foothold in this race.

On paper, Jasour's rating of 116 makes it one of only two horses capable of threatening the favourite — but recent form tells a very different story. A 17th-place finish at Ascot last time out, beaten by over 32 lengths, is a serious red flag, and it has gone 0 wins from 7 races on normal dry ground. Its odds have drifted sharply from 9.5 to 16.5, suggesting the market has little faith in a turnaround.

"He's won at the track and was third in last year's Commonwealth Cup. He was only sixth on his reappearance at Haydock but he didn't have a great lead-up with a bruised foot and he was a little bit fresh, so I'd hope he can take a big step forward from that. 10-06-25"

"Right from day one he looked a little bit special. His homework suggested he was good enough to win on his debut, but he was a little unlucky there as he went down by a neck having jumped the road at Salisbury. He won next time out at Nottingham, again over 5f, but I thought he was crying out for an extra furlong on that occasion. He could have gone to Royal Ascot but he just wasn't ready. He progressed from his win to his third run in the July Stakes at Newmarket. I was positive about his chances there and he duly obliged, running out an impressive winner. We now have to decide which route to take. I am not one to waste my owner's money on lots of fancy entries, so you can tell how much I thought of him as I had given him an entry in the Gimcrack before he ran at Newmarket. But if he went to the Gimcrack he probably could not go for the Group 1 Prix Morny which is just over a week later, but if he goes to the Richmond at Goodwood on Thursday there would be the ideal time between races. So, at the moment I'm leaning towards Glorious Goodwood, but we will see how the horse is before finalising plans. 02-08-23"

Noble Champion carries the highest rating in the field at 112, four pounds clear of its nearest rivals, but has not won in over a year and pulled up in its last completed race at this level. A ninth-place finish at Newcastle just 21 days ago does nothing to inspire confidence, and it has never won on normal dry ground in four attempts. The market has it as a 19-1 outsider despite the lofty rating — a telling gap between potential and current form.

Mitbaahy is one of only two horses in this field with a previous win at Newbury, which counts for something on a track where course experience matters. However, it has never won on fast, dry ground in six attempts, which is a significant concern given today's conditions. At seven years old and with a 12th-place finish at Doncaster on its recent record, it arrives needing things to fall perfectly.

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.
