Newmarket

Has been fitted with cheekpieces, a piece of equipment designed to sharpen a horse's focus — often a sign the trainer is trying something different to spark an improvement. Recent form has been poor though, with a distant ninth last time out, and he's never raced on dry ground. His best performances have come at shorter distances than today's seven furlongs.

Hasn't won in three races and hasn't been seen on a racecourse for over six months, which are two straightforward obstacles to overcome today. She does have the low draw (stall 1), the most favourable position on the track here, and her second-place finish at this course last autumn shows she can handle Newmarket. Both her jockey and trainer have drawn a blank in the past two weeks, which doesn't add confidence.

Carries the lowest weight in the race and is rated 12lbs below the field average — the least fancied on official ratings in the entire field. She's been off for six months and has never won in three races, though she has at least finished in the top four every time she's run. Saffie Osborne, who has been in fine form lately, takes the ride which gives this some small interest.

The most experienced horse in the field by some distance — 12 races compared to an average of 5 for her rivals — yet she's rated 12lbs below the field average, suggesting the extra experience hasn't translated into improvement. She's also 0 from 5 on dry ground, which is exactly what she faces today, and her jockey has never ridden her before. The editorial notes she's interesting back up in trip, but the evidence for optimism is limited.

Races again after just five days, which is a very quick turnaround — he was ninth at Lingfield less than a week ago. The positive is that the data shows he actually has a decent record at today's distance of seven furlongs, winning 1 in 3 races at that trip, which stands out in his profile. At 42-1 though, the trainer hasn't had a winner in 19 attempts over the past two weeks, making it hard to be enthusiastic.

Finished 11th at this course just 18 days ago, beaten nearly seven lengths, and that followed a 16-length defeat before it. The most experienced horse in the race after Paroda Diva, but the form has gone the wrong way and at odds of 41-1 the market has made its view clear. His strongest form has come at shorter distances than today's seven furlongs.
