TrackLab Insight
Carries the lightest weight in the field, which gives it a physical advantage, and its best form over seven furlongs to a mile suggests the trip is right. However, it has never won on dry ground in five attempts, and three consecutive below-par finishes before today make this a horse that needs to rediscover something it showed earlier in its career.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"He's been gelded since winning twice in a busy first season and could be a progressive handicapper. He's been training well. Things didn't go his way on his return at Newbury but he ran well in defeat. His trip will be 7f to a mile and we hope he could make into a horse for the Britannia at Royal Ascot. 22-04-26"

TrackLab Insight
The only horse in the field to have won here at Newmarket, which is a meaningful edge in a tight race — the editorial verdict makes it the narrow selection on ratings. However, it has raced 31 times for just 2 wins, and its record on normal or soft ground is a blank across 16 attempts, so it needs today's dry conditions to be closer to fast than standard.
Only course winner (1 from 11 here)

Top-rated in the field by 5lbs, which is a clear advantage on paper, but it has never won at Newmarket in six attempts and has no wins on dry ground across seven tries — a significant red flag for today. That said, at just three years old it is the youngest runner here, and younger horses can improve quickly enough to make ratings look stale.

TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the best career win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in 5 races — with a recent win at Goodwood just six weeks ago keeping it in form. The catch is a clean record of zero wins from seven attempts on dry or fast ground, which is exactly what it faces today.
Best career win rate in field (1 in 5)
Market favourite (4.5)

Sits in the highest draw in the field at stall 7, and at Newmarket over a mile that is a genuine disadvantage — low draws win here at twice the rate of high ones. Its best form has come on softer ground, and like most of this field it has no wins on the dry conditions it meets today.
Best record on this ground (1 from 6)

TrackLab Insight
The longest absence in the field — 106 days off the track — is a real concern, and its last three runs all ended in double-figure finishes. This horse has a remarkable record at Newcastle (winning 1 in 3 there), but today is Newmarket, and it has never won on the dry ground it faces here.
Absent 106 days (longest in field)

TrackLab Insight
Three consecutive top-three finishes and the best record in the field at this trip of one mile — winning 3 from 8 races at the distance — make this one of the more interesting runners despite carrying the lowest rating. The problem is stark though: zero wins from four attempts on dry ground, and today's conditions look firmly against it.

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.
