TrackLab Insight
The standout horse in this field by a clear margin — rated 7lbs above his nearest rival and the only one running with three wins in a row behind him, most recently at Kelso just 10 days ago. He wins roughly 1 in every 4 races across his career, and on normal ground like today he has won 4 from 7 — a remarkable record. The odds have drifted from what looked like a near-certainty, which is worth noting, but on paper he is streets ahead of these rivals.

Trainer Quotes
Mar 2026
"He originates from Denmark, which is very unusual - you won't find many of them around. He was with Gavin Cromwell and is one that we're looking forward to. We'll try to find a weak maiden or novice hurdle and he'll also run back on the Flat once we get an official rating. He's shown plenty of speed. 04-03-26"

TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field proven at today's trip of 2m 5f, which is a genuine edge over rivals who have not been tested at the distance. The concern is hard to ignore though — three consecutive races without finishing, including two unseated rider results in a row, which raises real questions about his jumping at the moment. Until he gets round cleanly, that course-distance advantage is difficult to trust.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2025
"He's been an absolute legend. I think he's run 13 times since Christmas, and he's won four of them. He loves good ground and staying trips, and hopefully he'll continue to be a lot of fun. He'll probably have a winter holiday and come back for the spring. 05-11-25"

"Novice hurdling is the plan for him and he jumps well, while he performed to a good level in his bumpers, finishing in the places on all three starts. It was a shame he didn't win one, but Datsalrightgino didn't either. 28-09-23"

TrackLab Insight
Rated 20lbs below the field average — the biggest gap of any horse in the race — and still without a win from 15 career outings, so the data does not offer much encouragement. Recent runs have been a string of fourth and fifth places at Exeter and Wincanton, suggesting it competes without threatening. The weight allowance it receives helps, but it faces a steep climb to trouble the top two in the ratings.

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.
