£1 wins £2.50 · 24 Strong chance

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £3.50 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- This is a 7-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
- A 9.7% overall win rate for C. Gethings. Good jockeys make better decisions during a race.
- Mrs J. Williams wins only 7.7% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
Jaminska is the market favourite and a genuinely solid performer on normal ground, winning roughly 1 in 3 races on fast surfaces. But she's struggled badly on good-to-soft ground—0 wins from 9 starts—and has posted two sixths in her last six races, suggesting her form has dipped from the days when she was a reliable top-3 finisher.

- Has not won at this distance before. We do not know if the race length suits the horse.
- T. Lawes wins only 0% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
Flash Man is a four-year-old on an upward curve with three straight top-3 finishes including a win, suggesting he's learning his trade quickly over hurdles. His earlier career on the Flat in France shows he has some ability, though he remains lightly raced and unproven at higher levels.

- Rated 124 by the official rater. That is a strong number based on past results.
- Has won here 1 time in 1 visit. That record at this course is a good sign.
TrackLab Insight
Macktoad is the only course winner in the field—a Class 2 victory at Sandown just weeks ago shows he can win at the top level when conditions suit. However, he's never raced on normal ground and has lost his last two starts badly at Cheltenham, raising questions about whether that Sandown win was a genuine breakthrough or a one-off.

- A 15% overall win rate for B. Hughes. Good jockeys make better decisions during a race.
- Last raced 40 days ago. That is a normal gap between runs.
TrackLab Insight
Rascallion carries an underrated label and has won once in nine races with a solid record on good ground (1 from 3). His recent efforts show back-to-back second-place finishes before a sixth last time out, leaving questions about whether he's capable of converting chances or merely competitive at distances without quite being able to finish the job.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £7.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- This is a 7-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
- A 3.2% record at this course for T. Symonds. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Lady Magic is the least experienced runner in the field with just four career races, but she won her most recent start 279 days ago and has a strong record at Kempton (1 from 3). Her 227-day absence since last racing at Sandown raises serious concerns about match fitness after such a long break.
Relatively inexperienced (4 career races)

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £8.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- This horse runs well on today's ground, with a 21% win rate from 14 runs. The ground makes a big difference in racing.
- 7 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
- A 5.6% record at this course for G. Brown. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Easter Icon carries an underrated label and brings the most experience in the field—38 races with 8 wins at roughly 1 in 5. He's excellent on standard ground (4 wins from 11 starts) and well-suited by this distance, but his recent form has been patchy with a fall and two sixths in his last six outings.

- This is a 7-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
- Has run 1 time at this track with no wins yet. Some horses do not take to some courses.
- An average finish of 3 over recent runs. Finishing in the middle or further back so often counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
St Pancras has the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 3 races, but there's a major caveat: he hasn't raced in over a year and is returning from a 337-day absence. His record on this ground (2 from 6) and trip (2 from 5) is solid, but a long layoff makes timing uncertain for a horse attempting to recapture old form.

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.
