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, as a percentage. 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 a place. 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.

How odds workWhy this score
- H. Brown has won 21.7% of their races in their career. That steady record counts for a lot.
- H. Brown has a good 0% record here. Knowing the course is one of a jockey's biggest strengths.
- Has won here 1 time in 6 visits. That record at this course is a good sign.
TrackLab Insight
Zamond has finished in the top 3 in three straight races and is rated 99 by the editorial panel — three points ahead of the field. The 10-year-old wins roughly 1 in 9 races but has a strong record on good ground (17% win rate from 23 starts), and he was runner-up here just 19 days ago, making him a serious contender despite the drifted 5/2 price.

How odds workWhy this score
- Miss E. Callwood wins 50% of their races at this course. Knowing the track is an advantage for any jockey.
- A 9-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
- A 5% career win rate for Miss E. Callwood. That is on the low side and could matter today.
TrackLab Insight
This six-year-old's sole career win came at Sedgefield just 51 days ago and he returned to the same track 11 days ago to finish 2nd beaten only 0.8L. Rated 96 by the editorial panel with the best record on today's ground (1 win from 4 starts), Cadillac Ranch is in form and suited to the conditions, though his limited career experience (4 races total) leaves some uncertainty.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £5.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- A low win rate on this ground from 36 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- An experienced horse with 49 career runs. Experienced horses tend to be steadier and less likely to run badly.
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 36 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
TrackLab Insight
Clean Getaway is the standout course specialist at Sedgefield with 6 wins from 19 races there (32% win rate) — far better than his overall 16% win rate — and he won at this track just 11 days ago. Rated lowest in the field at 82 but carrying the lightest weight, this nine-year-old is a genuine force when conditions suit and he's proven form here is compelling.

How odds workWhy this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 12 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Today's race is over 2m 4f. That distance looks right for this horse. Running over the right distance matters a lot.
- Has had 24 days off since its last race. That is a routine gap that should not help or hurt.
TrackLab Insight
Curious Mrs Fox has produced three straight top-3 finishes including two 2nd top-3 finishes, most recently at Perth 24 days ago beaten just 0.8L, yet she remains winless after 33 career races. The five-year-old is consistently competitive but has never found a way to the front across her entire career, making this a familiar pattern.

How odds workWhy this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 17 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- 2m 4f is a good distance for this horse. Over its best distance, it can run its own race.
- D. Thompson wins 5.3% of their races overall. That is below the top trainers.
TrackLab Insight
Top Flight Century has won 2 of his 5 races at today's distance and was in action here 51 days ago finishing 4th. The five-year-old has a solid record on good-to-soft ground (33% win rate from 3 starts) but is rated 88 — well below the field average — and his overall win rate of 7% suggests this is a struggle for him.

How odds workWhy this score
- A low win rate on this ground from 4 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- Has raced here 1 time without winning. This course has not suited the horse so far.
- Has been off the track for 121 days. That is a long break. Some horses come back fresh. Others need a run to get fit again.
TrackLab Insight
Miss Friday Lions is winless from 12 career races and has been off the track for 121 days since her last outing at Market Rasen. The five-year-old has finished in the top 3 only three times across her entire career, leaving limited evidence she can compete effectively in this handicap.

How odds workWhy this score
- 2m 4f is a good distance for this horse. Over its best distance, it can run its own race.
- Wins 20% of the time on this type of ground. Some horses run much better on soft or firm ground. This one suits today's ground.
- A 6.2% record at this course for M. Walford. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
De Deli Counter is the longest absentee in the field at 163 days off the track, having last raced at Market Rasen where he finished 6th. The five-year-old has won just once from 10 career races and his return from a lengthy break against fresh rivals makes this a difficult puzzle to solve.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £23.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- 2 runs here without a win. That counts against the horse. The track layout may not suit it.
- Today's race is over 2m 4f. That distance looks right for this horse. Running over the right distance matters a lot.
- Miss N. Cookson has a 3.4% overall win rate, which is lower than we would like to see. A jockey who wins less often can hold back even a good horse.
TrackLab Insight
Asa has won 5 times from 32 races (16% win rate), making her one of the more successful horses in this field, but her recent form has deteriorated sharply — she finished 7th at Perth just 24 days ago beaten nearly 20 lengths. The seven-year-old also struggles on undulating left-handed tracks, which counts against her at Sedgefield.

How odds workWhy this score
- A 7.2% overall win rate for C. Grant. That suggests a trainer who picks the right races for their horses.
- C. Grant wins 8.8% of their races at this course. Some trainers aim horses at particular tracks, and this one does well here.
- At 7.9 lbs heavier than the average, the extra weight adds up, especially in the final furlong (the last 220 yards).
TrackLab Insight
Natural Ability won at Sedgefield back in November 2024 but has managed just one other top-3 finish in 21 subsequent races, and he was last seen here 11 days ago finishing 7th beaten over 44 lengths. The eight-year-old has won just once from 22 races overall and appears to be struggling for form.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
