Why this score
+A 14.1% win rate at this course for S. Quinlan. Jockeys who know a track well can pick the best ground and time their run.
+8 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
−S. Coltherd wins only 8.0% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
Treaty Boy is the market favourite at 9/4 after winning at Kelso just ten days ago, his third victory in 23 races. However, that recent run came on a different track, and the wider form shows he's capable of finishing well down the field—he was 4th twice in his last four outings before the win.

Why this score
+Handles this ground well, with 20% of its races won on it. The ground can change a horse's chances a lot.
+This is an 8-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
−C. Grant wins 7.3% of their races overall. That is below the top trainers.
TrackLab Insight
Natural Ability won at Sedgefield just 16 days ago and has a 20% win rate on good ground (2 wins from 10 starts)—by far his strongest surface. Both his career wins have come here, making him genuinely dangerous in today's normal conditions, though his 9% overall win rate reflects a horse that rarely performs well away from this track.

Why this score
+An 8-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
+Has raced 23 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
−A 4% record at this course for P. Niven. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Prospect House won just seven days ago at Uttoxeter and has five career wins from 33 races—one of the more reliable finishers in this field. He's a course specialist at Market Rasen with three wins from 12 starts there, though normal ground here suits him better than the soft surfaces where he has never won.
One of the more successful in the field (5 career wins)

−Last raced 35 days ago. That is a normal gap between runs.
TrackLab Insight
Langton Wold has won once at Sedgefield and showed promise when beaten only 1.5 lengths here 35 days ago, but he unseated at Hexham most recently and carries a poor record on good ground (0 wins from 11 starts) despite today's normal conditions. His 7% career win rate over 30 races puts him among the weakest in the field.

Why this score
+A Chase Turf race works in this horse's favour. Horses often do best in one type of race and struggle in others.

TrackLab Insight
Clean Getaway is the standout course specialist with six wins from 20 starts at Sedgefield (30% win rate) and the best career win rate in the field at roughly 1 win in every 6 races. He won here just 27 days ago and was back at the track 16 days ago, though he finished 5th that day—recent repetition suggests he knows this track inside out.

+An 8.9% overall win rate for J. Hamilton. Good jockeys make better decisions during a race.
−M. Walford wins only 6.2% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
Huit Reflets has his best record at this two-mile distance with two wins from nine starts, but his recent form is poor—he's finished 6th, 7th and 6th in his last three races. An 8% career win rate and no victories on soft ground make him unlikely to trouble the winner at normal conditions.

Why this score
+8 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
+This horse is suited to this Chase Turf race. A horse in its best type of race can just focus on running.
−A weight disadvantage of 7.9 lbs compared with the average for this race. Racing is decided by small margins, and weight matters.
TrackLab Insight
Getaway Jewel is the oldest runner in the field at 12 years old and carries the lowest weight, though he hasn't won at Sedgefield in nine attempts despite racing there multiple times. He won at Worcester 76 days ago but comes here off a 55-day absence, and his 10% career win rate suggests he's past his peak.

+A low win rate on this ground from 23 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
−A 0% record at this course for B. Murphy. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Applejack Poet has won just once in 37 races over nearly four years—a single victory almost three and a half years ago—and carries the joint-lowest weight at 153lbs. His recent form shows he's capable of finishing 2nd and 3rd at smaller tracks, but a 3% win rate puts him among the least likely winners here.

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.
