in rear, shaken up over 1f out, hung left when tenderly handled inside final furlong, never near to challenge (an enquiry was held into the running and riding, the rider and the trainer's rep were interviewed and shown recordings of the race, vet said that a post-race examination of the gelding, failed to reveal any abnormalities, jockey said his instructions were to bounce the colt out, obtain cover and ride his race from there, he said that after jumping well, he was able to travel nicely in behind runners and had asked the colt to lengthen and quicken up from approaching 2 furlongs, however inside the final 2 furlongs the colt had then hung markedly left-handed (a fact he reported at scales) which restricted his ability to put him under a greater degree of pressure, he added that he elected not to pull his whip through to the left-hand in order to assist correcting the colt as he was concerned that relieving the maximum pressure he had applied to the right rein, would enable him to move sharply left-handed and potentially cause interference to other runners, the trainer's rep confirmed the instructions and that the ride accorded with the instructions given; the stewards noted their explanations)

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.
