Why this score
+4 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
+Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
−I. Furtado wins only 9.4% of the time here. That weak record at this course counts against the horse.
TrackLab Insight
Top-rated runner in this field by 4lbs, and recent form is sharp—2nd at Newcastle three weeks ago was his third consecutive top-3 finish, building from a win at Redcar. The question mark is raw consistency: he's won only 1 of 5 races overall, so the current purple patch could easily dip, but the trend is clearly upward.
+This is a 4-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
+No wins at this distance yet. We cannot tell if the race is too long, too short or just right.
−Today's ground is Standard, and that is not ideal. A horse on the wrong ground can run much worse.
TrackLab Insight
Market favourite after winning at Newcastle last week, and his win rate of roughly 1 in 5 races is solid for a two-year-old. However, the price has drifted heavily (from 1/5 to 13/8), and his form outside that Newcastle win is poor—he's finished 6th and 9th in his previous two starts, suggesting the victory may be his ceiling rather than the start of a run.

+A 15.1% overall win rate for C. Rodriguez. Good jockeys make better decisions during a race.
−This trainer's horses often do not finish their races. That makes them harder to trust.
TrackLab Insight
Best win rate in the field at 40% (2 wins from 5 races), with both victories coming recently at Bath and Brighton, and carries the lightest weight here at 127lbs. The major concern is ground: never raced on normal conditions before—both wins came on different surfaces—so this represents uncharted territory for the filly.

+A 4-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
+Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
−Finished 10th last time, which was a disappointing run. A poor last run raises questions about the horse's current form.
TrackLab Insight
Lowest rated horse in the field at 73, and form has deteriorated sharply—10th by 20 lengths at Nottingham three weeks ago is a poor marker. With only 2 wins from 13 races and recent form trending downward, this horse faces an uphill task against rivals in better current order.

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.

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.
