83
Won 1 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Perfect record from one race — won on debut at Ffos Las just 24 days ago and is back out already, suggesting the trainer sees genuine potential. As the market favourite and the only proven winner in this field, Wootz has every reason to be short odds, though racing the same horse twice in three weeks is an unusual ask for a three-year-old.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
Racecourse debut with an elite pedigree: by Frankel out of a Siyouni mare, two world-class sires that suggest this filly carries serious class potential. The second-shortest odds in the field at 9.4 reflect that bloodline quality, but she is untested and unproven on the track.

TrackLab Insight
One race on the clock, one placing — third at Pontefract 60 days ago — with no wins to show for it. At 6 years old with minimal racecourse experience and a two-month layoff, this horse is lightly raced even by the standards of this debut-heavy field.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
Making a racecourse debut with a high-class pedigree: by Gleneagles out of a Fastnet Rock mare, both sires known for producing fast, classy runners. The bloodline suggests genuine quality, but this is complete speculation until we see the horse run for real.

Fresh (88 days off) Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Seven races, zero wins, but the recent form tells a story of recovery: after a rough patch in the middle, Rua Mor has settled into consistent placed finishes, including two fifth-place efforts in the last three races. This four-year-old is the only horse in the field with genuine racecourse mileage and recent activity, though winning remains elusive.
Mid-range in the market (55.0)
C. Whiteley(5) · G. Tutty · 3yo · 9st 4lb
Form
1.6
Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
One race on record, one sixth-place finish 17 days ago at Hamilton — no wins, no places, but the trainer (Gemma Tutty) has 20 winners already this season. This three-year-old is lightly raced and unproven, though the yard behind it carries genuine form credentials.

L. Young(5) · J. Goldie · 3yo · 9st 4lb
Form
1.5
Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Another Gleneagles-sired debutant, this one carrying a Exceed And Excel mare in the pedigree — a different cross that blends speed with stamina. Trained by Jim Goldie (35 wins from 249 races with jockey Lauren Young), the yard has solid form, but there is no form to judge on the racecourse yet.
Outsider at 55.0
A. Elliott · S. Whitaker · 3yo · 9st 4lb
Form
0.4
Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Two races, two blanks — finished ninth most recently and tenth before that — without ever finding the winner's enclosure or a placing. At 130.0 odds and with a zero-win record, this three-year-old is the longest shot in the field and has yet to show anything competitive on the track.
Never raced on normal ground Lightly raced (2 career races)
M. P. Sheehy · B. Ellison · 6yo · 9st 10lb
Debut
0.1
First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
A 6-year-old making their racecourse debut is a red flag — most horses run their first race years earlier, raising questions about why this one has waited so long. With no form to judge and the least experienced profile in a field full of newcomers, this is a genuine shot in the dark from the Brian Ellison yard.

How do odds work? The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
