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.

TrackLab Insight
Tommy Pickles comes here as the favourite and the only horse in the field with a proven win at this exact distance (1 from 3 at 2m 4f), but there's a major concern: he hasn't raced for 211 days, by far the longest absence in the field. His career record is modest at 1 win from 5 races, though he has finished in the top 3 on three other occasions, which suggests he belongs at this level even if he hasn't always won.

TrackLab Insight
Edelak is the standout here on form and class—a sharp hitter who wins roughly 2 out of every 5 races and holds a 17lb rating advantage over his rivals. His record on normal ground is excellent (3 wins from 7 runs), and he's proven at this 2m 4f distance, but a 47-length defeat at Chepstow just 8 days ago is a red flag that suggests he may not be at peak sharpness right now despite stepping up in class to take on weaker opposition.

- Has raced 7 times on this ground with a low win rate. Today's ground may not suit it.
- This is a 3-runner race, and the size suits this horse. Some horses prefer a small field with less traffic. Others do well in a crowd.
- D. Thompson wins 5.3% of their races overall. That is below the top trainers.
TrackLab Insight
Rock Armour is the most experienced runner with 30 races under his belt, but the numbers are brutal: just 1 win in his entire career and 0 wins in his last 20 races. He fell at Hexham 8 days ago and has never won on good or soft ground, which makes his prospects here extremely difficult despite a finishing third at this track 39 days ago.

TrackLab Insight
The market favourite with a victory at Galway just 41 days ago, but form reads backwards: she won, then finished third, then fifth yesterday. A major concern is that she has never raced on soft ground like this—all three career runs came on better surfaces.

TrackLab Insight
Top-rated by 16 lengths and on a run of three straight top-3 finishes, including two seconds beaten by half a length or less—this is a horse that genuinely looks ready to break through. The concern is the same one that's plagued her throughout nine races: she hasn't won yet, despite being so close so often.

- Has yet to win over this distance. It is like asking a sprinter to run a marathon. Distance matters, and this horse has not shown it can win here.
- Has been off the track for 220 days. That is a long break. Some horses come back fresh. Others need a run to get fit again.
- P. Enright has a 6.2% 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
The only course winner here—all three runs have been at Limerick, and she's finished in the top 3 every time, including a second place and a near-miss third. However, she hasn't raced in 220 days and has never tackled soft ground, which could catch her out.

TrackLab Insight
Eight races without a win, though two second-place finishes suggest she can get close—most recently beaten just half a length. The rating of 98 is second-best in the field, but the lack of consistency is a concern: she's only finished in the top two twice in her last six runs.

TrackLab Insight
Also a four-year-old racecourse debutante with no prior form and bloodlines that speak to solid racing stock rather than something special. Trained by Paul Nolan, who also trains Coffeemorninggirls, but being a debut runner in a competitive field is a significant disadvantage.

TrackLab Insight
Three races without a win but two top-3 finishes, with the most recent a second place just 87 days ago—proof she can get close. The worry is the 87-day gap since that run and the fact she has never raced on soft ground.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced runner here with 26 races under her belt, but wins roughly 1 in 13 attempts and hasn't raced on soft ground before. Her two wins both came at Wolverhampton, not here, and a seventh-place finish at Killarney just 14 days ago shows she's not in top form now.

TrackLab Insight
One run, one heavy defeat (fifteenth, beaten 147 lengths at Galway 41 days ago), and has never raced on soft ground. The trainer's yard has winners this season, but this horse is a complete unknown quantity at the highest odds in the field.

TrackLab Insight
Two races without placing, pulled up at Limerick 293 days ago, and hasn't raced on soft ground before—now returning after 248 days away, the longest break in the field. There's nothing in her record to suggest she can make an impact here.

Making her racecourse debut as a four-year-old—coming to the track later than most horses in this field suggests the trainer took time with her development. Zero form to assess, and debut runners rarely deliver results in a field like this.

The market favourite at 6/5 with a standout record of three consecutive 2nd-place finishes—at Curragh, Navan, and Curragh again—each time beaten by narrow margins of 2.0L, 0.5L, and 2.0L respectively. Zero wins from four races reads bluntly, but the consistent top-3 form and recent pattern of tight defeats suggest a horse close to breaking through, though so far the results have not delivered a victory.

TrackLab Insight
Carries the Underrated label and makes her racecourse debut with an elite pedigree: by French Derby winner Study Of Man and out of a Frankel mare, arguably the best bloodline in the entire field. However, pedigree cannot predict racecourse form, and this remains a complete unknown on the track; the strong price of 7/2 reflects the market's respect for that breeding despite the lack of evidence.

Racecourse debut for a horse carrying exceptional bloodlines: by Kingman and out of a Frankel mare, a pedigree that speaks to pure racing class.

Three races without a top-3 finish, most recently 11th at the Curragh just 22 days ago, beaten 25.5 lengths. The solitary 4th-place effort hints at glimmers of ability, but the pattern across three outings reads as a horse struggling to find a level where it can compete effectively.

TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 6/4 after finally landing his breakthrough win at Hexham just 16 days ago—eight races into his career, so this is genuinely untested territory for him. He's won 1 from 8 overall and 1 from 5 on good ground; the maiden win is eye-catching, but it's impossible yet to know whether it signals a real change or simply relief after a long wait.

- An 8-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
- A 2m 5f race suits this horse well. When a horse is comfortable with the distance, it can settle into a good rhythm.
- Not enough recent runners for D. Thompson to judge their current form.
TrackLab Insight
Hot off back-to-back wins at Hexham and Cartmel, he arrives with real momentum and three straight top-3 finishes. The key to his form is the ground—on normal conditions he wins roughly one race in every five (3 from 14), yet he's never won on faster, firmer going; today's normal ground should suit him perfectly, though he's struggled on left-handed tracks like this one.

TrackLab Insight
Rated underrated despite being the lowest-rated horse in the field and carrying the lightest weight—she's never won a race, but she's finished in the frame in more than a third of her 14 outings (5 top-3 finishes), and her form at Cartmel has been steady if unspectacular. The data is thin, and a 14-race maiden is a serious concern, though her jockey and trainer combination has won three from nine together.

The only course winner in this field—he's won five times at Sedgefield from 20 attempts, a 25% win rate that explains why his trainer keeps coming back. He's also the only winner at this exact distance and holds the strongest record on soft ground (4 from 9); the danger is his complete blank on faster, drier going, and his recent form here reads mixed (2nd, 7th, and a refusal).

TrackLab Insight
A consistent performer who finished in the frame twice in her last three races—she's finished in the top 3 in roughly half her career outings (10 from 19) but won only once in May 2026. Her recent form has been almost entirely at Cartmel, and she carries 50 days' absence into this race; while her record suggests she'll be competitive in a frame finish, converting that into a win remains unproven at this distance.

TrackLab Insight
Just broke his duck at the 20th attempt, landing his maiden win in December—a positive sign, but just one win from 20 races tells you this is a horse who struggles. He's picked up two third-place finishes in his last three outings, which is something, yet his record on both soft and firm ground is blank, and he's never won on a left-handed galloping track like Sedgefield.

Rated underrated by the market despite finishing second by just 1.5 lengths at Hexham 16 days ago—he's won two of his 25 races overall, but his record in Class 4 (2 from 6) suggests he has genuine ability at the right level. The worry is his complete blank on soft or good-to-soft ground; if conditions here lean that way, he'll need perfect circumstances.

Top-rated in the field by 5lbs but drifted dramatically in the market—hard to know how much of that reflects genuine doubt or just uncertainty about his 296-day absence. He owns the best record on normal ground in this field (1 from 4), though that single win came over a year ago at Fontwell; returning after three months off is a real worry, and his last outing here ended in a pulled-up.

The seven-year-old has been absent for 226 days, so freshness could be an issue returning after such a long lay-off, and his recent form shows a 4th-place finish at Exeter was his best effort in that period.

She has never raced on normal ground before (this race is normal conditions), so how she handles these conditions is genuinely unknown, but the yard are Dan and Harry Skelton — one of the most prolific training partnerships in the sport — which suggests they see something worth developing.

- Has only raced on this type of ground once or twice, so it is hard to say if it suits the horse.
- 8 runners today is a good number for this horse. The number of runners affects how a race is run.
- Has been off the track for 218 days. That is a long break. Some horses come back fresh. Others need a run to get fit again.
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field with a win on his record — he broke through at Leopardstown 660 days ago and has two other finished in the top 3 finishes from four total races (25% win rate), which marks him out as a genuine threat. However, he steps up three classes from that victory and his most recent effort was a well-beaten 6th at Fontwell 218 days ago, so there are real questions about whether that early promise can transfer to this level and after such a long absence.

- An 8-runner race works well for this horse. The number of runners changes the pace and how much room a horse has.
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 4 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- Came 7th in the last race. It might have been an off day, or the horse may be losing form.
TrackLab Insight
This five-year-old has picked up three finished in the top 3 finishes from just five races, which is a stronger win rate than most of his rivals in the top-three-finish department, but he remains winless and has been off the track for 178 days. He has run at this track before (finished 3rd at Sedgefield 200 days ago), so there is some prior evidence he can handle Sedgefield, though the long absence and pattern of near-misses suggest he may struggle to convert.

TrackLab Insight
This four-year-old has raced eight times with just one finished in the top 3 finish and no wins — one of the poorest records in the field — and recent form has been a slog with only one top-three finish in his last six outings. The jockey-trainer combination has never worked together before, which adds another layer of uncertainty to a horse whose profile suggests he is struggling to find his level at this stage of his career.

TrackLab Insight
This four-year-old has zero wins and zero finished in the top 3 finishes from four races, making him the only horse in the field without a single top-three effort to his name. His most recent run 165 days ago was a well-beaten 10th at Fontwell, and the 4th-place finish at Chepstow before that (199 days ago) remains his closest approach to the placings, suggesting he is some way below the standard of several rivals here.

TrackLab Insight
Making his racecourse debut at five years old is unusual and suggests he was either a late developer or a targeted project rather than a horse rushed into competition. He is by Jack Hobbs, a sire known for stamina and honest temperament, out of an Act One mare, which points to a horse built for staying races — but a debut with zero prior form makes him an extreme unknown quantity in a field where most rivals have multiple races under their belts.

Humble Brag is the market favourite at 11/2 but has never raced on soft ground, which is a critical gap given today's conditions. He won just once in seven races (at Cork 161 days ago) and has struggled recently, with only one top-3 finish in his last six outings. He fell at Listowel 25 days ago and has a poor record on good-to-yielding ground (0 from 3), suggesting his single victory may have been on a fast surface that doesn't suit the soft.

Way Down South is an Underrated horse and carries the standout marker of a course winner with one victory at Limerick, plus a recent win at Tramore just 10 days ago that proves current form. The data shows a critical issue: he has no wins from five tries on soft ground and no wins from five tries on good ground either, making today's soft conditions a direct weakness despite his immediate sharpness. His excellent record on yielding ground (2 from 4) does not translate to pure soft.

Tell Me See is a 5-year-old winless after five races who has never tackled soft ground, placing him at a significant disadvantage today. His recent form shows consecutive 3rd-place finishes at Listowel and Kilbeggan, but then a drift to 5th, 8th, and 9th that suggests the improvement has stalled. He has no wins and his form trajectory is moving in the wrong direction.

Zambezi Moon won once in four races but has struggled for the past six months, with three poor finishes in his last four outings. The 2nd at Listowel 23 days ago offers a glimmer, yet the form trend is downward and the win rate of 25% is flattered by a single Cork success back in April. He's rated 111 but the evidence suggests he may be overextended at this level.

Cool Native is winless under rules after four races, though she won a point-to-point before joining Gordon Elliott's yard, suggesting latent ability. She has never raced on soft ground and has only two top-3 finishes in four outings, most recently a 3rd at Downpatrick 96 days ago. The 96-day gap is considerable given her light record, and soft ground remains uncharted territory.

However, he pulled up at Cork just 7 days ago and has no wins from six tries on heavy ground—soft conditions remain unproven for him at this track.

TrackLab Insight
Six-year-old chasing his first win since June 2024—nearly two and a half years without a victory. His 14% win rate from 28 races is honest enough, but the long drought and a 15th-place finish at Leopardstown just 36 days ago suggest he's lost whatever spark he once had.

TrackLab Insight
Nine-year-old with 43 career races and a glaring Achilles heel: zero wins on good ground across 14 attempts. His recent back-to-back wins at Listowel came on softer surfaces he thrives on, but this race on normal ground sits outside his comfort zone. Course specialist at Listowel he may be, but that expertise doesn't travel to Leopardstown.

TrackLab Insight
Runs back just three days after a 13th-place finish at the Curragh, an aggressive schedule that raises red flags. His 18% win rate looks solid but masks a horse struggling badly at right-handed galloping tracks (0 from 6) and with zero wins at the Curragh in six attempts—a pattern that repeats here.

Three-year-old with a 33% win rate specifically on standard/good ground, which is exactly what he faces today. However, his last run was a 13th-place defeat at the Curragh just 14 days ago, and he has yet to prove he can carry that ground preference into consistent form.

Dexperts Opinion is the market favourite at 11/4 and has won two of his three career races—a remarkable 67% win rate—including a victory at Worcester just this week. This is a lightly raced six-year-old hitting top form at exactly the right time, and he has finished in the top 3 in all three outings. The main risk is that three races is a tiny sample and he has never been tested at this level or distance before.

Red Delta has been away for 26 weeks—longer than any rival—and returns after a string of poor efforts including an 11th place finish. He wins roughly 1 in 5 races on his day and showed some spark on good-to-soft ground, but the lack of recent racing and absence of a win in nearly half a year make him a serious question mark.

Top-rated among the field at 110, but the raw form is unconvincing: six races without a win and never tested on soft ground before this marathon test.

TrackLab Insight
This 3-year-old has won just once from seven races and hasn't run for 79 days after a disappointing 11th-place finish at Galway. He's never won on good ground and his recent form shows no sign of a breakthrough; the earlier win at Gowran Park has not been followed by consistent improvement. At 16/1, he sits in the middle ground of the market but faces an uphill task against more in-form rivals.

TrackLab Insight
This 3-year-old filly has won twice from nine races and has finished second or fourth in her last two outings, showing she remains competitive. She's well suited to distances of a mile and one furlong to a mile and two furlongs and has a good record on yielding ground at 33% wins. Her main weakness is a complete lack of success on fast, dry ground—she's never won from three attempts—which represents a genuine concern for today's normal conditions.

This 9-year-old is the only winner at today's distance in the field and has won twice from six races at a mile and two furlongs, but he's been absent for 121 days—the longest layoff in the race—and his last two runs ended in seventh place. He's yet to win at Leopardstown in five attempts and has a poor record on anything softer than good ground, making a quick return to form here a tall order.

TrackLab Insight
This 4-year-old filly has won just once from 14 races and is returning to action after finishing fourth at Dundalk just 23 days ago. She's failed to win on standard ground or good ground despite multiple attempts at each, and the jockey-trainer combination is yet to deliver a winner from four races together. Her only victory came at Ballinrobe 90 days ago, and there's no evidence of sustained improvement since.

This 3-year-old is running again after just seven days, having finished sixth at Naas and looking far from impressive. She's won once from nine races and hasn't delivered a winning performance since June, going sixteen months without victory despite multiple opportunities.

Thyer has solid form on good ground with two wins from seven starts and was second by just 0.5 lengths at The Curragh only three weeks ago. The 48-day gap since his last run is a concern after that nearness, but his track record at this distance suggests he has the tools to compete.

TrackLab Insight
Spacebound is the outsider here with no wins from five races despite two second-place finishes that suggest he's in the ballpark. His trainer has been sending out winners this season, but the horse has yet to convert that support into a breakthrough, and his most recent fourth at The Curragh came just two weeks ago.

Dark Viper is the only course winner in the field with three victories from six Leopardstown runs, a win rate that towers above the competition. He showed he can handle good ground and thrives at this distance, though his recent fourth at Dundalk suggests he's not firing on all cylinders right now.

Harana is relatively inexperienced with only eight career races but shows consistency in running up the placings—she's finished in the top 3 three times in her last six outings. The concern is she's won just once in those eight races and has never won on good ground like today's surface.

Top-rated by 16 pounds and the editorial selection, but returns after 197 days away — the longest absence in the field — and his last two runs (7th and 18th) suggest he may need the outing to find his feet.

- A 20% win rate on this ground from 5 runs. Just like people, horses have favourite surfaces. This one likes today's ground.
- Has yet to win over this distance. It is like asking a sprinter to run a marathon. Distance matters, and this horse has not shown it can win here.
- This is a 17-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
Three straight top-3 finishes but the most recent of those—a 14th at Leopardstown 36 days ago—tells a different story than the win at Fairyhouse four months back. Wins roughly one in eight races and is well suited by 1m6f–2m (50% win rate), yet recent form is not convincing and he has yet to win on yielding ground.

The only course winner in this field, having taken a race at Leopardstown in May, though that victory now sits four months in the past. Sixth at this track just 36 days ago suggests he may not be thriving here; wins roughly one in six races overall and is well suited by the 1m4f distance, yet recent form does not inspire confidence.

Young three-year-old on an upward curve with one win and three top-3 finishes from four races (25% win rate), though only one of his last three runs has hit the top three. Ran fifth at Killarney just 13 days ago, which shows he is being raced regularly; the editorial team sees progressive form here, and at 8/1 there is room to work with.

The four-year-old wins roughly one in seven races but transforms when the distance hits 1m3f–1m4f (67% win rate); today's 1m4f suits that profile, yet the quick turnaround and poor record on soft ground are concerns.

She hasn't raced in 27 days and finished 12th last time out by 15.8 lengths at Fairyhouse, a heavy defeat that erases the promise of earlier top-3 finishes at Leopardstown. This is a long way back from form.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £11.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- A low win rate on this ground from 3 previous runs. The ground could work against the horse today.
- Has not won at this distance before. We do not know if the race length suits the horse.
- K. Thomas Coleman has a 5.5% win rate at this course. It is not their strongest track. Some stables do better at some tracks than others.
TrackLab Insight
Winless from 12 races with only 2 minor top-3 finishes across his career, and recent form is alarming: 19th at the Curragh 14 days ago by 23.5 lengths represents a serious loss of form. This is a horse running out of chances and offers little to suggest improvement today.

How odds workWhy this score
- Handles this ground well, with 20% of its races won on it. The ground can change a horse's chances a lot.
- The Good ground works in this horse's favour. The ground makes a big difference in racing, and today it helps.
- A. Slattery has a 6.8% win rate at this course. It is not their strongest track. Some stables do better at some tracks than others.
TrackLab Insight
A course winner at Leopardstown with genuine credentials on his preferred ground: 20% win rate on good ground and 25% on yielding. However, he has zero wins on standard ground from 4 attempts—a critical weakness on a course where conditions are described as normal today. His recent form (2nd at Down Royal) is respectable but not compelling enough to overcome the ground concern.

TrackLab and the bookies agree on this horse's chances. Bet £1, and if it wins you get £17.00 back.
How odds workWhy this score
- Has run 2 times at this track with no wins yet. Some horses do not take to some courses.
- Today's ground is Good, and that suits this horse. Like athletes who prefer one type of surface, horses have favourite ground.
- This is a 17-runner race, and the size is not ideal. A big field means more traffic. A small field means nowhere to hide.
TrackLab Insight
The standout on form and record: 3 wins from 15 races (20% win rate, best in the field) and he's won 2 from 8 on normal ground—exactly today's conditions. His recent win at Bellewstown and consistent placing pattern show a horse in rhythm. The 82-day absence from his last race is the only concern, but his career trajectory and ground suitability make him genuinely interesting.

How odds workWhy this score
- This type of ground has not suited the horse: 4 runs without much success. Some horses prefer different ground.
- 2 runs here without a win. That counts against the horse. The track layout may not suit it.
- A 6.8% record at this course for A. Slattery. This is not a track where the trainer has done well.
TrackLab Insight
Showing genuine improvement with top-3 finishes in 2 of her last 3 races, most recently 3rd at Thurles 10 days ago. She owns 2 wins from 8 races at the 1m1f-1m2f range, but this 7-furlong test is shorter than her ideal trip and she has zero wins on good ground. The recent form momentum is her best asset, but the race setup works against her.
