took keen hold, held up in rear, slow jump 2nd, headway and went modest fourth after 3 out, hit 2 out, ridden and kept on run-in, never near to challenge (an enquiry was held into the running and riding of the gelding, which was held up at the rear of the field before being asked for an effort in the straight where it ran on strongly. Both the jockey and trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of the race and the vet reported that a post-race examination of the gelding, during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities. jockey said that his instructions had been to drop the horse in and to attempt to relax and settle the horse as he had run very freely on both of his previous starts. In addition, he said that the horse had jumped novicey when schooling at home and that it was therefore his intention to get the gelding jumping. He continued he did not want to pass a horse early and to instead sit slightly detached from the field as he would have got lit up if he had attempted to pass a runner in the early stages. He therefore did not begin to improve his position until rounding the home bend on the final circuit and he did not begin to ask for an effort until after jumping the third last. Having done so, he stated that the gelding had run on past tired horses, before making a slight error at the second last. The trainer confirmed the instructions and that the ride had accorded with them)

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.
