held up in rear, going okay but waiting for room home turn, pushed along and headway over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, kept on final 110yds, went second final strides (inquiry held into running and riding of gelding which was slowly away and raced in rear throughout before being asked for his effort from approaching 2f out and finishing second beaten 1 length; jockey stated his instructions were to take his time and ensure he got gelding settled early on; he further indicated that the pace was strong and gelding, if anything, relaxed too well adding ideally he would like to have been positioned a couple of lengths closer to the leaders; however jockey on Moon Knight seemed intent on staying one horse off the rail which would have left him posted three wide without cover; from leaving back straight jockey explained that winner was on the rail but that runner had been badly out of form and he could not be certain that tracking him into the race was a high percentage option whilst Three Dons was under pressure three wide going nowhere which would have meant committing with a long sustained run at least four wide around runners as pace was quickening so he remained following Moon Knight; jockey added that he had obtained a clear passage when squeezing through a gap between Moon Knight and Three Dons approaching home turn before mounting his challenge where he still felt confident that his mount would run down the leaders and gelding made strong headway until his effort flattened out inside the final 110yds)

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.
