7.9 lengths
held up in rear, not clear run over 1f out, no impression (jockey was questioned regarding his riding of gelding over final 2f after reporting at scales that he had been denied a clear run in home straight; jockey was questioned specifically as to why he had appeared not to make greater effort to improve his position and obtain a run that existed between rivals for some distance approaching final furlong; in explaining his riding jockey indicated that due to his positioning down the inner at rear of field, he had made the decision from leaving back straight to ride for luck and search for inside runs rather than potentially be forced extremely wide when mounting his challenge; he continued by saying that he wanted to be certain that the run which presented itself shortly after straightening for home remained open as he was conscious that a rival in front of him had set a solid pace and was giving ground, whilst that rival was also under pressure to his outside and his rider had whip in his right-hand; for this reason he had been reluctant to fully commit gelding into a gap which in all likelihood would close; however he was nudging gelding along and keeping the revs up at same time before, as he had anticipated passing 1f marker, gelding was denied a clear run between rivals and had to check off heels; he added that there were two factors behind his thinking in not committing for what he considered to be a low percentage gap, firstly that gelding was dropping back in trip and is not known for having a turn of acceleration and secondly that he had suffered a very heavy fall on the all-weather in October 2024 and considered that by putting gelding into a narrowing gap, which it would not have the pace to necessarily quicken through before it closed, would present a heightened opportunity for him to suffer serious interference)

Scores in a race add up to 100.How scores workModel estimates, not guaranteed. Past performance is no guide.
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.
