Super Value
TrackLab Insight
The market has made this the clear favourite at under 3-1, yet Luan has never won a race in five attempts and has no placed finishes either. What's grabbed punters' attention is a win at Newcastle 18 days ago — though the career data shows zero wins and zero places, so that result needs treating with some caution until confirmed. A 9th here at Wolverhampton just 42 days ago is harder to ignore.
Market favourite (2.88)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Carries the lowest weight in the field, which is the one thing the data has going for it. Three career races, three finishes deep in the field — 7th, 11th, and 10th — with a 50-day gap since the last run adds further uncertainty. The jockey-trainer combination hasn't won together in three attempts, and there is no obvious angle to suggest this race will go differently.
Carries lowest weight in field
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The standout course specialist in this field — both career wins have come right here at Wolverhampton, from just five races at the track. That's a record no rival can match, and a third-place finish here 42 days ago shows the course form is live. The overall record of 2 wins from 24 races is modest, but when the venue is right, this horse delivers.
Course specialist (2 wins from 5 here)
TrackLab Insight
The form horse of the entire field — back-to-back wins in the last two races, and a third-place just before that, meaning three consecutive top-three finishes. She also carries the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in every 6 races, and her record at today's distance of 1m4f reads an impressive 50%. The catch is she has never won on the type of normal or standard ground conditions associated with Wolverhampton.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
TrackLab Insight
Rated highest in the field alongside Roman Secret and Luan at 55, and the editors' top pick, though they're candid that confidence is low in what looks a wide-open race. Two wins from 31 races — roughly 1 in every 15 outings — doesn't inspire, and recent form shows three finishes no better than fifth in the last six runs. The best thing in its favour is form at today's distance, where it has won before.
Best record at this trip (1 from 10)
TrackLab Insight
The least experienced horse in the field with just four career races, so there's simply not much data to go on. A runner-up finish at Chepstow 38 days ago showed she can compete, but that came after two much heavier defeats and she has yet to win. Stepping into a 12-runner competitive race asks questions a horse with this little experience may not yet be ready to answer.
Relatively inexperienced (4 career races)
TrackLab Insight
At eight years old, Virtual Hug is the eldest in the field and also one of the most experienced course performers — three wins from 30 races here at Wolverhampton, a record only Roman Secret can rival in this lineup. Six career wins from 56 races shows this horse finds the winner's enclosure occasionally, and recent form includes a win and two placed finishes from the last three runs. Consistent rather than brilliant, but Wolverhampton clearly suits.
One of few course winners (3 wins here)
TrackLab Insight
Form has taken a sharp upturn recently — a win at Windsor followed by a runner-up at Ayr puts her in the best shape she's been all year. Today's distance of 1m4f looks a genuine plus, with a 25% win rate at this trip compared to just one win from 16 races overall. The worry is a poor record on the type of standard ground typically found at Wolverhampton, where she hasn't won from 10 attempts on similar conditions.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Three races in and nothing to show for it — finishing 8th, 5th, and 6th — and now a new jockey today in a first-time pairing with the trainer. At three years old there is plenty of time to improve, but the recent form offers little encouragement, including a 29-length beating last time out. Hard to make a case for this one on the data available.
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
By some distance the most experienced runner in the field with 68 career races — more than three times the field average of 20. Three of his six career wins have come here at Wolverhampton, which at least gives him a course record to point to. The problem is recent form: three finishes of 10th, 4th, and 10th in the last three runs, and he's rated 5lbs below the field average, suggesting the handicapper still has the upper hand.
Most experienced (68 runs, field avg 20)
TrackLab Insight
Rated joint-lowest in the field alongside Come On John, 5lbs below the field average, which tells you where the handicapper has this one pegged. One win from 17 career races and no wins in six attempts at Wolverhampton makes for difficult reading. The jockey-trainer combination has yet to win together from 11 races, adding another layer of uncertainty.
Lowest rated, 5lbs below average
TrackLab Insight
Facing a jump of three class levels today compared to previous races, which is a significant ask for a horse that has yet to win or place in three career outings. Finishing 5th, 5th, and 8th doesn't suggest a horse ready to take on a step up in quality. The data here is thin and what there is points firmly in the wrong direction.

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.
