All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
TrackLab Insight
The standout concern here is the absence — this horse has not raced for 266 days, the longest break of anyone in the field, and returns having finished fourth and fifth in its only two previous outings. Horses coming back from that kind of layoff can be ring-rusty, though trainer Ralph Beckett wins roughly 1 in 5 races with his horses, suggesting this stable knows what it's doing. At 4.2, it's the second pick in the market, so clearly the betting public see more promise here than the bare form suggests.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
Absent 266 days (longest in field)
Super Value
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 3.75, and the most in-form horse in this race — second at Catterick, then second again at Kempton just 15 days ago, beaten less than a length. No horse in this field has finished runner-up three times in five races, which makes Korbut the standout on recent consistency, even if that elusive first win keeps slipping away. Stall 1 is in the best part of the draw at this course, which is another tick in its favour.
Market favourite (3.75)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Only two races in, but this horse has placed in both of them — second and then third — which marks it out as one of the more consistent performers in this field. Last time out at Kempton it was beaten by just one length, the closest finish on its record, suggesting it's getting closer to winning rather than drifting further away. It races from stall 4, right in the low draw zone that performs best here, which is a small but useful bonus.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
A first-time racer stepping out of the stalls for the very first time today, so there is genuinely nothing to assess from a form perspective. Stall 11 is the highest draw in the race and sits in the bracket that historically wins least often at this course and distance. A tongue strap has been fitted, which is used to help a horse breathe more freely — notable on a first outing, as it suggests some homework has been done at home.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Two races, two fourth-place finishes — consistent, but consistently just outside the places where it matters. This horse races from stall 2, which is in the low draw bracket that has the best record at this course and distance. Trained by Charlie Johnston, who is one of the more prominent names in this field, there's a reasonable case that better is still to come.
Lightly raced (2 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Racing for the first time today with no previous form to speak of, so any assessment is pure guesswork. Stall 3 is a low draw, which is the most favourable part of the track at this course and distance — a small edge over the other debut runners. Trainer Jack Morland and jockey Robert Havlin haven't won together yet from three attempts, which is a thin sample but not an encouraging one.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Making its racecourse debut today with no form to judge it by — a complete unknown stepping into the unknown. Trainer Charles Hills and jockey Rob Hornby have won together roughly 1 in 9 times, which is a decent partnership by any measure. At 16.0, the market rates this as one of the more interesting first-timers in the field, ahead of several horses that have already raced.
Racecourse debut
TrackLab Insight
Seven races and still waiting for a first win, this is the most experienced horse in the field but hasn't got much to show for it. Back at Wolverhampton where it finished fifth twice in a row, familiarity with the track doesn't seem to be doing it any favours. The hood it's wearing today is a piece of headgear designed to help a horse focus — a sign that the trainer is trying something new to unlock a better performance.
Mid-range in the market (26.0)
TrackLab Insight
One race, one sixth-place finish — there is almost nothing to go on here. The high draw in stall 9 is a slight negative at this course, where horses drawn in the top half of the field win less often. The trainer and jockey have won together roughly 1 in 3 times as a pairing, which is an excellent ratio, but that means little when the horse itself is such an unknown quantity.
Lightly raced (1 career races)
TrackLab Insight
The form guide shows an 8th place finish, but that's misleading — this horse has actually never raced before and that figure appears to be an error in the data. Everything about this horse is an unknown, and at odds of 101.0, the market has firmly made up its mind. The jockey and trainer have never won together in 17 attempts, which does nothing to inspire confidence.
Outsider at 101.0
TrackLab Insight
Seventh and ninth in its only two races — the worst finishing record of any horse in this field that has actually raced. One of those runs came right here at Wolverhampton 19 days ago, where it was beaten nearly 15 lengths, so there is no obvious course form to cling to. At 71.0, it is the second-longest shot in the race and the market is not being kind.

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.
