All Runners — sorted by TrackLab Score
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite and arguably the most compelling case in the race — it has already won over this exact course and distance, giving it an edge no other runner can claim. Three wins from eight races (winning roughly 2 in every 5) is an excellent rate for a three-year-old, and it arrives on the back of a win 29 days ago. Drawn in stall 2, which sits in the favourable low draw zone at Wolverhampton.

3 straight top-3 finishes
Market favourite (2.9)
TrackLab Insight
Two wins from six races gives it one of the better records in this field, but recent form has tailed off — a 6th and an 8th in its last two runs sandwiched around a close 3rd. This is a new jockey pairing with no previous races together, which adds an unknown element. Drawn in stall 4, in the favourable low-draw zone, at least gives it a positional advantage.

TrackLab Insight
Like Bone Marra, this horse has already won over this exact course and distance — making it one of only two runners who can say that. Three consecutive top-three finishes shows it is in consistent form right now, and the 7-furlong trip suits it well based on its record. At 11.0 it could be underestimated, even if Bone Marra holds an edge as the shorter-priced course-and-distance winner.

TrackLab Insight
This horse has been off the track for 135 days — the longest absence of any runner in the field — so there are real question marks about its sharpness returning from such a long break. Its second-place finish at this very course 192 days ago is a positive reference point, and it handles normal conditions well. But form that old, combined with the layoff, makes it a risk at 9.0.
Absent 135 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Rated 12lbs below the field average — the lowest-rated runner in the race — but carries the lightest weight as a result, which partially levels the playing field. Crucially, it won at this very track 60 days ago and has finished in the top three in three races in a row, showing it is in the form of its life right now. The rating gap is significant, but course form and current momentum make it genuinely interesting at 12.0.
Lowest rated, 12lbs below average
Carries lowest weight in field
3 straight top-3 finishes
TrackLab Insight
Tops the official ratings by 5lbs over most of the field, which makes it the standout horse on paper — but the market has cooled dramatically from an early price of 1.1 to 8.0, suggesting punters have had second thoughts. Drawn high in stall 9, which is historically the worst part of this track at this distance, winning just 8% of the time. One win from eight races is a modest record, and recent form at Chester has been unremarkable.
Among the fancied runners (8.0)
TrackLab Insight
Still searching for a first win from six career races, but context matters: it has been competing mostly at a higher level (Class 2), which is tougher than today's race. A 4th here at Wolverhampton 46 days ago shows it has course experience, and drawn in the lowest stall (1) gives it the best possible position at this track. Racing in blinkers, which are sometimes used to sharpen a horse's focus.
Outsider at 16.0
TrackLab Insight
Hasn't raced in 106 days and its last run was a 5th, beaten 8 lengths at Southwell — so its return to form after a long break is far from guaranteed. The positive is that 7 furlongs appears to suit it, with a win rate of roughly 1 in 3 at this trip specifically. Carries the same low weight as Trust Amy and is ridden by an apprentice jockey, which gives a small weight allowance.
Best record at this trip (1 from 3)
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field with 10 races under its belt, but that experience has produced just one win — a rate of roughly 1 in every 10 outings. A 3rd last time out at Chester is its best recent showing, but two 8th-place finishes before that tell a more honest story. Rated 7lbs below the field average, it faces a stiff task against better-rated rivals.

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.
