HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Fair Flat winner finished ahead of a subsequent winner when second at Huntington, and having backed that up when runner-up over C&D (soft) last time, he has to be on the shortlist.

Hails from a family his yard has had success with but having shown promise in junior hurdles, he never looked like justifying support on handicap bow at Catterick in late-January (reported to have made a respiratory noise). Clearly thought capable of better, though.

Looked to be building up to something when fourth in a C&D handicap last September but disappointed both starts subsequently. However, he needs a close look in the betting with Sean Bowen taking over.

Justified support to get off the mark at Market Rasen in February and while he's remained in good heart with subsequent placed efforts there, his progress appears to have stalled.

Let down by his jumping on qualifying run at Plumpton in 2024 and was below his useful best on the Flat for Alan King last year. Has joined new connections for 10,000 gns ahead of this handicap hurdle debut, and he's worth a market check, his yard also saddling Spartan Times.

Strong-travelling sort won twice over C&D last year and is fancied to go close in a race that should be run to suit, following a creditable fourth on reappearance at Market Rasen.

Beat a subsequent winner to open his account on handicap debut at Plumpton before bumping into a well-treated one at Hereford last time. There still looks to be some mileage in his mark and he may well resume winning ways.

Runner-up over C&D before going one better at Warwick later in May, and he was perhaps still feeling those exertions, when finishing last of 4 in a Southwell handicap the following month.

Front runner notched a third career success here this time last year, and though she wasn't quite in the same heart when third in a course handicap chase in October, she could go close if revitalised by a break.

Off the mark in good style at Worcester in June before winning 4 times on the Flat. Down the field in testing ground on return to hurdles at Bangor in November, but may do better now handicapping under less testing conditions.

Yard has enjoyed an excellent rookie season, but this 6-y-o clearly isn't the easiest to win with, carrying his head a bit awkwardly when fourth of 6 at Market Rasen in March.

Winner at this track in 2024 but was having his first hurdle run for over a year when falling heavily at Hereford in December.

Posted his best effort since winning a maiden at Worcester when sixth of 8 in a handicap at Wincanton last November, though that form looks far from robust.

Remains a maiden over hurdles but ran one of her better races when (40/1) fourth of 8 at Hereford in early-March.

Has struggled for new yard, showing no signs of capitalising on her falling mark.

Fortunate winner of juvenile hurdle at Wetherby in October for Sam England but has struggled since, including on stable debut at Stratford in late-March.

Study Of Man gelding who matched debut form starting out for present yard when second behind a subsequent winner at Brighton (1m) back in the autumn. Pulled well clear of the remainder then and a repeat gives him obvious claims on return.

Shaped well when fourth on sole start as a 2-y-o and found some improvement when second on return from 10 months off at Kempton (1m) 4 weeks ago, headed close home. In good hands and she appeals as the type to progress further.

Fair form when placed on first 2 starts so rather disappointing she took a backward step when fourth in 7-runner Chelmsford maiden (1m) on latest outing in March. Still, far too soon to be writing her off given the stable she represents.

€15,000 yearling, Isfahan gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m-2m winner Abadan and 7.4f-10.5f winner Agent Excel, both abroad. Dam Belgian/German 1m-11.5f winner. Wears tongue strap for debut and one to note for leading stable.

No Nay Never colt who hails from an excellent family and he showed plenty of ability at long odds when third in a Chelmsford novice (1¼m) on debut in December. Displayed clear signs of inexperience then and he's very much the type to do better as a 3-y-o.

Showcasing filly who showed benefit of debut run, despite still looking green when fourth of 9 in novice at Lingfield (7f) 12 days ago. The way she saw her race out then suggests this step up to 1m can unlock further progress.

Dream Ahead colt out of a 1¾m winner who stayed 2m. Was at long odds for debut and looked backward when midfield in 25-runner Newbury maiden (1m) on debut 2 weeks ago. That experience ought not to have been wasted on him and expected to do better.

Ghaiyyath colt. Half-brother to German 1¼m winner Poyraz Approach. Looked in need of experience but hinted at ability when eighth in 10-runner Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m) 16 days ago. This promises to reveal more.

Study of Man filly. Half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner All Go and 9.4f winner Dea Giulia. Dam, 2m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Almeric. Betting can guide on debut.

Never threatened making belated debut at Kempton (1m) and looked unsuited by the track when fifth of 6 in a Bath maiden (1m) 2 weeks ago. Type who will be better suited by handicaps after this.

Smart and consistent filly who came in a good third in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee at Ascot and Sprint Cup at Haydock in 2025. Has run well off a break too and she's the form pick back in listed company.

A dual 6f listed/Group 3 scorer at Naas last summer. Only tenth in Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp final run but stumbled start there. May do better again in 2026 with relatively few miles still on the clock.

Smart filly who bagged the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f) in July. Not at her best in Nunthorpe there and Haydock Sprint Cup subsequently but this is far less demanding and she has won off a break too.

Ended 2025 on the up with 6f victories in Pontefract listed event and Group 3 Prix de Meautry at Deauville in August. More to find on her return but could be up to it.

Useful filly who posted a very good third in a Group 3 at York on her return last July. Ended a light 2025 with a below-par seventh over C&D in October but no surprise to see her bounce back with yard going very well.

Placed 4 times at listed level last season. Well backed when only twelfth of 14 to Azure in similar company at Bath (5f) on her return 27 days ago.

Useful filly who signed off for Mark Usher with a very good third of 12 to Beautiful Diamond in listed race at Ayr in September. Has plenty to find on form but could take a step forward for her new yard in 2026.

Useful filly who ended 2025 with solid efforts in listed races at Ascot (7f) and Doncaster (6f) in the autumn. This demands a lot more however.

Useful ex-French winner. Not seen to best effect for her new yard when sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 29 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. This is no easy ask though.
