13:39 Keogh & Hows Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Class 42m 6f 7y7 runnersGD

Our read on Katarcice: The model makes Katarcice the strongest chance in the race: a drop in class is in its favour, it comes here fresh and in good time off its last run and the jockey has a good record at this track. It edges the field by 35 points on our numbers. It backs that up with form that reads well right now. Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 20 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (15/8).

Our read on Depalma: The model makes Depalma the strongest chance in the race: the jockey is riding a lot of winners, a drop in class is in its favour and its recent form reads well. It edges the field by 20 points on our numbers. The main caveat: it is a touch below the better-rated horses on paper. Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 16 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (4/1).

Our read on Ride Like A Girl: The model makes Ride Like A Girl the strongest chance in the race: the jockey has a good record at this track, it is a strong fit for today's conditions and it has a solid career strike rate.

Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 20 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (7/2).

Our read on Seraphic: Nothing really stands out in this race. The best our numbers can offer is Seraphic (the jockey is riding a lot of winners, the jockey has a good record at this track and a drop in class is in its favour), but we rate it only a modest chance. The main caveat: there is a question over its recent absence. Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 12 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (17/2).
