Model's most likely HEADMASTER 12% model chance · market 8%
No standout value here — the model and market broadly agree on the prices.
Why the model rates HEADMASTER top (12% chance)

Open to plenty more improvement and fresh after running 35 days ago, with an earlier win and second showing real ability; a poor effort two runs back and Edward Lynam's yard at 6% in the last two months are the caveats.

  • ✓ Young improver with scope
  • ✓ Ideally fresh - 35 days since its last run
  • ✕ Edward Lynam's yard quiet lately, 6% in the last two months
  • ✕ Little to like about its run two runs back

Every runner gets this breakdown - reasons for and against, straight from the model's workings.

How to read this: "Model Chance" is our calibrated win probability for each horse. "Market Implies" is the chance suggested by the live price. When the model's number is meaningfully higher than the market's, we flag it as value — the price may be bigger than the horse's true chance warrants. Full explanation of how it works →
