WTW Willis Mares Maiden Hurdle

Outcome
LAY WON
Recommended lay
8.40
Winner
Shoda
Horse result
2nd of seven

What worked

Searcog moved into second after the last but made no impression on Shoda and could only keep on at one pace.

What to watch

Searcog was briefly short of room approaching the last and still finished second, making this the closer of the two settled lays.

Catalogue Engineering Nursery

Horse result
4th of six

What worked

Jazzy Bay was pushed along more than two furlongs out and soon made no impression, finishing fourth as Katie's Cavalier rallied to win.

What to watch

Jazzy Bay had raced close to the pace, but could not respond when the race developed.

Percys Star

ADS Handicap

Outcome
NON-RUNNER
Recommended lay
11.00
Winner
Ray Mon Dough
Horse result
late non-runner
Result note
Late non-runner.

What happened

Percys Star was a late non-runner, so the published pick did not settle.

What to watch

The race went ahead without Percys Star. The pick remains visible in the public record but does not count towards the strike rate.

Something Simple (IRE)

Join Us For Ladies Day Handicap Hurdle

Outcome
VOID
Recommended lay
10.50
Winner
Sneddy Eddie
Horse result
voided before the off; later pulled up
Result note
The lay price did not reach 11.0 or lower before the off or in-play.

What happened

Something Simple was voided before the off after a sharp drift, with the exchange price coming down only as far as 23 in-play. The horse later weakened and was pulled up inside the final furlong.

What to watch

The lay price did not reach 11.0 or lower before the off or in-play, so Something Simple remained a void and did not count towards the settled results.

What we learned / things to watch

Both settled selections were beaten: Searcog stayed on for second without threatening the winner, while Jazzy Bay made no impression once pressure increased.

The practical reminder is to keep race results and settlement separate. A late non-runner and a price-related void remain published, but neither counts towards the 100.0% strike rate.
