How We Stay Ahead — The Bet Smart & Win Edge

At Bet Smart & Win, our custom AI models don’t just pick horses — they break down each Bookmaker’s Overround to uncover the True Fair Market Value for every race.

Our ideal criteria will be an Overround of between 100% & 115%, Normalized Probability of 27% to 34%, Implied Probability above 20%, but below the Normalized Probability, 8 to 12 runners and a Value of Fair or Above Fair (we aim for AF). Our preferred Classes are 1, 3, 4, 5.

Nap of the Meeting

Overround: 111% Course: Chelmsford (AW) Polytrack Time: 8:15 Distance: 1m2f Runners: 8 Going: Standard to Slow Class: 5

#7 Majaz (Form: 4-22)

J: Jim Crowley T: Roger Varian Trainer RTF%: 70
NP: 34% IP: 32% AF

Proven 1m–1m2f level against a subsequent Listed winner; Varian/Crowley combo strong on AW; fair-to-above-fair value versus market; tactical versatility to sit handy and stretch late. Likely even pace enables a strong final 3f run. Back with confidence.

Paddy Power Apprentice Handicap (Class 6) (3yo+ 0-52)

Overround: 112% Course: Chelmsford (AW) Polytrack Time: 6:15 Distance: 5f Runners: 7 Going: Standard to Slow Class: 6

#1 Latin Five (Form: 394635)

J: Liam Wright(3) T: Paul Midgley Trainer RTF%: 57
NP: 29% IP: 25% AF

Down to a career-low mark and well drawn to attack; recent turf runs better than bare results and profile suggests he’s primed to capitalize back on Polytrack.

#2 Global Effort (Form: 346361)

J: Connor Planas T: Phil McEntee Trainer RTF%: 50
NP: 27% IP: 28% F

Last-time-out winner with a 5lb penalty; rail draw helps but compressed class ceiling means limited upside at current odds.

#3 Colors Of Freedom (Form: 407481)

J: Luke Catton T: Joe Ponting Trainer RTF%: 17
NP: 18% IP: 20% BF

In-and-out form; needs a sharp break and track bias to repeat last win, with lower trainer RTF a caution flag.

Pick No Bet — Field <8 for E/W; top two are borderline value and do not decisively clear thresholds.

The third selection is a Next Best (NB) Pick. If there is a non-runner from the top two or you want a third pick for a Placepot.

Paddy Power Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Class 5) (2yo)

Overround: 111% Course: Chelmsford (AW) Polytrack Time: 6:45 Distance: 6f Runners: 8 Going: Standard to Slow Class: 5

#1 Dartrey (Form: —)

J: Edward Greatrex T: Ralph Beckett Trainer RTF%: 58
NP: 33% IP: 36% F

750,000€ yearling with strong page and Dewhurst entry; yard excels with smart debutants and draw workable for a prominent run.

#2 American Flight (Form: —)

J: Pat Cosgrave T: George Boughey Trainer RTF%: 38
NP: 24% IP: 21% AF

Boughey targets this track effectively; market second pick with solid breeze vibes and scope on surface.

#3 Riffa Spirit (Form: —)

J: Harry Davies T: Simon & Ed Crisford Trainer RTF%: 77
NP: 19% IP: 17% F

Crisford juveniles reliable on the AW; professional profile points to hitting the frame if breaking cleanly.

Pick No Bet — Debutant-heavy novice with short fav keeps value tight; prefer market watch and late play if Dartrey eases.

The third selection is a Next Best (NB) Pick. If there is a non-runner from the top two or you want a third pick for a Placepot.

Paddy Power Handicap (Class 5) (3yo 0-75)

Overround: 112% Course: Chelmsford (AW) Polytrack Time: 7:15 Distance: 6f Runners: 9 Going: Standard to Slow Class: 5

#1 Queue Dos (Form: 372133)

J: Taylor Fisher(3) T: J S Moore Trainer RTF%: 29
NP: 31% IP: 25% AF

Rock-solid AW record and consistent sectionals; class/mark balance ideal and draw fine to stalk and pounce.

#2 Style King (Form: 200836)

J: Frederick Larson T: Chris Dwyer Trainer RTF%: 67
NP: 21% IP: 17% AF

Course-suited and handicapped to strike; late kick can be potent if pace is honest.

#3 Currahee (Form: 0-5717)

J: Luke Morris T: Stuart Williams Trainer RTF%: 52
NP: 18% IP: 14% AF

Recent win shows progress; needs rhythm from inside draw but retains upside at 6f.

Pick Queue Dos — Win. Meets >25% probability threshold with a solid NP–IP edge; consistent AW sectionals suggest strong SecEff; projected odds ≥ 2/1.

The third selection is a Next Best (NB) Pick. If there is a non-runner from the top two or you want a third pick for a Placepot.

Paddy Power Handicap (Class 4) (3yo+ 0-85)

Overround: 113% Course: Chelmsford (AW) Polytrack Time: 7:45 Distance: 1m Runners: 11 Going: Standard to Slow Class: 4

#1 Crack Shot (Form: 7-3054)

J: Jamie Spencer T: James Owen Trainer RTF%: 1
NP: 28% IP: 22% AF

Big run in the Carlisle Bell and switches to an astute yard; Spencer’s patient ride style fits this track shape.

#2 Signcastle City (Form: 322650)

J: Joe Leavy T: Richard Hannon Trainer RTF%: 47
NP: 22% IP: 17% AF

Consistent in better company and well treated; tactical speed to hold position and finish strongly.

#3 Bright Times Ahead (Form: 1-05)

J: Edward Greatrex T: Ralph Beckett Trainer RTF%: 58
NP: 19% IP: 22% BF

Untapped potential but short enough on the numbers; needs a clear step forward against hardened older handicappers.

Pick Crack Shot — E/W. Sits in the 15–25% band with earlier ≥5/1 quotes; field size 11; value fair to AF for a patient late run.

The third selection is a Next Best (NB) Pick. If there is a non-runner from the top two or you want a third pick for a Placepot.

#1 Majaz (Form: 4-22)

J: Jim Crowley T: Roger Varian Trainer RTF%: 70
NP: 34% IP: 32% AF

Sets the standard on Newbury second to subsequent Listed winner; extra trip looks ideal to convert near-misses.

#2 Lady Ridgewood (Form: 42-23)

J: Jamie Spencer T: Peter Chapple-Hyam Trainer RTF%: 25
NP: 23% IP: 20% AF

Reliable level with scope up in trip; should get a patient ride to challenge late.

#3 Glistening (Form: 322-8)

J: Robert Havlin T: John & Thady Gosden Trainer RTF%: 53
NP: 18% IP: 23% BF

Solid back-form but short enough after a quiet return; may concede race fitness to the top pair.

Pick Majaz — Win. Clears probability and value thresholds with a suitable trip and likely prominent ride.

The third selection is a Next Best (NB) Pick. If there is a non-runner from the top two or you want a third pick for a Placepot.

J: Pat Cosgrave T: Stuart Williams Trainer RTF%: 52

C&D winner with a forgive run last time; returns to optimal setup and retains finishing kick.
