The Racing Alpha rating combines four signals. Below is the breakdown — components driving this pick first.
v1.3 rating · weights and method explained on /about. Tips are opinions, not advice.
Shape: 5 confirmed front-runners — expect a pace duel; closers from the rear advantaged.
Bucketed from the opening clause of each past run's comment. Front-runner / prominent / mid / hold-up — the classic race-shape framework. Unknown = no usable comments parsed.
Moderate: high (outside) favoured (IV 1.09).
Today: Tattie Bogle (draw 10) and Bell Shot (draw 9) get the bias; Homestrait (draw 6) is in the least-favoured band.
IV = impact value: 1.00 is neutral, above it a stall band wins more often than its share of runners predicts. 95 qualifying races at this course and trip, 3-year window.
OR = official rating · AI = model score (0–100) · form reads oldest → latest · Fair= the market's own consensus: median price across 29 bookmakers per horse with the 38% overround stripped out. A green best price pays above that consensus — a price check, not a tip: the market can be wrong about a horse, this only tells you when a book stands out from it.
The Jill Willows Handicap Stakes is off at 15:45 on 12 August 2026 at Beverley (Great Britain).
7½f, Class 4, Flat, 11 runners declared.
Going is reported as Good To Firm on Turf.
The AI top-rated runner is Homestrait (score 53.9, best price 16.00). Methodology: ratings combine OR, RPR, TS, trainer 14-day form, days since last run and going.
The market favourite is Alpha Capture at a best price of 4.00. The Racing Alpha AI top pick is a different horse — Homestrait.
Alpha Capture rates level with Obelix at the head of the field on these figures, yet the nod goes to our selection on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come over this eight-furlong trip at Beverley on good-to-firm ground. Obelix and Bell Shot are the chief dangers, with Glenfinnan worth keeping onside. **Alpha Capture** is the call.
