Find out which runners on Wednesday caught the eye of the Timeform reporters last time and were awarded the Horse In Focus Flag.

What is a Horse In Focus?

Every performance in Britain and Ireland is closely scrutinised by the expert race readers at Timeform whose tasks include identifying horses that shaped better than the result.

Some of these eye-catchers will be awarded the Horse In Focus Flag.A Horse In Focus comes in many forms, from a promising maiden winner to a veteran handicapper, but the common denominator is the same: the way the horse shaped suggests it’s likely to be something to back next time.

All of the day's Horses In Focus can be found within this article, which also includes a best bet selected by a member of the Timeform Sporting Life team.

The Timeform Flags also appear on the Racecards + section, available for Sporting Life Plus members, on Sporting Life racecards.

Plenty arrive with claims including THE GOOD BISCUIT, who channelled his energy more efficiently when capitalising on a mark that has gradually eased this season over C&D 3 weeks ago.

Ruth Carr's four-year-old remains well treated from a 4 lb higher mark and could well be capable of following up again partnered by Warren Fentiman who remains very good value for his 5 lb claim.

The likes of Sir Garfield, Bay Breeze, Havana Prince and Smart Vision should ensure that there is a true pace and that should suit the selection who is fancied to secure career win number four.
