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.

Wednesday's Best Bet
Goldmoyne - 15:05 Lingfield
GOLDMOYNE lost his way for Timothy Doyle in Ireland, but he was well backed starting out for James Owen, and duly caught the eye over seven furlongs at Newcastle recently.
He went like the best horse at the weights returned to the all-weather on that occasion, but he did too much too soon, not settling and setting a strong gallop and picked up late in the day by a couple who were ridden more patiently.
Such tactics can be hard to pull off at Newcastle, but the sharper nature of Lingfield over this shorter trip should play to his strengths, and he’s fared well with the draw. With that run under his belt, he’s expected to prove himself well handicapped.
