Super Value
TrackLab Insight
The clear standout on ratings — ranked 3lbs clear of the next horse and carrying top weight — this is the one to beat after a win at Down Royal 28 days ago that the race editor described as having 'a fair bit up his sleeve'. The handicapper has raised him 7lbs for that win, but the market still made him favourite before his odds drifted sharply. Worth noting the jockey and trainer haven't worked together before, and neither has been in form over the last fortnight.

Best career win rate in field (1 in 6)
Market favourite (3.8)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Eight races into her career and yet to win or even finish in the top three — that is a blunt record for a 7-year-old who was last seen finishing a well-beaten sixth nearly six months ago. The jockey and trainer have worked together frequently and win roughly 1 in 9 of their races, which is at least some encouragement, but recent form offers nothing to build on.
Relatively inexperienced (8 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Annie Button has never raced on normal ground — every one of her eight career runs has come on different conditions — so today is a genuine unknown. She showed real promise when finishing a close second at Naas 67 days ago, beaten less than a length, but the follow-up was a well-beaten sixth and she has never won in eight attempts.
Never raced on normal ground
TrackLab Insight
Four races, zero wins, and a last run that ended in a pull-up nearly three months ago — Empire Walk arrives here with little to recommend it on paper. Crucially, this horse has never raced on normal ground conditions, so today represents a completely unknown test. Odds that drifted to 6.5 suggest some each-way interest from somewhere, but the absence of any wins or recent evidence makes it hard to know what to expect.
Never raced on normal ground
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
At 13, Halsafari is the oldest horse in the field and, more importantly, the only one who has actually won at Cork — one win from 8 races here gives him a course edge no rival can match. He has been in consistent if modest form recently, finishing fourth just three weeks ago, and with 34 career races under his belt he knows his way around a track. Wins roughly 1 in 34 races overall, so don't mortgage the house, but the course form is a genuine talking point.
Only course winner (1 from 8 here)
TrackLab Insight
Nine races without a win, and the most recent outing ended in a pull-up at Down Royal just 28 days ago — not the kind of prep run that screams confidence. There was a third-place finish at Limerick 40 days ago, which shows the horse can place on occasion, but zero wins from nine attempts is a hard record to look past in a field this competitive.
Among the fancied runners (15.0)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Seventeen races without a win and racing again just 8 days after her last run — Moonshine Girl is busy but has nothing in her form to suggest the hard work is about to pay off. She has placed three times in 17 races, which shows occasional competitiveness, but a 23/1 shot with this record in a 24-runner field is a leap of faith.
Winless from 17 career races
TrackLab Insight
Nine races and still waiting for a first win or place — Three County Star's best recent effort was a fifth at this very course 34 days ago, which at least shows some familiarity with the track. The form before that makes uncomfortable reading, with finishes of pulled up, 8th, 8th, and 19th, and there is nothing in the data to suggest a breakthrough is imminent.
Mid-range in the market (17.0)
TrackLab Insight
Two career wins from 31 races makes Navy Waves one of the more successful horses in this field on a win count, and a third-place finish just 20 days ago shows she is in reasonable nick heading into this. The worry is her record on normal ground — zero wins from 4 races on similar conditions — and she has never won on a right-handed galloping track, which Cork is.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
Nine races, zero wins, zero top-three finishes — Larkins Lane has never once made the places in her entire career. The jockey and trainer have a high-volume partnership with 39 wins from 479 races together, which is the most meaningful positive here, but the horse's own record gives very little to work with.
Mid-range in the market (21.0)
TrackLab Insight
Thirty-six career races without a single win — Toor Moon is the most winless experienced horse in this field, outlasting even Appian Way on that particular stat. A third-place finish at Downpatrick six weeks ago at least shows the horse can be competitive at times, but at 9 years old and with that blank win record, a turnaround now would be a major surprise.
Winless from 36 career races
TrackLab Insight
Three races, three poor results — finishes of 11th, 7th, and 13th — and this horse has never raced on normal ground conditions, so today is an unknown quantity in that regard. Returning from nearly six months off after that 11th-place finish at Cork last November, there is very little here to inspire confidence at 34/1.
Never raced on normal ground
Lightly raced (3 career races)
TrackLab Insight
Eleven races without a win and a pull-up last time out at Down Royal — Head For Home has been knocking on the door without reward, including a second place at Punchestown earlier this season. The jockey and trainer have a long-standing partnership with 28 wins from 356 races together, but there is nothing in the recent form to suggest the breakthrough is around the corner.
Winless from 11 career races
TrackLab Insight
The standout fact for Made In The Woods is that the horse has actually won at 3 miles before — 1 win from 3 races at this trip is the best record at the distance in this field. With 33 career races and just 1 win overall, the horse wins roughly 1 in 33, which is thin, but the trip is genuinely in its favour and recent runs at Clonmel and Navan show it is active and ticking over.
Best record at this trip (1 from 3)
TrackLab Insight
Six races, zero wins, and a last run that ended 108 lengths behind the winner — Orinoco Walk is the least experienced horse in the field and has nothing in her form to suggest a turnaround is coming. She has finished last or near last in each of her last two outings and is a 34/1 shot for good reason.
Relatively inexperienced (6 career races)
TrackLab Insight
At 10 years old and returning from a 311-day absence, Ranger Billy is very much on trust here — the last run was a distant 16th and the one before that a pull-up. The horse has won on normal ground conditions before (1 from 4), which is a small positive, but returning from nearly a year off into a 24-runner field is a stiff ask at 51/1.
Best record on this ground (1 from 4)
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
Eleven years old, 22 races, zero wins — Back The West is one of only two horses in this field rated 11lbs or more below the field average, and returns from a six-month break with nothing in recent form to suggest a first win is coming. The horse has placed just twice in 22 attempts, and at 34/1 the market reflects that record honestly.
Lowest rated, 11lbs below average
TrackLab Insight
Nine races, no wins, and returning from a 296-day break — Imperial Tune has barely been seen on a racecourse in the best part of a year. The jockey and trainer have ridden together 13 times without a win between them, and this horse has never raced on normal ground, making today a shot in the dark at 29/1.
Never raced on normal ground
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by a wide margin — 41 races compared to a field average of 15 — Appian Way has been around the block more than any rival here but wins just 1 in 20 races and has finished no better than ninth in six consecutive outings. Carrying the joint-lowest weight is a small advantage, but the recent form is deeply uninspiring and this is a hard race to win.
Carries lowest weight in field
Most experienced (41 runs, field avg 15)
TrackLab Insight
Three consecutive pull-ups — never completing the course in any of its last three races — makes Clever Court extremely difficult to recommend here. The 5-year-old is still lightly raced and has never placed in six attempts, and at 101/1 the market has made its feelings clear. Hard to find a reason to be interested.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
