TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 4.5 and the only horse in the field with a recent win, taking Limerick just 74 days ago—that freshness counts. Boasts the best record at this trip (1 from 4 races) and has won at similar distances, but poor form on yielding and heavy ground raises questions on normal conditions.
Best record at this trip (1 from 4)Market favourite (4.5)
Second in the market at 7.2 despite zero wins from 17 races, suggesting bettors like his recent Cork run (fourth, beaten just 6.5L, 24 days ago). That narrow defeat here does make him relevant, but 17 races without a victory is a long drought to overlook.

TrackLab Insight
Placed in two of the last three races, including a strong third at Limerick beaten only 1.8L, showing competitive form at the right standard. Still winless from 11 attempts, but the recent improvement suggests this six-year-old is closer to breaking through than the blank record suggests.
Sixteen races, zero wins, and three placed finishes—the pattern here is clear: competitive enough to pick up placings but never good enough to win. Fourth at Kilbeggan 24 days ago shows some recent effort, but this five-year-old remains searching for that first victory after almost two years of trying.
Placed in two of the last three races, including a second at this very course 24 days ago, so form is genuine and recent. Still winless from 11 career attempts, but the momentum here is real—this five-year-old is closer to breaking through than most in the field.
Two career wins puts her among the most successful here, but both victories came at Dundalk where she has a 15% win rate on standard ground—at Cork she remains 0 from 5 and struggles on right-handed tracks. The recent 11th at Tramore and long gap since her Dundalk win (173 days) are concerning form signals.

One win from 41 races is a brutal 2% win rate, though that sole victory came at Thurles in March 2025 on good-to-yielding ground. On normal ground at Cork (0 wins from 6 attempts) and with 11 days since last run, she lacks the form and track record to inspire confidence here.
One of the more successful in the field (1 career wins)
Seven races across nearly two years with zero wins and only one place; recent finishes of 10th, 10th, and 17th show deteriorating form rather than improvement. Never raced on normal ground before, adding another layer of uncertainty to a horse that has already struggled to make an impression.

TrackLab Insight
Nineteen races without a win and three placed finishes across them—this five-year-old has had every chance to succeed without managing it. Recent form showing 13th at Killarney 19 days ago suggests he's operating at the lower end of what this field needs.
Seven career races with zero wins and recent form showing fifth as the best result—this five-year-old keeps knocking without getting through. The editorial verdict flags her as lacking fitness compared to Eaglewood, a significant disadvantage in a competitive field where freshness matters.
Rated just two pounds below Eaglewood by the editorial verdict and credible enough to enter calculations, but zero wins from 16 races tells the real story. Recent form of 9th and 13th at Sligo shows he's been running regularly without threatening, so that proximity in the weights doesn't reflect true form.

TrackLab Insight
Lowest-rated horse in the field and carrying the lightest weight, but his one win came on good ground at Tramore—normal ground has yielded nothing from 22 starts. At 45 career races (double the field average), this eight-year-old is battle-hardened but worn down, with poor recent form including an 11th just 10 days ago.

TrackLab Insight
Seventeen races without a win, though four placed finishes show the horse can at least get into the mix occasionally. Never raced on normal ground, and with 105 days since last action, the fitness edge that the editorial verdict mentions is likely working against this one.

Five races, zero wins, zero places—Two Can Plan has given backers nothing to work with so far. Never raced on normal ground before, so this surface is entirely unknown territory for a horse that needs serious improvement just to be competitive in this field.

TrackLab Insight
Just three career races makes this four-year-old the least experienced runner here, with only one placed finish to show. The sixth-place finish at Cork 24 days ago is his best result yet, so minimal data to work with on whether he belongs at this level.

Absent for 207 days—the longest absence in the entire field—and that layoff is a red flag even for a horse with eight races under its belt. Zero wins and one place from those eight attempts, making this a difficult proposition to back after such a gap.
Just five races under her belt with zero wins and no places, finishing 10th most recently—relatively inexperienced but not showing enough to suggest improvement is coming. Recent form over Punchestown and Down Royal (where she finished 9th and 17th) suggests she's outmatched at this level.
Best win rate in the field at 10% (1 from 10 races) and the editorial selection on the back of a fitness edge over rivals Pirate Island and Midnight Musical. Rated 10 pounds above the field average and the recent run at Cork (24 days ago) keeps her sharp, making her the most convincing case in a competitive handicap.
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.
