TrackLab Insight
Minnie Hauk is the standout of this field by almost every measure: top-rated by a full 10 points over her nearest rival, she has won five of her six races including the Oaks at Epsom and a Class 1 at York — two of the most prestigious prizes in the sport. The only question is whether eight months off the track will blunt her edge at this trip, and the editorial verdict flags that today's distance of 1m 2f may not be her absolute best. Even with those caveats, she is in a different class to most of her rivals here.

Trainer Quotes
Mar 2026
"She had a fantastic season last year, winning the Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks before her second in the Arc, which was a great run. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight we should have finished up with her after that and left her alone, because she was only a three-year-old filly. There's no doubt she's stronger this year - she's twice as wide and we couldn't have been happier with her at the Curragh on Sunday morning, she came up in front. She seems in great form. She'll probably be trained for the Tattersalls Gold Cup and could go to the Mooresbridge on the way. Then she might go to Ascot for the Prince of Wales's Stakes as we think she might be the one of ours best suited to it. She could then go back up to a mile and a half and could definitely end up in the Arc again, but it's going to depend on how the three-year-olds fare as well. 31-03-26"
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Beset is the most experienced horse in the field with 15 races under her belt — well above the field average of 8 — and she arrives in decent form, winning at Naas and then finishing second at this track just 15 days ago. Crucially, she is dropping down two class levels from where she normally competes, which gives her a meaningful advantage on paper. Wins roughly 1 in 4 races and has clearly found some form at the right time.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2026
"She kicked off this season where she left off last term when winning the [Listed] Devoy Stakes on her seasonal debut at Naas and I thought she ran great when second in the Alleged Stakes last weekend. She ran right up to form, so I was very happy. 22-04-26"
TrackLab Insight
Shaool holds a critical advantage that no other horse in this field can claim: she is the only runner here who has already won over this exact course and distance at the Curragh. That course-and-distance form counts for a lot, and she arrives having won twice in her last four races before a below-par run at Naas 43 days ago. If Minnie Hauk is vulnerable after a long absence, Shaool is the most obvious one to capitalise.

Trainer Quotes
Mar 2026
"He had a brilliant three-year-old season, winning the Derby and Irish Derby. We're very happy with him and we're going to train him for the Coronation Cup. The plan is to have a run before it, potentially in the Mooresbridge [May 4, Curragh]. 31-03-26"
TrackLab Insight
The elephant in the room here is time: Adelaide River has not set foot on a racecourse for nearly 968 days — by far the longest absence in this field. That is a remarkable gap, and while this horse did win last time out at Leopardstown and once finished second at this very track, three years away from racing is a huge ask at this level. An intriguing comeback story, but punters should know they are taking a leap of faith.
Absent 968 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Tiberius Thunder heads into this race as one of the bigger outsiders at 34.0, and recent form gives little reason for optimism — beaten over 50 lengths at Naas last time out. The one career win came at a much lower level, and this Group 2 against strong rivals looks a significant step up. Limited data makes it hard to build a compelling case.
Outsider at 34.0
TrackLab Insight
Edward Hamilton is the lowest-rated horse in the field by a significant margin — rated 19 points below the field average — and was beaten over 20 lengths at this same track just 15 days ago. The one win on his record came on an artificial surface at Dundalk, and he has never raced on normal ground like today, which adds another layer of uncertainty. Hard to make a case for him at this level.

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.
