Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Rated 12 pounds clear of his nearest rival and backed down to 1.4 by punters for good reason—the market knows this colt is the class act here. He's lightly raced at just six outings with one win, so there's room for improvement, and the 1m2f distance sits comfortably within his sweet spot (1m1f–1m2f), though his recent second at Sandown 43 days ago suggests he's still searching for that next victory.
Top rated by 12lbs
Market favourite (1.4)
TrackLab Insight
The only winner at this exact distance in the field and boasts the best record on good ground (2 wins from 5), which perfectly suits today's conditions—a genuine edge over most rivals here. His recent Ascot and Leopardstown runs were disappointing, but his Class 2 Goodwood win last summer proves he can mix it at this level when firing.
Only winner at this distance
Best record on this ground (2 from 5)
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field to have won at the Curragh, but his recent form reads poorly—5th then 2nd then 3rd in his last three races suggest he's struggling to find top gear. At 1m2f on normal ground, he's actually running well outside his sweet spot (he wins roughly 1 in 4 at shorter distances) and has never won on soft ground, so conditions need to stay on his side.
Only course winner (1 from 5 here)
Most experienced (13 runs, field avg 7)
Trainer Quotes
Apr 2025
"A Group 3 winner at Deauville last year over seven furlongs, he's going to make his reappearance in the Committed Stakes at Navan on Saturday. We're hoping he's en route to the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. We think six to seven furlongs is his trip and he's done very well over the winter and is training nicely. 24-04-25"
TrackLab Insight
A genuine wildcard returning from 328 days off the track—his longest absence by far in this field—which is a massive red flag for a horse trying to step back in at this level. That said, he boasts the best career win rate here at roughly 1 in 5, and his short-distance form (33% at 5f–6½f) is sharp, but asking him to deliver over 1m2f after nearly a year away is a tall order.
Absent 328 days (longest in field)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 5)
TrackLab Insight
Only two races into his career but already holds a 50% win rate—the kind of eye-catching record that would demand respect if the wins came at this level, except they don't. His sole victory came at Gowran Park 129 days ago, and his most recent outing was a beaten 4th at Roscommon, making him the least experienced and least reliable pick in a competitive field.

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.
