The market favourite at 1.93, making his debut under W P Mullins—one of Ireland's elite trainers with a 211-win record from 630 races with this jockey. By Camelot out of a Shirocco mare, but despite the pedigree and trainer pedigree, he remains untested on the track like most of this field.
One of only two horses with a placed finish on their sole outing, running second at Punchestown 51 days ago beaten just 2.8 lengths. Trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien in his first pairing with this jockey, and the respectable debut form suggests he belongs at this level.
One of only two horses to have earned a place finish on debut, running second at Punchestown just a day ago beaten only 3 lengths—that's an encouraging start. Trained by J S Bolger, one of Ireland's most respected horsemen, and never raced on slightly soft ground before, so this underfoot condition presents an unknown.

Racecourse debut at four years old—very late for a first appearance—under Gordon Elliott, who wins at a healthy 62 wins from 331 races with this combination. By Nathaniel out of a Motivator mare, so the breeding suggests ability, but this is genuinely a blank canvas with no prior form.
Racecourse debut for a four-year-old by Poet's Word out of a Doyen mare—decent breeding but still an unknown quantity. Makes his first appearance partnered with Andrew Slattery's jockey combination, which has a strong record with 21 wins from 122 races.

Racecourse debut for a four-year-old with respectable pedigree by Court Cave, trained by Noel Meade. No prior form to assess, leaving this as pure potential—one of nine debutants in a field that offers very little in the way of proven ability.
One of the most experienced horses here with a race under his belt, but it was a heavy defeat at Leopardstown three months ago, finishing 12th. Back after a 210-day absence—the longest layoff in the field—which suggests Conor Houlihan is trying a fresh approach with a horse that clearly needs to improve.

Making his racecourse debut for Peter Fahey, whose yard has already sent out 14 winners this season. By Hillstar out of a Multiplex mare with no form to judge, but Fahey's recent record suggests he knows how to ready a horse for its first outing.
The only rated runner in this field, officially on a rating of 82, which makes him the form pick by default in a race light on established profiles. One race to his credit finishing sixth at Killarney just 11 days ago, and like Teofil, he's never tackled slightly soft ground—but his official rating gives him a measurable edge over debutants and one-race wonders.

Racecourse debut for a four-year-old filly trained by Eoin Griffin, whose yard has already sent out 8 winners this season. By Getaway out of an Oscar mare—both sires known for passing on solid racing ability—but like the majority of this field, she remains an untested quantity.
One race under its belt and finished fourth at Killarney just yesterday, beaten 31 lengths—a significant gap that suggests the horse has considerable improvement needed. Ciaran Murphy's yard knows how to win races, but this one hasn't shown much yet.
One race in the book and finished seventh at Killarney, beaten 41.5 lengths—a tough introduction that tells us very little about his potential. Raced just yesterday and remains active, but Paul John Gilligan's yard has no wins from 26 races, which is a concerning statistic for a stable struggling to land winners.
Four-year-old filly making her racecourse debut—notably late for a first appearance, suggesting Kieran Callaghan has taken a patient approach to her training. By Circus Maximus out of a Singspiel mare, with no prior form and a new jockey combination, this is pure potential.
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.
