The market favourite at 3.25, but with just one race and a 58-day absence, the backing is purely about the pedigree and the trainer-jockey combination (P Twomey and W J Lee have 124 wins together). She has never raced on normal ground before and lacks the recent evidence to justify the price.

TrackLab Insight
The top-rated runner by 3lbs, trained by Aidan O'Brien (147 wins with this jockey), and was only a neck beaten here just 30 days ago. Despite five races without a win, she's the classiest horse in the field and carries the form to suggest she's close to breaking through.
Three races, zero wins, but two placed finishes—including a second at the Curragh—shows she's competitive without winning yet. The trainer-jockey combo has a strong record (24 wins from 126), and she's been keeping company at useful level; at 5.5 odds she has place prospects.
Two races, zero wins, but two places including a near-miss second at Limerick just 20 days ago by only 0.5 lengths. She's closing fast and the form line suggests she's knocking hard on the door—one of the likeliest improvers at a decent price of 7.5.

Running just two days after a seventh-place finish at this very course, suggesting either a desperate bid or a horse that hasn't found another suitable opportunity. She wins roughly one race in five, but the sharp turnaround and poor form on fast ground make this a tough ask.

The standout here: a 7-year-old with the best win rate in the field at one in four, and the only runner with a winning record on normal ground (1 from 3). Running again after just one day, she finished only 3.2 lengths second at this track yesterday and is the only mature horse that figures as a genuine contender.

TrackLab Insight
By far the most experienced runner at 25 races with three wins, but she's drawing 16 in a field where high numbers win just 4% of the time. She's placed in more than half her races and ran second here eleven days ago—form is solid, but draw and course bias are serious headwinds.
A 4-year-old with just two races and no wins yet, finishing fourth and fifth in those outings. The low draw (3) offers a marginal help, but form and experience both argue against backing her here.

TrackLab Insight
The only horse in this field with a confirmed course win (at Killarney 299 days ago), and she carries eight placed finishes from ten races. However, she has zero wins from seven starts on good or good-to-yielding ground, and today's normal conditions sit uncomfortably for her.
Two races, zero wins and zero places—a fifth and a sixth most recently. The 30-day layoff before that and poor recent form provide no evidence she's ready to break her duck here.
Absent for 286 days (the longest in the field), with just one race and an eighth-place finish, neither of which came on normal ground. The extended layoff and weak form make her one of the most speculative runners here despite the strong trainer record.
Never raced on normal groundLightly raced (1 career races)Absent 286 days (longest in field)
Returning from a five-month absence with zero wins and zero places from just two previous races, both more than nine months old. The long layoff and thin form book mean there's simply not enough to work with here.
Single race on record, a fifth-place finish at Killarney only 17 days ago. Drawing 17 is a significant handicap in a field where low numbers have won at 8%, and there's nowhere near enough evidence to support a tilt at this level.
A 4-year-old returning after nearly three months away, with four races on record and only one place finish—and crucially, she has never raced on normal ground before. The unfamiliar surface, combined with the long break and poor record in handicap and flat racing on other turf conditions, makes her a significant unknown.
Making her racecourse debut as a complete unknown, drawing the low-number 1 which offers an 8% historical advantage. Everything is a guess with a debut runner, but the low draw is the only statistical edge she carries.
Another racecourse debut with no prior form to assess. The trainer-jockey combination has only three wins from 53 races together, and there's nothing concrete to suggest this is the one to back among the first-timers.
Just one race on record, a well-beaten eighth at Limerick 20 days ago. There is virtually nothing to work with here except the bare fact that she finished in single figures.
One race, one eighth-place finish 58 days ago, drawing 19 in a field where high numbers win just 4% of the time. With no win or place and never on normal ground, there's almost nothing to build a case on.
Never raced on normal groundLightly raced (1 career races)
A 5-year-old mare with 21 races and zero wins—a stark record that is hard to ignore. While she has three straight top-3 finishes, the long form tells the story: she has never won and is unlikely to start now at this stage of her career.
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.
