Fresh off a first-career win at Kilbeggan just 28 days ago — perfect timing for a repeat in familiar territory. The five-year-old has a 20% win rate on good ground (1 from 5) and today's normal conditions should suit, making her a live contender despite limited experience at just 8 career races.

Market favourite at 7.5 and rated six pounds clear of rivals by the editorial verdict, but his form is patchy and his record on good ground is actually poor (zero wins from 3 starts). He excels on good-to-yielding and yielding ground (3 wins from 11 combined), and the editorial confidence is measured — he'll need a clear passage in this 19-runner melee.
Winless from 6 attempts but has placed three times in a row over her last four races (3-3-3-8), showing real consistency and narrowing margins — she was beaten just 2.5 lengths last time at Galway. At five years old and still searching for that breakthrough, she's clearly learning and improving with racing.

One win in 14 races tells the story, but she ran second just 18 days ago at Cork, beaten only 8 lengths — that's her most recent form and worth noting. Priced at 9.5 with some market backing, she has a consistent 11% record on good ground (1 from 9), which suits today, though she hasn't raced for 42 days prior to her last run.

Just broke his duck this week at Downpatrick after 15 failed attempts — perfect timing for another run in hot form. The six-year-old has a 10% record on good ground (1 from 10), and today's normal conditions are unknown, but his recent upward trajectory and short 12-day turnaround could catch rivals cold.

TrackLab Insight
The only runner here with a proven win at this exact track and distance, which is valuable in a field this large, but she's won just once in 12 races and hasn't found the winner's circle in over a year. She excels on yielding ground (1 win from 4 attempts) but today's normal conditions are precisely where she struggles most — zero wins from 3 starts.
Winless from 8 attempts but has placed four times and been knocking on the door relentlessly — two second-place finishes, two more second-place runs before that. At just six years old with only 8 races, he remains relatively inexperienced, but has had 50 days off and needs to prove he's still sharp.

One of the few course winners here (1 win at Kilbeggan) and ran second at the same track just 13 days ago, beaten by a mere 0.3 lengths — he's in sharp form. At seven years old with 30 races behind him, he has a 25% record on good-to-yielding ground (1 from 4), though only one career win overall makes him a longshot despite the recent encouragement.
Winless from 9 attempts but has placed twice, with a narrow second-place finish at Limerick 152 days ago as the highlight of her career so far. She's shown nothing to suggest she can win from there, and has had a 36-day lay-off, making this a tough ask for a five-year-old still hunting her breakthrough.

Most experienced here with 24 career races but only one win, and that victory is now 11 months old — she's chasing it ever since. She does have a long-distance pedigree (11% win rate over 2m+) and finished second at Ballinrobe 31 days ago, but struggles on anything softer than good ground and has never won at left-handed galloping tracks.

TrackLab Insight
Lightly raced with just 3 career outings and zero wins or places; he hasn't raced on normal ground before, only heavy and worse, so today is a step into the unknown. His longest absence is 98 days, and he finished 5th here at Kilbeggan on his last normal-ground attempt — clearly a horse still very much learning his trade.

Best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 6, but odds of 34.0 suggest the market has written her off despite a solid 110 rating. Recent form is poor (7th, 10th, 5th), and crucially she has never won over left-handed galloping tracks like Kilbeggan — zero wins from 7 attempts at such courses.

Finally broke her duck at Cork in May after nine attempts, but has since pulled up twice in a row and hasn't raced in 42 days — a concerning absence. The one win came on good ground, yet she has zero wins on yielding ground, which makes today's normal surface a coin flip.
Winless from 7 attempts but has placed four times, with two second-place finishes showing he can get close. At just six years old and relatively inexperienced, he ran third at Cork only 18 days ago and remains a prospect, though he has yet to land a race.
One of the few course winners here (1 win at Kilbeggan), with an excellent 67% record on good-to-yielding ground (2 from 3), and today's normal conditions should suit his profile well. He raced just 11 days ago and has decent form over the distance, but is partnered with Eoin Walsh for the first time and hasn't raced at Kilbeggan in 82 days.

Only one win from 16 races across a six-year career, and his recent record is erratic — 13th last time after a 3rd place at Roscommon. He does have a strong 33% win rate on yielding ground (1 from 3), but today's normal conditions are where he struggles most with zero wins from 6 attempts.
Winless and placed-less from 6 attempts, with his last run just 8 days ago finishing sixth at Tramore. He's relatively inexperienced and has never shown any form to suggest he belongs in a race of this calibre — a very marginal prospect at best.

By far the most experienced horse here with 53 races and 7 wins (13% win rate), but hasn't won in a full year and is trending downwards (11th last time after 4th and 3rd). She does excel on standard ground (22% record, 2 from 9), and that's today's conditions, but at seven years old and off the boil, she's past her best.

Lowest rated in the field (10 pounds below average) and has managed only one win from 33 races across a career stretching back 26 months — she's a 10th last time out. At eight years old carrying the least weight, she lacks any obvious angle here and remains a forlorn hope despite her rating advantage.

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.
