TrackLab Insight
The nap of the race and the market favourite, she boasts the best career win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in every 4 races — and she's ridden by Paul Townend for trainer Willie Mullins, the most potent jockey-trainer combination in Irish racing. She won last time out at Cork 34 days ago and is on an upward curve as a young five-year-old, which is exactly what you want to see. The only real concern is a 4lb gap between her official rating and top-rated Break My Soul, but the editorial verdict backs her to bridge it.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2025
"We'll take our time with her this season, as I like to do with four-year-olds just out of their juvenile campaign. She looked very smart when she won at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and we'll try to get her back to that sort of form. She's rated 127 so handicaps might be the way forward when she returns. 17-11-25"

TrackLab Insight
One of the few horses in this field who has actually won at Killarney before — course experience at a track with its own quirks is a genuine advantage. She's also in red-hot form, winning at Clonmel just 25 days ago, making her one of two last-time-out winners in this race alongside the favourite. Rated 129 — the second highest in the field — she's a clear danger to the market leader and represents strong each-way value at 3.75/1.

TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by 4lbs, which is a meaningful edge in a race like this — she carries a higher official rating than any of her rivals. She ran at Cheltenham just two months ago and finished a close third, beaten less than a length, which is a solid piece of evidence that she can compete at a decent level. The odds have drifted from 3/1 to 4/1 though, which suggests the market isn't fully convinced, and her record on normal ground is just one win from three attempts.

Trainer Quotes
Oct 2024
"We got her after winning a point-to-point but things did not go according to plan last season at first. However, we resolved a few issues and she finished with two extremely easy victories at Chepstow and Fontwell. She's had a good summer at grass and we'll now resume over hurdles. Good ground is important to her. 22-10-24"

Freshness Form

Fresh (95 days off) Won 1 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
The most lightly raced horse in the field with just two races under her belt, which cuts both ways — she's largely an unknown quantity, but she did win her second career race at Fairyhouse 95 days ago, showing she learns fast. Crucially, she has never raced on normal ground before, so today's conditions are completely uncharted territory for her. At 10/1, there's intrigue here, but backers are essentially betting on potential rather than proven form.

Fresh (140 days off) Won 2 of last 5 Raced here before Loves this ground (67% win rate)
TrackLab Insight
She has the best record on today's normal ground of anyone in the field — two wins from just three attempts, which is a 67% hit rate on this type of surface. The catch is that she hasn't raced in 140 days, the longest absence of any horse here, and her last run was a distant seventh at Thurles. Those ground figures are eye-catching, but returning from a long break against horses in sharper form is a real challenge.

TrackLab Insight
The most interesting angle here is her record at this exact trip — she's won 3 from 7 races at 2m 1f, which is the best win rate over this distance in the field. The problem is her current form: she finished eighth in her last two completed runs, beaten a long way on both occasions. That distance profile is worth noting, but there's a lot of ground to make up on recent evidence.

Stepping up in class Wearing cheekpieces Won 0 of last 5 Won here 1 time Loves this ground (29% win rate)
TrackLab Insight
The notable angle here is that she drops three class levels compared to where she normally runs, which means this race is considerably easier than her usual competition — and she almost won last time out, finishing third beaten in a photo at Tramore just 19 days ago. She has won 4 from 14 on normal ground, the best numerical record on this surface in the field. The class drop and that near-miss form make her worth serious consideration at 19/1.

TrackLab Insight
By far the most experienced horse in this field with 49 races to her name — the average runner here has run roughly 23 times, so she has nearly lapped the field in terms of experience. The problem is that experience hasn't translated into wins, with just 4 victories from those 49 races, and she finished sixth on her most recent outing 17 days ago. She's also the lowest-rated horse in the field alongside Katherine, which makes winning from here a significant mountain to climb.

TrackLab Insight
At 41/1, the market has made its verdict clear, and the recent form backs that up — a 17th place finish at Leopardstown and a question mark over her last run don't inspire confidence. She has won 3 from 17 races across her career, but those wins have all come on fast, dry ground, and she has never won on anything softer. With normal conditions here and far better-rated rivals in the field, this is a tough ask.

Quick turnaround Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before Has won on this ground
TrackLab Insight
The standout fact here is stark: she ran just yesterday and lines up again today, which is an extremely rare turnaround and raises obvious questions about her well-being and freshness. At 81/1, the market isn't taking her seriously, and her official rating of 100 is the lowest in the field alongside Bynx — 20lbs below the field average. With 44 races on the clock and three wins to show for it, she is very much in survival mode rather than winning mode.

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.
