TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the entire field — three wins from six races, exactly one in two — and crucially, three of those four victories have come on the normal ground conditions we have today. Add in Paul Townend, one of the sport's top jockeys and the form combination here for the last fortnight, and this is a serious rival to the favourite. The only caveat is seven months off, but the profile screams class.

Remarkable record — two wins and two thirds from four career races, meaning she has never once finished outside the top three. She arrives here in the best possible form, having won at Down Royal less than four weeks ago, and that combination of consistency and recency makes her a genuine threat. Alongside La Note Verte, she shares the best win rate in the field.
One of the busiest horses in the field with 30 career races, and form has tightened up recently with a second at Clonmel and a third at Kilbeggan in the last six weeks. The concern is that her four career wins have all come in conditions quite different to today — she has never won on normal ground in six attempts, and Killarney's right-handed galloping track has not suited her in the past.

TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the editorial tip, and it is easy to see why — this horse wins roughly two in every five races it enters, which is an outstanding record by any measure. Critically, she has won twice at Killarney, making her the most proven course winner in this field. The only real concern is nearly nine months off since her last run, but the editorial team specifically flags she can go well fresh.

"She's been brilliant. That was her fifth win in America the other day and she's only had 11 starts. That's some record. We're going to give her a little break now with a view to going novice chasing with her in the spring on some nice ground. 26-10-25"

Second at Kilbeggan two weeks ago shows she is in decent nick, and her record over longer trips is solid — she has won roughly one in five races at this kind of distance. However, she has never won on normal ground conditions despite ten attempts, which is a significant concern for today's race.

The longest absence in the field — nearly ten months off — is the big question mark here, but this horse won at Killarney on its last visit to this course, which is a genuine plus. With a record of one win and two places from just four races, it actually competes well when fit. The dramatic drift in the market from near-evens to 17s suggests confidence in the camp has drained away.

This horse has never raced on the normal ground conditions on offer today — every previous run has been on something different — so how she handles it is genuinely unknown. Three consecutive pulled-up finishes heading into this tells its own story, and with a rating of 113 she is technically the highest-rated runner here, though that mark looks hard to justify on recent evidence.

The most experienced runner in the field by a wide margin — 34 races compared to an average of 16 for her rivals — and also the top-rated horse on official figures, 15lbs clear of the field average. However, four consecutive fourth-place finishes followed by being brought down tells the story of a horse that finds a way not to win, and she has never won on the normal ground conditions we have today.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field with 21 career races, though that experience has produced only two wins — roughly one in every ten outings. Recent form is patchy at best, with an unseated rider and a pulled up among the last three runs before a fifth-place finish at Clonmel three and a half weeks ago. Hard to get excited about at 34s.

Among the oldest in the field at eight, and recent form offers little encouragement — fifth, eleventh, sixth across the last three outings. The standout positive is that she has actually won over this exact trip before, which is a rare commodity in this field, but at 41s the market clearly isn't convinced a revival is coming.

TrackLab Insight
Thirteen career races, zero wins — the only runner in this field without a single victory to her name. A pulled-up finish last time out and a rating 22lbs below the field average paint a clear picture of a horse at the wrong level. Very difficult to make a case for.
Making her racecourse debut today, so there is simply no form to go on — this is a complete unknown. At 81s the market has no faith, and stepping straight into a chase over two and a half miles on debut is an enormous ask by any standard. One to watch rather than back.
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.
