Killarney

Two wins from four career races is a solid record, and he ran a fine second at Dundalk just 88 days ago, beaten by only half a length — so he arrives here in reasonable form. Unusually, his trainer also rides him today, which is rare at this level and worth noting. He carries the joint-lowest weight in the field alongside Farren Glory, which could be an advantage over this distance.

The top-rated horse in this field by 5lbs, and crucially the only runner here who has already won at Killarney — making this track feel familiar rather than unknown. That makes the dramatic drift in the betting (from near-certainty to 5/1) all the more striking, and his last run was a 16th-place finish at Cork, which is hard to ignore. He carries a visor today and clearly has questions to answer, but the course form sets him apart from every other rival.

Arrives here on the back of a win at Bellewstown 31 days ago and has never finished outside the top five in four career races, winning half of them — a record that stands up well against most rivals in this field. The concern is that he has never raced on slightly soft ground, so today's conditions are an unknown. His trainer has had two winners from 13 runners in the last fortnight, suggesting the yard is in decent shape.

Only two career races to her name and returning from a break of roughly eight months, which makes her one of the harder horses in this field to assess with confidence. She has previously run at Killarney, finishing third, so the course is not completely new to her. Carrying the lightest weight in the field could help, but the lack of experience and the long absence make her a risk.
