TrackLab Insight
The standout talent here: three straight top-3 finishes and the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 5 races. Crucially, she won at this track 34 days ago and suits the distance perfectly (40% win rate between 1m6f and 2m), though the 51-day gap since her Wexford second means she'll need to shake off ring rust on a fresh start.
3 straight top-3 finishes
Best career win rate in field (1 in 5)
Market favourite (4.5)
TrackLab Insight
A raw 6-year-old with only 8 career races and just one win (14 months old), but showing consistent promise with placings in 2 of his last 3 outings. The jockey-trainer combo (De Bromhead & O'Keeffe) carries serious pedigree with 133 wins together, suggesting there's genuinely knowledgeable backing here despite the modest record.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
Carries the lowest weight in the field and boasts an excellent 50% record on good ground (2 wins from 4), with a hot recent run—he won at Wexford just 12 days ago then ran 3rd there on the bounce. At 18% career win rate, he's one of the most consistent, and the fresh legs combined with proven form at these conditions make him a genuine threat.
Carries lowest weight in field
Best record on this ground (2 from 5)
TrackLab Insight
The youngest (5 years old) and lowest-rated horse in the field, with only a single career win since November 2025—he's been unable to repeat that promise in six subsequent races. Recent placings at Roscommon and Killarney suggest some aptitude, but this is thin form for a handicap chase at this level, and the modest 8% win rate offers little encouragement.
Lowest rated, 9lbs below average
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
An honest campaigner at 7 years old with a 20% win rate on good ground (2 from 10), and the editorial verdict backs him as the horse most likely to press War Correspondent hard. His last outing (5th at Bellewstown, beaten just 3.5L, 47 days ago) shows he's capable on the day, though he's been away for nearly seven weeks.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2024
"He's a grand horse who won his maiden hurdle at Clonmel last week and the front two pulled 17 lengths clear. He's qualified for the auction final at Punchestown and I suppose a rated novice could be next. 13-11-24"
Nov 2024
"He had more letters than numbers in his point-to-point form but he's a grand horse. He won at Ballingarry in May and then made a winning start for us in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last week when the front two pulled 17 lengths clear. I'm not sure where we go from here but he's qualified for the auction final at Punchestown. I suppose a rated novice could be next for him. 12-11-24"
TrackLab Insight
One of the more successful in the field with 3 career wins and a solid 16% win rate, including a win at Tramore 123 days ago. Recent form shows a 2nd at Wexford (105 days back) but the Galway race 23 days ago has an unknown result, making it hard to assess where he stands in current form.
One of the more successful in the field (3 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
Drifted dramatically in the market despite carrying a +9 weight advantage over the field average, suggesting bookmakers have doubts. A course specialist at Wexford (3 wins from 4) and Limerick (4 wins from 12), but a poor recent effort at Cork 17 days ago leaves questions about current form—this is a horse that needs to find its feet again on familiar turf.
Unfancied in the market despite a high rating
TrackLab Insight
The only horse in the field with a proven win at this exact distance (1 from 3 races), making her a genuine specialist over 2m 1f. However, recent form is patchy—a 4th at Wexford 29 days ago is her only positive effort in the last three runs, and she's struggled badly on sharp tracks (0 wins from 8).
Only winner at this distance
Best record at this trip (1 from 3)
TrackLab Insight
The editorial selection but heavily questioned by the market at 26.0 odds—his most recent form is genuinely worrying (9th at Galway 18 days ago). Most experienced in the field (49 races), but wins only 1 in 17 attempts, and his record on good ground stands at just 11% despite today's conditions suiting him better than heavy or soft.

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.
