The editorial verdict puts it plainly — Tyson Fury is rated 16lbs clear of the field average, which is a huge advantage in a race like this, and the race distance of a mile and a half sits squarely in its wheelhouse. A 10th-place finish at the Curragh just seven days ago looks concerning on the surface, but prior to that it ran back-to-back second-place efforts and the jockey has been in sharp form recently. Despite the moderate win rate across 24 career races, the class edge over these rivals is substantial.

Three career wins from 20 races gives Merlin The Wizard more winning experience than most in this field, but the last of those victories came nearly three years ago and it has gone six races without winning since. A third at Ballinrobe recently shows it can still get into races, but it drops back to a mile and a half today having shown its best form at shorter distances. Colin Keane takes the ride in good current form, which helps.

Seven races, no wins, and just a single place finish — the record is thin, but the trainer angle is worth noting. Joseph O'Brien's yard has been firing, winning roughly 1 in 5 races over the last two weeks, and the jockey pairing with Dylan Browne McMonagle has produced 224 wins together from this stable. The horse itself hasn't shown a great deal yet, but it has better support than most in this field.

Trained by Gordon Elliott, Wolfpack is the second-highest rated horse in the race — just 16lbs behind the top-rated Tyson Fury — and a fourth-place finish at Dundalk two weeks ago shows it is in reasonable nick. The concern is that it has never raced on today's slightly soft ground, and its best form has come on fast, dry ground. A genuine contender for a place, but taking on the class of Tyson Fury is a tall order.

No wins from seven races and a near six-month absence make this a hard sell, despite being trained by one of Ireland's most respected handlers. The closest it has come recently was a third at Gowran Park, but a distant ninth last time out before the long break is not an encouraging note to return on. Needs to show something fresh today.

"She's a Frankel filly who's really starting to come now. She'll run in a maiden soon, perhaps at Limerick on Friday. She stays well. 23-04-25"

The best win rate in the field — winning 1 in every 4 races — but there are genuine questions here. It has been off the track for over seven months, has never raced on today's slightly soft ground, and its odds have collapsed spectacularly from near-certainty to a 23/1 outsider, which tells its own story. The blinkers may sharpen things up, but this looks like a horse with plenty to prove on its return.

Thirteen races into its career and still without a win — that is the blunt reality for Glendower. A third-place finish at Ballinrobe last month is at least a sign of life after two awful efforts before that, but converting that kind of form into an actual victory has proved beyond it so far. Hard to make a case for it in a field that includes a horse rated 27lbs higher.
Winless from 13 career races

Only two career races to its name, making it the least experienced horse in the field, and the record so far — no wins — does not offer much to go on. It has never raced on today's slightly soft ground, and its last result at Killarney is listed as unknown, so assessing current form is genuinely difficult. There is too much uncertainty here to get excited.

The most alarming stat in the race: Peace Walk has not raced in 608 days — well over a year and a half away from competition. One win from ten career races was modest enough, and the jockey today has never partnered this horse before. Coming back after such a long absence, on ground it has never tried, makes this extremely hard to recommend.

Thirteen races, zero wins, and not a single place finish — Timandi is the lowest-rated horse in the field and the record offers nothing to build a case on. Consecutive finishes of 14th, 12th, and 9th suggest it is getting further from the front, not closer. This one looks like a horse still searching for the right race.

Six races with finishes of 10th, 10th, 18th, 11th, 9th, and 6th — Dreamed To Dream has never once threatened to get competitive. It has never raced on today's slightly soft ground and the trainer has had no winners in the last two weeks. There is simply nothing in the data to suggest this is about to change.

The standout marker says 'placed in 2 of last 3 races' but the actual data tells a very different story — finishes of 15th, 8th, and 14th in those three runs. Six races, no wins, no places, and beaten by nearly 32 lengths last time out. At 101/1, the market has assessed this accurately.

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.
