Naas

The most consistently placed horse in the field who has yet to win — both of her races have ended in a top-three finish, including a second at the Curragh just two weeks ago. She has never won but has been competitive every time, which makes her one of the more reliable profiles in the race. The step up against a horse like Star Prospect, who has already won, is the key test.

Has raced just twice but finished in the top three both times, including a win at Dundalk. However, his most recent run was a distant third at the Curragh — beaten nearly ten lengths — which raises questions heading into this. Like most of this field, he has never raced on normal ground, so today is another unknown.

Making her racecourse debut today, so there is simply no form to judge her on — she is a complete unknown. The good news is she draws the lowest stall in a race where low draws have the best record at this course and distance. Whether that helps a first-time runner is another matter entirely.

One race, one sixth-place finish, and now a new jockey in the saddle for the first time — this pair have never worked together before. She has not raced on normal ground and hasn't run in over six weeks, so there are plenty of unknowns surrounding this run. At 26-1, the market is not expecting much, and the evidence on paper backs that up.
