TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the horse to beat, drawing stall 2 which sits in the low-draw advantage zone at Naas. He was beaten just half a length on his return 32 days ago, and that race experience under his belt is exactly why the editorial verdict highlights him as the big player here. His record on normal ground reads one win from three races — better than most rivals can offer.

"He was a neck second in the Dewhurst as a two-year-old in 2024, which was a massive run on his second start, but then he just didn't have a clean run at things last year. He'll have a run before the Lockinge Stakes and we'll see what happens. 31-03-26"

TrackLab Insight
The highest-rated horse in the field on official ratings, sitting 11 points above the field average, and his record over this exact seven-furlong trip is outstanding — three wins from six races at that distance. The big flag here is the 211-day absence; he hasn't raced since last October, and a horse returning from nearly seven months off needs to hit the ground running in a race like this.

Trainer Quotes

"He ran a great race on Sunday in a Group 3 in France, which was no surprise because I've never seen him looking so well. He finished off last year really strongly, winning two big handicaps, and he's more than up to running in Group races. He loves heavy ground - that's the key to him. 31-03-26"

TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the field — he wins roughly one in every three races, a standout figure among these 11 runners. He raced at this very course just 20 days ago, finishing fourth and beaten only two lengths, so he arrives race-fit and course-fresh. The question is whether he can convert that consistency into a win at this level.
He arrives in the best recent momentum of any runner here — a second place followed by a win at Cork just 23 days ago means he steps up in class on the back of back-to-back strong performances. He's only had four races in total, so there could be more improvement to come as he fills out and learns his job. The step from a Cork win to a Listed race at Naas is a big one, but his trajectory is hard to ignore.

TrackLab Insight
The least experienced horse in the field with just two races under his belt — but what he has done with them is eye-catching: a win followed by a second place, giving him a record any horse here would be happy with. The unknown is that he has never raced on normal turf ground before, having run only on artificial surfaces at Dundalk and Gowran Park. Plenty of upside, but real questions too.

"He's a smart horse who won on his debut at Dundalk over the winter and had a very nice run at Gowran when second this month. We're looking at going to the Tetrarch next. 22-04-26"

The longest absence in the field by some distance — she hasn't raced in 259 days, which is over eight months away from the track. When fit, she has shown ability with two wins and four places from seven races, but stepping back in after that long a break in a Listed race is a stiff ask. Her last run before the break was an eighth-place finish, so she wasn't in great form when she left the track either.

TrackLab Insight
One of only two course winners in this field, which matters at a track where familiarity counts. He ran a solid second at the Curragh 50 days ago and comes in with a decent draw in stall 7, right in the sweet spot for this course. The concern is that all his wins have come on something other than normal ground — he has never won on standard conditions in seven attempts.

TrackLab Insight
One of only two horses in this field who has already won at this course, which is a genuine tick in the right column. The problem is his most recent run — beaten 23 lengths at the Curragh 50 days ago — was a significant step backwards from the Leopardstown win before it. At odds of 19.0, punters are not convinced he can recapture that better form.
She has four career wins, but here's the catch: they have all come at Dundalk, a very different all-weather track to today's turf course at Naas. Her last run — tenth, beaten over 11 lengths at the Curragh 28 days ago — was poor, and the market has drifted her out to 51.0. The data simply doesn't support confidence on this surface and at this level.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)
Just one win from 14 races tells its own story, but what's interesting is she has finished second in each of her last two races, beaten only half a length most recently at Gowran Park. She drops down two class levels compared to her usual competition, which could help. The snag is she has never won on normal ground in four attempts — her sole win came on faster conditions.

TrackLab Insight
One win from 11 races and an eighth-place finish last time out, beaten over 23 lengths at Cork — that's a tough case to make in a Listed race. She has been placed five times so tends to run respectably, but the recent form is pointing in the wrong direction. At 29.0, the market treats her as a long shot and the data backs that view.
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.
