TrackLab Insight
The standout horse in this field by almost every measure: top-rated by 6lbs, four wins from six career races, and a ready winner here at Naas just 20 days ago beating several of these same rivals. Ryan Moore takes the ride, the trainer has won nearly 1 in 3 races with this jockey, and the editorial verdict suggests there may still be more to come — this is the horse to beat.

"He did great to win on Champions Day last year. He's a gelding, so he'll have to work for a living this year! He'll be working with Brussels and Charles Darwin and will run in the sprinting division. 31-03-26"

The only horse in this field to have won at Naas before, and did it just 20 days ago at this very course — recent, relevant, and proven here. Rated 8lbs above the field average, this is one of the highest-rated runners in the race and brings a 29% career win rate that represents genuine consistency at this level.

TrackLab Insight
Four wins from seven races including a top-level win at Goodwood last July — that is a 57% career win rate that rivals even Mission Central for sheer quality on paper. The big concern is the longest absence in the field at 247 days, with her last two runs producing 9th and 14th place finishes before that break, so she needs to rediscover her best form quickly on return.

TrackLab Insight
Just one win from 14 career races overall, but this horse has been finishing second in consecutive races — including a near miss by a whisker at the Curragh and a close second here at Naas 20 days ago. If she can finally convert that consistency into a win, this is a course and distance where her finishing effort looks genuinely relevant.

TrackLab Insight
The least experienced horse in the field with just 10 career races, which can cut both ways — less exposed, but also less proven at this level. Her most recent run at Cork 14 days ago is unknown, which makes it genuinely hard to assess where she stands heading into a competitive listed race today.

TrackLab Insight
A well-travelled six-year-old with two top-level wins in Britain on his record, but he was beaten nearly three lengths at this very course just 20 days ago and has never won on fast or dry ground in eight attempts. With the longest career record in the field, there are no secrets here — and the recent runs don't suggest a revival is imminent.

TrackLab Insight
Has won twice at this exact course and distance, which is the most relevant course form in the entire field — but that's where the good news ends for now. His last six runs show finishes of 10th, 14th, and 17th, and he hasn't raced competitively since finishing last at Ascot over a year and a half ago. Hard to trust on current form.

TrackLab Insight
Won at the very top level in Britain at Goodwood last summer, which puts that victory above most rivals here on paper. The concern is a five-month absence since a poor run at Dundalk, and this horse has yet to win on normal ground in three attempts — a real question mark for today's conditions.

TrackLab Insight
Six career wins including a top-level victory at Ascot in 2023, but this horse has never won on normal ground in five attempts — a significant problem given today's conditions. Finished 10th here just 20 days ago, and while the overall record is solid, nothing in recent form suggests a big improvement is coming.

TrackLab Insight
The standout stat here is an extraordinary record at five furlongs — three wins from just four races at this trip — but that form feels a long way away right now after finishing 12th here 20 days ago and 7th at the Curragh before that. Rated 10lbs below the field average, she faces a steep climb against the top horses today.

Drops two levels in class today compared to her usual racing, which might sound like an opportunity — but she has tried and failed at Naas five times without winning once. Three finishes of 10th or worse in her last three runs make it hard to build a case, even with the class drop.

TrackLab Insight
Rated 17lbs below the field average — the biggest gap to the top of the ratings of any horse here — and has finished 6th, 8th, and 6th in her last three runs without threatening. At odds of 101, the market has made its view very clear, and there is nothing in the recent form to argue with it.
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.
