TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite and the horse the editorial verdict singles out, Quiryn ran at Cheltenham 50 days ago and finished sixth — but the key detail is that he did so while racing keenly, meaning he was hard to settle and still ran respectably. Trained by Willie Mullins, whose jockey-trainer combination here has an exceptional record of winning roughly 1 in 3 races together, this is comfortably the most high-profile pairing in the field. He has never raced on wet or muddy ground before, which is the only genuine question mark against him today.

TrackLab Insight
The most recently raced horse in the field, he ran just 19 days ago at Aintree in England and finished second, which means he arrives here fit and in form. Trained by Willie Mullins, Ireland's champion trainer, he's the only horse in this race with experience at a high-profile British festival track. Like most of his rivals, he's never tackled wet or muddy conditions before, but his consistency — a win and two seconds from three races — makes him one of the more solid options here.

M. H C Swan · G. Elliott · 5yo · 12st 0lb
Debut
14
First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
This is his very first race, so there is no form to point to whatsoever — everything is unknown. Trained by Gordon Elliott, who also saddles Bon Bon Fizz today, so the yard has two chances. Without any racecourse experience to assess, punters are essentially backing potential rather than proven ability.

TrackLab Insight
Won at Fairyhouse 86 days ago but had finished fifth at Leopardstown in the race before that, so his form is a little up and down. He's had the longest break of the main fancies, returning after nearly three months off. With only two races behind him, there's still a lot we don't know about this horse.

"He came from a UK point-to-point and is a very nice horse. He'll start off in a bumper. 04-11-25"

TrackLab Insight
Trained by Gordon Elliott, one of Ireland's leading trainers, and arrives here having won at Thurles last time out after a fall on his previous visit to the same track. Like several rivals today, he has never run on wet or muddy ground before, so that's an open question. Two races in, he's done nothing wrong when completing — but his experience is minimal.

TrackLab Insight
Just one race to his name, a second-place finish at Naas 67 days ago, which means almost everything about this horse is still unknown. He's never raced on wet or muddy ground before, and with the thinnest experience profile in the field alongside the debutants, there's very little to go on. The drifting odds — moving out rather than shortening — suggest punters aren't rushing to back him.

Wearing hood Won 1 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
One race, one win — a perfect record on paper, but a single race at Leopardstown tells us almost nothing about how he'll handle a step up in competition today. He's the youngest horse in the field at four years old and has never experienced wet or muddy ground before. He wears a hood, which is sometimes used to help a horse focus, and jockey and trainer are partnering up for the first time.

6.8
Won 1 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
His last run at Cheltenham was a disaster — he finished 20th, beaten nearly 50 lengths — but that followed a winning debut at Gowran Park, so his record is hard to read. He's trained by Willie Mullins, who also runs Look Me and the market favourite Quiryn today, so within that powerful yard he appears to be the third-string option. He's never raced on wet or muddy ground before.

1.6
Wearing hood Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
He's been placed in every single race he's entered — third and second from two outings — which shows he's consistently competitive, even if he hasn't crossed the line first yet. His previous races were run in Britain, making him an unfamiliar name in Irish company, and he's never raced on wet or muddy ground before. He wears a hood today and is a big price at 41-1, suggesting the market doesn't fancy his chances of turning those placed efforts into a win.

TrackLab Insight
Won on debut at Limerick last time out, but this is only his second race so we know very little about him yet. Crucially, he has never raced on wet or muddy ground before, and today's soft conditions are an unknown quantity. With just two races to his name, he's one of the least experienced horses in the field.

Fresh (222 days off) Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
The biggest concern here is straightforward: this horse hasn't raced for 222 days, the longest absence of any runner in this field by a distance. Before that break, his form was mixed — a second place followed by a seventh — so there's nothing on the clock to suggest he'll come back firing. At 67-1, the market is essentially writing him off.

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.
