Form Track

Super Value

Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before Has won on this ground

TrackLab Insight

Market favourite at 3.75 and rightfully so—Ladies Well has the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 win every 6 races (17%), plus a fresh victory at Killarney just 18 days ago. This is the form horse, though the unseating incident at Kilbeggan seven weeks ago is a minor concern.

Best career win rate in field (1 in 6) Market favourite (3.75)

4 Island McCoo

S. Flanagan · D. Duggan · 9yo · 11st 8lb · OR 89

Headgear Form

Wearing tongue strap Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before Won at this distance 1 time

TrackLab Insight

Won six weeks ago at Kilbeggan and showed sharp recent form, but Island McCoo has 0 wins from 9 races on good ground—a critical weakness on today's firm, normal conditions. The 9-year-old's recent fourth at Kilbeggan (beaten just 3.2 lengths) is encouraging but the ground profile here doesn't suit.

One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)

8 Dunany Point

K. Buckley · C. David Maxwell · 7yo · 11st 4lb · OR 85

Headgear Form

Good Value

Wearing cheekpieces Won 0 of last 5 Has won on this ground

TrackLab Insight

Placed in 2 of the last 3 runs including a close third at Wexford 13 days ago (beaten 3.5 lengths), Dunany Point shows momentum and the only ground-based strength in the field: 1 win from 10 on good ground (10%). This horse is live for a minor placing.

Placed in 2 of last 3 races

7 Another Challenge

P. Enright · O. McKiernan · 6yo · 11st 4lb · OR 85

Freshness Form

9.6

Good Value

Fresh (75 days off) Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Winless from 9 races and 75 days since last run—layoff combined with a dreadful recent seventh (beaten 54.8 lengths) at Limerick means Another Challenge arrives out of form and with questions to answer. This is a horse the market has abandoned at 13.0 odds for good reason.

Relatively inexperienced (9 career races)

1 Full Noise

M. D McGill(7) · G. McGill · 10yo · 11st 12lb · OR 93

Headgear Freshness

9.5

Wearing cheekpieces Fresh (758 days off) Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Off the track for 758 days—by far the longest absence in this field—Full Noise is a genuine unknown returning from nearly two years out. The 10-year-old won twice from 13 races but showed poor form on good-to-yielding ground (0 wins from 3), which matters today on normal conditions. This is a high-risk proposition against rivals who have raced recently.

Absent 758 days (longest in field)

6 King's Son

J. J Slevin · S. Neville · 6yo · 11st 5lb · OR 86

Headgear Form

9.5

Good Value

Wearing blinkers Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Still searching for a maiden win after 9 races with just 2 places on the board, King's Son has lost all cutting edge: two consecutive sixths at Wexford in recent weeks show a horse struggling at this level. The inexperience (only 9 races) is less a standout than the complete absence of form.

Relatively inexperienced (9 career races)

13 Tantrum Boy

P. Byrnes · B. M McMahon · 6yo · 10st 11lb · OR 78

Form

9.5

Good Value

Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Only 6 career races and winless with a single place to show, Tantrum Boy is relatively inexperienced but recent form (fourth, ninth, eleventh) shows he competes without threatening. This is a maiden still searching at 10.0 odds.

Relatively inexperienced (6 career races)

12 Ballyredinkingston

M. Kenneally(5) · J. Patrick Ryan · 6yo · 10st 11lb · OR 78

Form

8.4

Good Value

Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Winless from 12 races with no sign of a breakthrough, Ballyredinkingston hasn't raced since being pulled up or unplaced at Limerick 33 days ago. The record (0 wins, 3 places) and lack of recent form data make this a non-runner in reality.

Winless from 12 career races

2 Gaoithe Glory

G. B Noonan · E. McNamara · 6yo · 11st 11lb · OR 92

Headgear Form

8.0

Wearing tongue strap Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before

TrackLab Insight

Winless from 13 career races with just one place to show for it, Gaoithe Glory has no wins in its category—it's been searching for a maiden success for its entire racing life. Recent form (two consecutive fifths) offers no encouragement that a breakthrough is imminent.

Winless from 13 career races

9 Doyen Wolf

S. O'Callaghan(3) · J. R Finn · 10yo · 11st 1lb · OR 82

Freshness Form

6.4

Fresh (84 days off) Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

At 10 years old with just 7 career races and zero wins, Doyen Wolf is a persistent plodder—yet he ran just 84 days ago with a third place finish. The age, inexperience, and complete absence of a winning record make this a 200-1 shot, not 10.0.

Relatively inexperienced (7 career races)

11 Backinabit

D. King · D. Gerard Hogan · 7yo · 10st 11lb · OR 78

Headgear Form

4.9

Wearing blinkers Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before Loves this ground (33% win rate)

TrackLab Insight

Just broke through 32 days ago at Wexford after 11 failed attempts, but then ran poorly eighth at the same track 12 days ago. The positive is a 33% win rate on good ground (1 from 3)—ideal for today—but the recent form reversal and pullups at Sligo are worrying signs.

Best record on this ground (1 from 3)

3 Jouster

J. Williamson(5) · P. W Flynn · 7yo · 11st 9lb · OR 90

Headgear Form

4.6

Wearing blinkers Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before Won at this distance 1 time

TrackLab Insight

One of the genuinely experienced winners in the field with 2 victories from 22 races, but Jouster is struggling: pulled up at Killarney 18 days ago and 0 wins from 10 races on good-to-yielding or good ground—exactly what today's conditions present. The recent pullup is a red flag.

One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)

10 Firstupbestdressed

M. O McGill(5) · G. McGill · 6yo · 10st 13lb · OR 80

Headgear Form

1.6

Wearing cheekpieces Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Eight races, zero wins, zero places—Firstupbestdressed has never finished in the frame and was buried 14th at Downpatrick three weeks ago, beaten 51 lengths. This is a horse operating well below the required level for a competitive handicap.

Placed in 2 of last 3 races

14 Rideau Canal

E. O'Sullivan(7) · M. Denise Foster · 11yo · 10st 10lb · OR 77

Headgear Form

1.6

Wearing cheekpieces Won 1 of last 5 Raced here before Won at this distance 1 time

TrackLab Insight

At 11 years old with just 1 win from 26 races (4%), Rideau Canal is the most experienced horse here but also the most worn out—and pulled up at Roscommon 57 days ago, which is especially relevant since today's race is at the same track. This horse is done.

Among the more experienced (26 career races)

16 Max Time

A. O'Sullivan(5) · I. Madden · 9yo · 10st 5lb · OR 72

Headgear Form

1.5

Wearing tongue strap Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before

TrackLab Insight

Lowest rated in the field at 72 (12lbs below average) and carries the lightest weight, but Max Time is a 9-year-old who has won just once from 36 races—a 3% win rate. The 13th-place finish at Sligo 56 days ago (beaten 66.5 lengths) confirms this is a beaten horse.

15 Johnny M

P. M O'Brien(5) · E. McNamara · 8yo · 10st 6lb · OR 73

Headgear Form

0.6

Wearing blinkers Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Pulled up at Killarney 18 days ago and winless from 12 races despite 3 places, Johnny M has never crossed the line first. Carried at 61.0 odds, the recent pullup combined with complete absence of wins makes this a difficult prospect.

Placed in 2 of last 3 races

17 Run For The Border

· J. Patrick Ryan · 6yo · 12st 0lb · OR 95

Form

0.1

Won 1 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Top-rated at 95 and placed in 2 of the last 3 runs, including a narrow second at Ballinrobe 14 days ago (beaten 2.2 lengths), Run For The Border is a genuine threat. However, 0 wins from 5 attempts on good ground—today's conditions—is a critical flaw that limits appeal at 8.0.

Placed in 2 of last 3 races

18 Charlie's Gift

· J. M Burke · 6yo · 11st 8lb · OR 89

Form

0.1

Won 0 of last 5

TrackLab Insight

Winless from 10 races with just one place, Charlie's Gift pulled up at Kilbeggan 50 days ago and is struggling: seventh, seventh, eighth in three of four recent outings. This horse has gone backwards not forwards.

Winless from 10 career races

19 Not So Serious

· W. J Lanigan · 5yo · 11st 4lb · OR 85

Form Ground

0.1

Won 1 of last 5 Has won on this ground

TrackLab Insight

Just won at Ballinrobe 14 days ago—his maiden breakthrough after 8 failed attempts—and showed a 25% win rate on good ground (1 from 4), which perfectly suits today's conditions. At 9.0 odds, this is the most recent form angle and the editorial call, though the experience level (9 races) remains modest compared to rivals.

Relatively inexperienced (9 career races)
