Super Value
TrackLab Insight
The market favourite at 4.33 and the only real angle here is the win at Roscommon exactly a year ago—that's the course form that matters in a 19-runner field. Recent 4th at Punchestown 59 days ago is respectable, and the 33% win rate on yielding ground gives a thread to follow, but normal conditions are less kind (0 wins from 5 starts on good-to-yielding).
Has won over this course and distance
Market favourite (4.33)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
The only course winner in this field, having won at Roscommon just 57 days ago—that's the standout marker here, but it comes with a major caveat: this horse has won just once in 15 races and has never won on good or good-to-yielding ground, which makes today's normal conditions uncomfortable territory. Recent 2nd at Killarney shows some form, but the track record is built on one good day.
One of few course winners (1 wins here)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Winless in 14 races with only a single place finish to its name—this is a horse that simply hasn't been competitive enough at this level. The standout issue is that this horse has never even raced on normal ground before, making today an unknown and unpromising debut on the going.
Never raced on normal ground
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Recent form shows promise: 2nd at Clonmel and 3rd at Killarney in the last two months, though the 8th at Wexford last time out is a step back. Only one win from 26 races (4% win rate), but the good ground win (1 from 8 starts) offers a thread on normal conditions—this is a horse that has finally found some traction.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
One win from 19 races (at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day 2025) followed by nothing—a 16-month drought that speaks volumes. Back from two recent pulls-up, and it has never won on good, yielding, or good-to-yielding ground, making today's normal conditions an unpromising prospect.
Mid-range in the market (17.0)
TrackLab Insight
One win in 16 races tells the story here, and that single victory came over a year ago—this is a horse that has been grinding without reward since. Only positive note is a 33% win rate on good-to-yielding ground, but today's normal conditions don't play to that strength, and recent form (5th, 11th, 9th) is deeply concerning.
Mid-range in the market (12.0)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
At 11 years old with 69 races under its belt, this is by far the most experienced horse in the field, and the 7 wins suggest staying power (10% win rate). Two recent pulls-up are concerning, but the 21% win rate on good-to-yielding ground (normal conditions today) is the best angle here—experience and track-suitable form are the standouts.
Best record on this ground (2 from 15)
Most experienced (69 runs, field avg 20)
TrackLab Insight
At 13 years old, this is one of the more successful horses in the field with 2 wins from 24 races—a 1-in-12 win rate that's better than most here. The risk is recent form: 5th, 4th, 6th show it's still competitive, but normal ground conditions are not kind (0 wins from 5 starts on good ground).
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
Good Value
TrackLab Insight
Carries the lowest weight in the field (142lbs), but that's the only positive marker—14 races, zero wins, and recent form of 9th, 6th, 6th, 6th shows a consistent lower-grade runner. Zero wins from zero places is a grim record, and the 51.0 odds are justified.
Carries lowest weight in field
TrackLab Insight
Two wins from 27 races, but here's the crucial detail: both victories came at this track (Roscommon), making it a course specialist rather than a consistent winner elsewhere. The recent form is troubling (9th, pulled-up, 12th), though normal ground does suit (1 win from 8 starts on good)—this is a horse with a specific Roscommon edge that recent runs haven't reinforced.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
The best record in the field by a margin: 3 wins from 20 races means roughly 1 win every 7 outings, and crucially, 2 wins from just 4 tries at this exact distance (3m 1f). The problem is recent form at Roscommon 57 days ago (9th) and a 12-year-old frame that hasn't found the winners' circle in months, despite that strong record.
Best record at this trip (2 from 4)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 7)
TrackLab Insight
An 11-year-old that has never won in 20 races, and hasn't raced in 145 days—a long absence that makes reading form difficult. The 2nd-place finish at Limerick last time was closest to a breakthrough, but the subsequent 11th at Limerick suggests that was a blip, not a pattern.
2nd highest rated (OR 97)
TrackLab Insight
Despite being rated highest by the editorial verdict, this is a winless 14-race horse with recent form that reads like a cautionary tale: 7th, unplaced, 4th, 8th, 5th, 4th. The 15.0 odds reflect the ratings advantage, but the lack of a winner's circle visit and the poor recent runs (7th at Downpatrick 21 days ago) suggest the rating advantage isn't translating to reality.
Winless from 14 career races
TrackLab Insight
Seven races, zero wins, zero places—this horse has been consistently out of the frame since the start and has never raced on normal ground, making today an untested venture. The 34.0 odds and recent 7th at Killarney reflect a horse struggling to compete at this level.
Never raced on normal ground
TrackLab Insight
Six years old, 11 races, zero wins: this is a horse that has only managed one place finish and pulled-up at Roscommon just 29 days ago. The 51.0 odds speak for themselves—no obvious angle here.
Winless from 11 career races
TrackLab Insight
This horse hasn't raced in 637 days (nearly 21 months)—by far the longest absence in the field—and comes back with zero wins from 9 career races. The extended layoff, coupled with a blank career record and 101.0 odds, makes this a straightforward non-runner for practical purposes.
Lowest rated, 14lbs below average
Absent 637 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
Relatively inexperienced at just nine career races and still searching for a first win, though the 2nd at Wexford 69 days ago (beaten narrowly by 1.2L) shows promise. Recent form is mixed (6th, 6th, 2nd), and the lack of a track record makes it hard to assess value, though the youth and occasional near-misses offer some hope.
Relatively inexperienced (9 career races)
TrackLab Insight
One win from 49 races (2% win rate) over an extremely long career shows this is a horse running on fumes—that single win came only six weeks ago at Kilbeggan, but today's normal ground is problematic (0 wins from 20 starts on good). The recent 3rd and 4th at Killarney and Kilbeggan show some traction, but the 49-race career tells the real story.
Placed in 2 of last 3 races
TrackLab Insight
At just five years old with only 7 career races, this is one of the inexperienced runners, but the standout is the recent form: 2nd at Kilbeggan 25 days ago, 4th, and 3rd before that—this horse has placed in 2 of its last 3 runs. Still winless, but the trajectory and youth suggest more upside than most in this competitive field.

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.
