Market favourite at 2.1 and trained by W P Mullins's yard, which has a strong win rate with this jockey pairing. But he's only had two races, fell in one, and despite being favourite he's showed nothing to suggest he's ready to break through — just lightly raced with thin evidence.
Lightly raced (2 career races)Market favourite (2.1)
Second favourite at 4.5 trained by Gordon Elliott, but has competed at Class 2 level across eight races without a win — a sign he may be working above his ceiling. His most recent run was sixth at Galway, and while he gets places, he hasn't shown enough to justify the market confidence here.

TrackLab Insight
Top-rated by 5lbs and the only horse in this field with a proven track record on normal ground (1 win from 8 starts here). However, he's drifted dramatically in the market and his recent form is poor — eleventh at Galway just 18 days ago suggests he's struggling right now despite his rating advantage.
Top rated by 5lbsBest record on this ground (1 from 8)
Virtually no form to go on — just one race finish (fourth at Ballinrobe 26 days ago). However, he's part of Henry De Bromhead's operation, which has sent out 110 winners this season, so the yard clearly knows what it's doing even if this individual is completely unproven at this level.

TrackLab Insight
Winless from 24 career races and has now had two runs at Tramore without winning (fourth here 40 days ago). While he does get into the frame regularly, at six years old with zero wins this is a horse that hasn't broken through and may never will.
Most experienced runner in the field by a country mile (40 races versus a field average of 10) and boasts the best career win rate at 1 in 10. He's shown three straight second-place finishes but then bombed at Galway, and crucially he's never won on good or firm ground — he's a standard-ground specialist.

Eight races, zero wins but four places — he's clearly shown up but can't break through. The youngest horse here at four years old and decent enough recent form (third at Sligo), but still hunting for that elusive maiden win across an increasingly frustrating career.
Lightly raced with two starts and no places to show for it — finished sixth and eleventh, suggesting he's running in the right ballpark but not competitive enough yet. At 61.0 odds, the market has marked him down as an outsider with everything still to prove.
Just one race under his belt and finished ninth at Cork 13 days ago, beaten nearly 64 lengths. These are the bare bones of form, and at 81.0 odds he's rightly treated as having serious work to do to even threaten this field.

TrackLab Insight
A genuine rescue mission: this 7-year-old hasn't raced in 829 days (nearly two years) and returns with zero wins from three career races. The massive odds of 67.0 tell the story — he's a genuine longshot with everything to prove after a career-altering absence.

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.
