TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by 11 pounds — a significant gap — and the market favourite, which reflects that official superiority on paper. Trained by Willie Mullins, Ireland's dominant force in the sport, she arrives having fallen at her last run at Leopardstown, so there is a bounce-back question to answer. Just one win from eight races is a modest return for a horse of her rating, but if she reproduces her best she is the one to beat.

TrackLab Insight
Kilgame arrives here as one of the leading market contenders after winning at Navan just 47 days ago, and he has placed in every single career race bar one from five outings. Crucially, he has the best record at today's two-mile trip of any runner in the field, with a win and three placings from four attempts at this distance. Consistent, in-form, and proven at the trip — he makes plenty of sense.

TrackLab Insight
The editorial verdict picks her out, and the data backs the interest — she has the best win rate in the field at roughly one in every three races, and she has already won over this course and distance. The concern is a distant 21st at Cheltenham last time out, and the editorial note that today's two miles may be on the short side for her. She is the class act of the field on form, but she needs the trip to suit.

TrackLab Insight
Seven races into his career and still waiting for a first win — that blank record is hard to ignore. He has finished in the frame three times without converting, and his odds drifting out dramatically from near-evens suggests confidence is low. He has never raced on today's slightly soft ground, and returning after a three-month break adds another question mark.

Trainer Quotes
Nov 2024
"I thought he ran a cracker in the maiden hurdle at Punchestown on Sunday. He travelled well for a long way and left his bumper form behind. That sets him up for a nice season and we'll try to find a suitable maiden hurdle for him now. I was delighted with him. 25-11-24"

TrackLab Insight
The youngest horse in the field at just four years old and the most lightly raced — he has run only once in his entire career, finishing 12th at Aintree 27 days ago. He has never raced on today's slightly soft conditions, and with no wins or places to his name, there is simply no evidence yet to suggest he can compete with more experienced rivals. This looks like a learning experience.

TrackLab Insight
The second-highest rated horse in the field, which tells you there is genuine ability here even if the record of one win from 12 races suggests he rarely delivers on it. His most recent run was an encouraging second at Cork just a month ago, keeping him in good heart. The concern is that his best form has come on faster ground, and he has never won when conditions are on the softer side.

TrackLab Insight
The longest absentee in the field by some margin — he has not raced in over seven months, which is a significant unknown however you look at it. He has won twice from 12 races and his jockey is riding with real confidence right now, winning four from his last 12 rides, which is a genuine positive. But asking a horse returning from that long a break to hit top gear immediately is a big ask.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by a distance — 31 races compared to a field average of 10 — and crucially the only runner proven to have won over this course and distance. He was beaten just over a length at Clonmel three weeks ago, so he arrives in decent form. The catch is that he has never won on soft ground in six attempts, and today's conditions are slightly soft — a nagging concern despite his obvious course claims.

TrackLab Insight
Nine years old and only one win from nine races — this is a horse that competes honestly without often getting the job done. His one win came on soft ground, which is a positive today, but he was beaten 75 lengths at his last two runs and that form is hard to get past. At 26-1 he reflects his chances fairly.

TrackLab Insight
Two wins from 15 races is a modest return, but both victories came in 2025, suggesting this horse is improving. The worry is that both wins came on good ground, and he has never won when the conditions are more testing — today's slightly soft ground is uncharted territory for him in the winner's enclosure. A pulled-up run and a distant last in his last two outings we have finishing positions for also temper expectations.

TrackLab Insight
A horse with a solid record of two wins and six placed finishes from eight races, but his last run was a distant fifth at Cork just over a month ago and he has never raced on today's slightly soft conditions. Both of his wins came on faster ground, and he has never won when it has been on the looser, wetter side. Consistent overall, but the ground today is unproven territory for him.

TrackLab Insight
The least experienced horse in the field with just five races under his belt, and no wins to show from them. His last completed run we have a finishing position for saw him beaten over 100 lengths at Cork, which is a tough look coming into this. At 150-1, the market has made its view very clear.

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.
