By a distance the most experienced horse in this race — 45 runs compared to a field average of 17 — Gamigin has seen it all and won 4 times, with his best results coming on soft or fast ground rather than the in-between conditions on offer today. He has never won on ground similar to today's slightly wet surface across 9 attempts, which is a real concern. Two sixth-place finishes in his last two completed races suggest he is not hitting form at the right time either.
The market favourite and the highest-rated horse in this field by some margin, Fedneys Park arrives off her best run under rules — a fourth-place finish at Bellewstown — and now drops into softer company than she has faced before. The big unknown is today's slightly wet ground, which she has never raced on, and her odds have drifted sharply from the morning, suggesting punters have doubts. Henry De Bromhead and Darragh O'Keeffe are a formidable combination who win roughly 1 in 6 races together, so the team is strong even if the record is not.
Never raced on slightly soft groundMarket favourite (5.5)
Nine races, no wins, and not even a placed finish to soften the blow — Comanche Moon has a blank slate in every column that matters. He has never raced on today's slightly wet ground, so there is a genuine unknown about whether conditions might suit, but there is nothing in his record to build confidence on. A 7th here at Wexford last time suggests he knows the track at least.

The standout stat here: Menas Miracle is the only horse in this field to have won at Wexford, and she has won over this exact course and distance — a record no rival can match. She also has the best record at today's trip of 2m 1f, winning 1 from 3 at it. The concern is a 198-day absence and a poor record on ground similar to today's, but if she has trained well, her course-specific form makes her the most interesting runner on paper.

Second-shortest in the market at 8.0, which makes Cholo an interesting puzzle — the odds suggest some confidence, but his record of no wins from 7 races and a run of 5th, 13th, 10th, and 11th in his last four known runs is not the form of a horse about to break through. His trainer and jockey have not yet won together in 8 attempts, and his last run at Tramore is unknown. The market support is the most positive thing about him right now.

She carries the lightest weight in the field, which in a handicap race is an advantage on paper — but Avandra has raced 17 times without a single win or placed finish, the worst combined record of any horse in this race. Back-to-back 12th-place finishes are the most recent evidence. The light weight is the only hook here, and it needs a lot of the other pieces to fall right.
One win from 12 races and a record that shows she handles fast, dry ground well — but she has never won on wet ground, and today's slightly soft surface is a genuine negative for her profile. Her last three finishing positions are not available in the data, which makes it hard to assess current form. At 19.0, the market is not giving her much of a chance, and the ground concerns back that up.
One of the least experienced runners in this field with just 5 races to her name, Annie's Belle is a five-year-old who is still finding her feet. She has one placed finish from those five outings, and recent results of 5th and 9th show she is competing without threatening. Her last run at Wexford — this very course — is unknown from the available data, which is a gap worth noting.
Forty-two career races and not a single win — Craic Eile and Teagarden Jazz are the joint-longest losing streaks in this field, and at nine years old, the window is not getting any wider. He has been off the track for over eight months, and his last run was a 9th beaten nearly 30 lengths. There is very little in the data to suggest today will be different.

With 43 career races, La Tulipe Noire is among the most experienced horses here, and she has won on soft ground before — a relevant positive for today. However, she has run 7 times recently and her last six results are a sequence of 7th, 8th, 5th, 9th, 10th, and 8th, none of them close. This is also the first time her jockey Cian Quirke rides her, and a new combination rarely signals peak preparation.

Rated 15 pounds below the field average — the biggest gap of any runner here — Esticky End is the lowest-rated horse in the race on official figures, which is a significant mountain to climb in a handicap. Three wins from 37 races shows there is ability, but he has never won on ground like today's and has struggled on right-handed tracks across 9 attempts without success. His trainer and jockey have not won together in 10 races.

The most interesting unknown in the field: Final Decision has the best win record on ground similar to today's, winning 1 from 3 on comparable conditions — but she has not raced for 400 days, the longest absence of any runner here. A horse returning from over a year off needs to be taken on trust, and that last run was a distant 10th. If fitness is there, the ground profile is the most relevant in the field; if not, she faces a steep task on comeback day.

Five races, no wins, no placed finishes, and a pulled-up run sandwiched between beatings of 83 and 35 lengths — Lost Features has yet to show anything that suggests a competitive run is coming. She is one of the least experienced in the field, but experience alone does not explain those margins. At 34.0, the market has assessed her honestly.

Twenty-six races and not a single win — Teagarden Jazz is the most winless horse in a field full of horses that struggle to win. She pulled up last time out at Thurles, and her two runs before that saw her finish 13th and 8th by wide margins. This is also the first time jockey Michael Kenneally has ridden her, which adds another layer of uncertainty to a horse already hard to recommend.
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.
