Market favourite at 3.75 trained by one of the game's elite in Henry De Bromhead, and his only placing came as a third just 35 days ago at this very track. However, he's still winless from four races and can't seem to close the gap—that third-place finish was 13.5 lengths back, not a near-miss.
Rated 2nd-highest in the field (OR 102) and trained by Gordon Elliott—one of the most successful yards in the country—but the damning stat is plain: 11 races, no wins. Recent consistency in placing (4th place just 15 days ago) counts for something, but this horse has had plenty of opportunities and hasn't delivered yet.

TrackLab Insight
Best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 7, but his last two races tell a concerning story: beaten 15.5 lengths at the Curragh and an unseated rider at Tramore suggest he's struggling for form. A 42-day break and a poor record on soft ground also count against him, especially with no guarantee the going will suit.
Only three career races but showed genuine promise with a second-place finish just 26 days ago at Sligo—a rare positive in a field of mostly unproven runners. Still winless and lightly raced enough that improvement is plausible, though the inconsistency (2nd, 12th, 7th) suggests he hasn't yet found his true level.
Returning from a 5-month break after just two career races with no wins or places—and notably, she's never raced on normal ground before, making this race a complete unknown. The 4th and 12th finishes last year offer little encouragement, and 175 days out is a long lay-off for a mare with such limited experience.
Never raced on normal groundLightly raced (2 career races)
Youngest runner in the field at 4 years old and rated highest at OR 104, but a 7% win rate from 14 races tells the real story: he's underperformed since his breakthrough win 12 months ago. Better-suited to 1m1f–1m2f distances than the 2m 1f here, and his struggles on left-handed galloping tracks (0 from 6) could matter at Wexford.
Has been competitive on the Dundalk circuit (3 wins from 31 starts there), but that's cold comfort here at Wexford where he has no record at all. Four months off the track, a 6% overall win rate from 50 races, and a clear dislike of anything faster than standard ground makes this a long shot despite decent recent placings.
One of the more successful in the field (3 career wins)
Three races, three failures to place—most recently seventh at this track just 15 days ago. Still searching for his first win as a 5-year-old, and his recent form of 7-4-8 shows no clear upward trajectory. The jockey-trainer combo has won races together, but this horse hasn't shown enough yet to suggest he'll break through here.
Another racecourse debutant with no prior form to go on, arriving at 5 years old from a German-sired pedigree known for tough, distance-friendly horses. That breeding angle is interesting for a 2m 1f race, but with zero data and 60-1 odds, the market is making its position clear.
Making his racecourse debut at 5 years old is unusual—most horses race much younger—but it also means there's genuinely no form to assess at all. The jockey-trainer partnership has 6 wins together, so there's some professional backing here, but this is pure speculation at 34-1.

TrackLab Insight
Most experienced horse in the field with 51 races under his belt, but three pulls-up in recent weeks—including two at this course—raise serious questions about soundness. At 8 years old with a 14% win rate, he's proven honest over a long career, but the recent pattern and his complete inability to win on good or firm ground makes him a serious risk on normal conditions at Wexford.
This is a complete long shot: returning from a 7-month absence with just one career race (a tenth-place finish) to his name. At 51-1 odds, the market has given up on him, and his trainer has modest numbers this season—genuinely no data to suggest he'll suddenly find his feet.
Lightly raced (1 career races)Absent 368 days (longest in field)
Just one career race, a tenth-place finish at Downpatrick 54 days ago, and 151-1 odds tell you everything: this 5-year-old debutant was miles away in his only outing. The trainer has strong overall numbers, but there's literally nothing here to suggest a sudden transformation is imminent.
Two races, two failures to place—ninth then eighth—and 126-1 odds reflect the reality: this 5-year-old has shown nothing in either outing. Meeting his jockey for the first time adds another layer of uncertainty to an already unconvincing profile.
Youngest runner in the field at 4 years old with one forgettable outing—an eleventh-place finish 22 days ago—and no form to build on. Trained by P J Rothwell, who has strong overall numbers, but that initial race suggested this horse needs significant time to develop.
Three races, one place, zero wins—and that most recent outing was a heavy 7th place at Ballinrobe just 73 days ago. At 4 years old and 101-1, she's the field's longest shot with nothing in her record to suggest she's close to breaking through.
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.
