The market favourite for good reason: in just four races, this six-year-old has won twice and placed three times — a 50% win rate that stands miles clear of every rival here. Only 1.8L behind at Wexford 39 days ago, Nadia's Boy looks built for this distance and track, backed by the strongest jockey-trainer partnership in the field.

"A nice prospect who won very well at Listowel. He's had a small setback, nothing major and you might see him back in the spring. 17-11-25"

Top-rated by 8lbs on official figures, William Tell was only beaten 1.2L at Wexford 39 days ago — yet he unseated just 17 days later at the same track. A 22% win rate shows ability, but recent falls and an 11-day layoff after finishing fifth at Galway suggest he may not be at his best right now.

The second-highest rated horse and coming off a close second at Kilbeggan, Scalpnagoon has shown consistent placing form (8 places in 14 races). However, he has zero wins on yielding ground and struggles on right-hand tracks — both potential concerns given Wexford's setup and normal going conditions.

"He won two hurdles last season. He's a big horse and I reckon chasing will bring out more improvement in him. He'll be seen in a beginners' chase soon enough. 26-10-25"

The most experienced runner with 23 races under his belt, West Away has just 2 wins (9% win rate) and has failed to place in any of his last four attempts on soft or yielding ground. At 8 years old with limited recent form, he looks vulnerable in a competitive field.
A mare returning from a 513-day absence with just one career race to her name (a seventh-place finish), Kelya introduces genuine uncertainty into this race. With no experience on normal ground and no wins in the bank, she represents the real unknown quantity in a field that lacks confidence overall.

The only horse in the field with a proven win at this 2m 3f distance, Jackson Lamb also boasts the best record on normal ground (3 from 9 races). A solid 23% win rate and a strong partnership with jockey Alex Harvey make him a genuine alternative to the favourite, though a pulled-up run at Kilbeggan 69 days ago raises slight questions.

Three races, zero wins, and two falls — this is an unrated horse still finding his feet at this level. Back at Wexford after a fall 93 days ago, Begger has drifted from 1.1 to 201.0 in the betting, which tells you the market has little faith in his prospects here.
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.
