TrackLab Insight
The form horse here — six races unbeaten in the top four, with two second-place finishes suggesting a first win is overdue. He's never run on soft ground, which is a genuine unknown, but his rating sits above the field average and the market still backs him at 3.5 despite the drifting odds from his opening 1.1. Mid-draw works against him slightly at Bellewstown, but consistency like this is rare in a field of maidens.

TrackLab Insight
The second-best form on offer — a 2nd place at Bellewstown just 54 days ago, beaten by less than a length, and she knows this track. Only two races makes her lightly raced, but that near-miss was genuine and the trainer-jockey combo (same person) boasts 85 wins from 876 races together, suggesting a yard with real know-how. Soft ground is untested, but her odds of 3.6 reflect realistic winning chances.

TrackLab Insight
Only two races but the form reads better than the record suggests — 6th then 5th, gradually improving and beaten just 3.5 lengths most recently at Sligo. She's the only runner here who has never raced on soft ground and actually looks competitive in maiden form; the draw in three is neutral and the trainer-jockey combo has delivered winners. At 6.6 odds, she's a reasonable outsider if the track doesn't prove a hurdle.

TrackLab Insight
Four races, one place, and the most recent effort was a 7th at Cork just 11 days ago — not the form of a horse about to break through. She's drawn in stall one, which is ideal for the track's low bias, but she's also never encountered soft ground and her rating sits only one pound above the field average. The lack of experience on the surface here is a real concern.

TrackLab Insight
Just one race under his belt — an 11th-place finish at Curragh nine days ago — making him the least experienced runner here by a significant margin. He's drawn in a low stall that suits the track, but a debut that far off the pace, combined with an untested trainer-jockey combination and zero soft ground experience, suggests he's still learning to race. At 9.0 odds, the market has already moved away from him.

4.2
Wearing tongue strap Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Six races with just two places and a deteriorating trend — her last three finishes are 10th, 6th, and 8th, moving in the wrong direction. She's rated four pounds below the field average and tackling soft ground for the first time, while teaming up with a jockey for the first time here. The draw in five is neutral, but form and trajectory both point away from her.

Wearing tongue strap Quick turnaround Won 0 of last 5
TrackLab Insight
Running just two days after her last outing at Naas (result unknown) and third race in under two weeks — she's getting turned around far too quickly for a raw two-year-old still searching for form. Two races without a place, plus a 12th at Dundalk before that, suggests she's nowhere near ready to win, and the tight turnaround is a red flag for fatigue. At 126.0 odds, she's a betting cipher.

TrackLab Insight
Only two career races and two sizeable beatings — 13th at Roscommon and 11th at Fairyhouse — with a two-month absence since her last outing. She's the longest odds in the field at 80.0 for good reason: minimal data, poor previous efforts, and an untested surface make her a genuine outsider. Youth is a mitigating factor, but she has serious ground to make up.

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.
