Perfect record of three wins from three races makes this the standout favourite, and Ryan Moore in the saddle adds serious class to an already compelling profile. At just two years old and unbeaten, Great Barrier Reef is the horse to beat here—though the short odds of 1.83 suggest the market has done its homework.

Highest-rated runner by the editorial verdict with a best career win rate of 33% (two from six), but she's failed to win in her last three races and has a poor record on good-to-firm ground—a potential concern if conditions firm up. Her narrow defeats at Curragh and Ascot in recent weeks suggest she's thereabouts, but she hasn't quite got the job done when it matters most.

TrackLab Insight
Two wins from four races on normal ground—the only horse in this field with a proven record on today's conditions—and she's strung together three straight top-three finishes including a recent win at Naas. Her 6.2 odds look fair for a filly who arrives here in hot form and genuinely suits the going.

One race, one win—but that's all the data there is, and crucially he's never encountered normal ground before, making this a genuine unknown. With odds drifting to 12.0 and limited racing experience, he's an unproven commodity stepping up significantly in class.

Has won once but recently finished 5th and 4th in his last two races, suggesting he's struggling to find form at this level. His only victory came at the Curragh back in March, but the recent trend is downward—he's rated well below the top contenders here.
Two wins from four races and actively campaigned make this a genuinely progressive horse, but the last two outings show he's been badly beaten by better company. His 50% win rate is respectable, but the recent 12th-place finish at Ascot raises questions about his ability at the sharp end of Group racing.

TrackLab Insight
This filly is the lowest-rated runner in the field and has won just once in four races, with her most recent run a 6th-place finish at Cork. At 50.0 odds, she's a clear outsider with limited evidence to suggest she can trouble the favourites 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.
