TrackLab Insight
The market favourite and the editorial selection, preferred for her progressive profile even though she sits third on the figures behind Valiant Force and Howd'yadoit. She wins roughly 1 in 4 races and, at just three years old, is still developing. Her last run was a sixth at Ascot, so she needs to bounce back, but the market clearly believes she can.
Market favourite (3.5)
TrackLab Insight
The second-highest rated horse in the race and he ran well last time out, finishing second at Navan just 35 days ago, beaten less than a length. At eight years old with 28 races under his belt, he knows his job, but he has never won at Dundalk in two visits here and that's a concern.
2nd highest rated (OR 99)
Trainer Quotes
Sep 2024
"He'll probably come back for the Bold Lad Sprint Handicap on Sunday week at the Curragh. He hasn't run since May as he came out of Naas a bit jarred, which was unusual and disappointing. He's had his break since and is fresh and well. He looks to be fully himself. It's his first run back but he normally runs well fresh. We were going to run him this weekend at Navan but we decided we'd go straight for the Curragh. 11-09-24"
TrackLab Insight
She has the best win rate in the field — winning roughly 1 in every 4 races — and arrives here just ten days after winning at Bellewstown, which is the freshest winning form in the race. Her record specifically at this 5f trip is also strong, with two wins from four races at this distance. She looks interesting at a bigger price than the favourite.
Best record at this trip (2 from 4)
Best career win rate in field (1 in 4)
TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by 5lbs and the ultimate Dundalk specialist — he has won 5 of his 10 races here, which is a remarkable record at one track. The problem is his last three runs have been dreadful, finishing 9th, 9th, and 13th, all beaten by wide margins. Those odds drifting out sharply suggest punters have noticed.

Course specialist (5 wins from 10 here)
TrackLab Insight
Joint-highest on the figures alongside Valiant Force and represents one of the biggest dangers to the favourite according to the editorial verdict. He wins roughly 1 in 4 races and finished fourth at Naas just eight days ago, so he arrives in decent recent form. At only three years old, there may still be improvement to come.
Mid-range in the market (9.6)
TrackLab Insight
Arguably the most compelling course record in the entire field — she has won 4 of her 7 races at Dundalk and also has her best ground record here on this surface. The concern is her last three runs have been poor, finishing 16th, 7th, and 15th, all beaten by large margins away from Dundalk. If she bounces back to her best on this track, she is dangerous.

TrackLab Insight
With 67 career races, he is by far the most experienced horse in a field that averages just 22 races per runner. He has five wins from 35 races at Dundalk so he knows the track well, and he finished second here just 47 days ago. However, he is rated 10lbs below the field average and has a modest win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races.
Most experienced (67 runs, field avg 22)
TrackLab Insight
He has won two Class 1 races in Britain, which is a higher level than anything else in this field has achieved, so the quality is clearly there. The data shows he has never won on the type of surface used at Dundalk, though, and his last run — 11th at the Curragh — was uninspiring. A horse with a big question mark over whether he can transfer that form here.
One of the more successful in the field (4 career wins)
TrackLab Insight
She carries the lowest weight in the field and her last three completed runs were all at Dundalk — a win and two seconds — which is an eye-catching local record. The big concern is that she has not raced for over 200 days, the longest absence in the entire field, and returning from that kind of break is always a risk. If she is fully fit, she could surprise.
Carries lowest weight in field
Absent 212 days (longest in field)
TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field, sitting 10lbs below the average rating, which makes him a tough sell in a race this competitive. His last run was a distant ninth at the Curragh, and he has only won once from ten career races. The data is thin on reasons to be optimistic here.
Lowest rated, 10lbs below average

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.
