The top-rated horse in this field by some margin — 14 points clear of the average — and the market favourite, trained by Willie Mullins with Paul Townend in the saddle, one of the most successful jockey-trainer combinations in the sport. She won a top-level race at Aintree earlier this year and backed that up with a win at Listowel 47 days ago, giving her solid recent form to point to. The concern is that she has failed to win in three races on yielding ground, which is worth keeping in mind depending on conditions.

"She came of age when winning the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree. That was her best performance last season, although she also ran well back at Punchestown. The Mares' Hurdle will be her aim as I don't think she has the size for fences. 17-11-25"

TrackLab Insight
The most lightly raced horse in this field by a clear margin — just 3 races to her name — which means there's genuine uncertainty about how good she could be. Her form figures since that opening win include a sixth at Cheltenham and a fourth at Punchestown, showing she's been tested at decent level. With so little data to go on, she's a bigger unknown than most of her rivals, which cuts both ways.

TrackLab Insight
The standout course credential here — she's the only horse in this field to have won at Killarney, and she's done it over this exact distance, which is a significant advantage in a race where few have course experience. The most experienced runner in the field with 19 races, she's shown she can handle this track and trip better than anyone else lining up today. However, her record on soft or normal ground is poor — no wins from four races in each — so conditions could undermine what looks like a course-and-distance edge.

Trainer Quotes

"She's been busy enough and could be due a break after having a good summer. We entered her for a handicap chase at Ascot in a couple of weeks, so she could go there, but we'll see. She likes good ground. 11-11-25"
The freshest horse in the field, having won at Bellewstown just 12 days ago — that's a quick turnaround, but she arrives in form. She's the lowest-rated runner in the field and steps up significantly in class against more experienced rivals here. On the evidence available, she's been most effective on normal ground, winning 1 from 4 in those conditions.

TrackLab Insight
One of the more decorated horses in this field with 2 wins and 7 places from 12 races, showing a knack for hitting the frame even when not winning. Her big edge is on wet ground — she's won 2 from 4 races in those conditions, which is a strong record — so ground conditions here could matter a lot. Odds have drifted sharply from a much shorter price, suggesting confidence in her chances has slipped since markets opened.
One of the more successful in the field (2 career wins)
Her career win rate of 1 in every 4 races is the best in this field, but recent results tell a different story — she was beaten more than 15 lengths at Listowel 47 days ago and finished ninth in a top-level race at Cheltenham before that. She has yet to win on normal ground in four attempts, which is a real flag given today's conditions. There's a gap between her overall record and what she's shown lately.

TrackLab Insight
The longest odds in the field at 126-1, and the data does little to argue against that price — no wins from 8 races, just one placed finish, and three consecutive runs finishing eighth or worse by wide margins. She's also been off the track for 189 days, the longest absence of any runner here. On the figures available, she has a great deal to prove against this company.
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.
