TrackLab Insight
The second-favourite in the market and the horse most punters seem to think can win this, despite only one race to its name — a fifth-place finish at Roscommon. That single run puts it ahead of the six first-timers in this field, and it's backed by one of the most powerful jockey-trainer partnerships in Irish racing, with over 225 wins together. The big drawback is stall 11, sitting in the part of the track where low draws have a clear advantage.

TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite and the most accomplished horse in this field — three races in with two runner-up finishes, including one at this very track just 28 days ago where she was beaten by a whisker. She's raced more than anyone else here and has shown consistent form, which stands out sharply against a field packed with first-timers and horses yet to place. The only concern is the draw: stall 9 sits in the mid-range where results at Leopardstown are noticeably weaker than the low draws.

TrackLab Insight
The best form figure among any horse in this race with previous runs — a fourth-place finish at Roscommon 16 days ago, which is a better debut result than anything her rivals managed. Drawn in stall 6, nicely positioned in the favourable low-draw zone, and trained by a yard that wins roughly 1 in 9 races it enters. She's the joint-market second choice and looks like a genuine contender on the back of that encouraging first run.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
Listed as a debut runner in the data but carries a form figure of 6, suggesting one previous outing where it finished sixth. That one run places it among the more experienced horses in a field full of first-timers, though sixth place isn't much to build on. Trained by Noel Meade — a yard with a solid record — and ridden by Colin Keane, who is one of the most respected jockeys in Ireland.

TrackLab Insight
One race at this very course 28 days ago, finishing seventh — so it already has Leopardstown experience that most of its rivals lack. Trained by Donnacha Aidan O'Brien, the same powerful yard as Razmataz, and drawn in the low-numbered stalls (4) which is an advantage here. The form from that debut wasn't flashy, but returning to a track it already knows could help.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
A debut runner with no form to assess, though the draw in stall 7 is the best placed of all the first-time runners — right at the edge of the low-draw zone that dominates results at this course and distance. The jockey and trainer have never worked together before, which adds another layer of uncertainty. Bred for speed by Cotai Glory, but whether that translates over seven furlongs on a racecourse is the unanswered question.

TrackLab Insight
Finished seventh at this very track 35 days ago — beaten nearly 14 lengths — so she returns to Leopardstown with experience here but without a performance to inspire confidence. The one genuine plus is the draw: stall 1 is about as good as it gets at this course, right where the low-draw advantage is strongest. The jockey-trainer combination has won just twice from 36 races together, which is a slim record.

TrackLab Insight
One race in, finishing seventh and beaten nearly 12 lengths at the Curragh — not a debut to shout about, but one run tells you very little about a young horse. The best thing going for Old Joanie today is the draw: stall 2 is right in the low-draw zone that wins the most races at this course and distance. It's a new jockey-trainer combination today, which offers no track record to lean on.

TrackLab Insight
Making its racecourse debut today, so there is genuinely nothing in the form book to work with — no runs, no times, no clues. Shares a trainer with Mirren (stall 5) and has a mid-draw in stall 8, which statistically is less favourable than the low draws at this course. A complete unknown, and the odds of 41-1 suggest the betting market isn't expecting much.

TrackLab Insight
Finished seventh on her only outing at the Curragh 43 days ago — the longest gap since racing of any horse in this field — beaten nearly 10 lengths. A low draw in stall 3 is a small positive at this course, but the trainer and jockey have yet to win a race together from five attempts. Hard to find a strong angle here beyond the fact that a rest can sometimes help a young horse improve.

First run (debut)
TrackLab Insight
Another first-time runner with no form to assess, bred from two speed-focused bloodlines in Cotai Glory and Acclamation — which sounds exciting, but seven furlongs is a step beyond the very short distances those relatives excelled at. Drawn in stall 10, which sits in the statistically weaker middle section of the draw at Leopardstown. The trainer and jockey have worked together only 23 times, winning 3 of them.

TrackLab Insight
A complete unknown making its racecourse debut, but it does hold one advantage over most of its rivals — a low draw in stall 5, which is right in the sweet spot at this course and distance. Trained by the same yard as Williamsburg, though the jockey-trainer combination here has won just once from 28 races together, which is a thin record. Everything depends on what this horse has shown at home.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in this field with two races under its belt, but the form from those outings makes grim reading — eighth and fifteenth, beaten nearly 10 and 14 lengths respectively. Drawn in stall 13, which is on the wrong side of a course that heavily favours low-drawn runners. Hard to make a case for improvement here based on what we've seen.

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.
