The top-rated horse in the field by 8 pounds and the clear market favourite — and the form backs up that status. Salsinha has finished in the top four in every single one of her five races, winning one and placing three times, giving her the best win rate in the field at roughly one in five. Second at Punchestown last time out over this same two-mile trip is an ideal prep for today.

"She's a nice filly and looked very impressive when winning her bumper over the summer at Cork. We're looking forward to going hurdling with her in the next few weeks. 11-11-25"
No wins from five races, but the big story here is that Paul Townend — one of the best jump jockeys in the world — has chosen to ride this horse over his yard's other runner Poetisa, who won at Cheltenham. That is a significant statement of intent from the Willie Mullins camp, even if Wonderful Everyday has never raced on normal ground before. The talent is clearly believed to be there; today is about proving it.

"You'd have to be impressed with the speed she showed to win the Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown. She obviously has a real smart turn of foot. She'll go down the mares' novice hurdle route. 17-11-25"
Poetisa won a Class 2 race at Cheltenham in April 2025 — one of the most prestigious tracks in the world — which puts her in a different class to most of her rivals here on paper. The editorial verdict flags that Paul Townend's choice to ride Wonderful Everyday over her is a significant signal worth heeding, however. Last time out she finished seventh, beaten over 34 lengths, so her form needs to bounce back sharply.

This is the only horse in the field with a winning record over today's two-mile trip, which is a genuine plus in a race like this. The problem is that its last two runs have been poor — beaten nearly 28 and 36 lengths — and it has never won on normal ground in eight attempts. The trip suits, but recent form does not.

Placed in both career runs so far — fourth at this very course at Listowel, then third at Limerick — which shows more promise than many in this field. The catch is that today will be the first time this horse races on normal ground, so there is a small unknown there. Returning after five months off, but the course form at Listowel is a genuine tick.

TrackLab Insight
Seven races, no wins, but five place finishes — this horse keeps finishing close without ever finding the extra gear to win. Last ran 186 days ago, so there is a fitness question after a long break, and seventh at Killarney last time was a well-beaten effort. The cheekpieces are a small tweak that sometimes sharpen a horse's focus.
Finally got off the mark at Wexford after seven attempts, which is welcome, but the run before that was an 11th-place finish beaten over 80 lengths at Killarney — a big step back from that winning effort. The win came on normal-type conditions where this horse has a decent record, but current form is patchy. Hard to trust.

Making a first-ever appearance on a racecourse, so there is absolutely no form to judge this horse on. Debut runners are pure unknowns — occasionally one steps out and turns heads, but there is no evidence either way here. Bred from Robin Of Navan and a Vision D'Etat mare, which at least offers some background.
A four-year-old making her very first racecourse appearance, which means there is no form at all to work with. She is also the youngest horse in the field and is carrying less weight than the others as a result. Bred from Success Days and a Shantou mare — the debut is all we have to go on.
Two races, two seventh-place finishes, both beaten over 50 lengths — it has been a tough introduction to racing so far. Two runs is a small sample and horses do improve, but there is nothing in the form yet to suggest a big run is coming. One of the outsiders for good reason.
Just one race to its name, and that ended in a fall — so there is almost nothing to go on here. This is one of the least experienced horses in the field, and what little we know is not encouraging. An open mind is the only sensible approach.
Eighteen races without a win makes this one of the most experienced horses in the field, but also one of the least likely to break through today. Racing again after just six days, and beaten over 50 lengths last time out at Sligo, the recent form is poor. The six places from those 18 races show this horse competes — it just never quite gets there.
The longest absence in the field — this horse has not raced in over 455 days, which is a serious question mark. Two previous runs produced a 16th and a 12th, both very distant, so there is no encouraging form to build on either. Tough to make a case for on the available evidence.
Lightly raced (2 career races)Absent 455 days (longest in field)
The most experienced horse in the field by some distance — 22 races compared to a field average of 7 — but recent form is a string of distant finishes, with nothing better than eighth in the last six runs. Both career wins came at Gowran Park on different ground conditions to today, and this horse has never won on normal ground in five attempts. Experience counts for little when the form has dried up this badly.

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.
