TrackLab Insight
The clear market favourite and the form horse in the race — a win at Punchestown followed by a close third just 10 days ago shows a horse in the best form of its life right now. At only five years old, she has the best win rate in the field, winning roughly 1 in every 7 races, and the trainer-jockey partnership has combined for over 160 wins together. The editorial verdict puts this race in her hands, and the data backs that up.

TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in the field by a clear five pounds, and crucially the only course winner here — having won at Listowel before, she knows the track better than any rival. The problem is that a new jockey takes the ride today for the first time, and recent form shows a pulled-up and two finishes outside the top six. The ratings say she belongs, but she needs to rediscover the form that won here.

TrackLab Insight
One win from 17 races, and nothing remotely close to repeating it over the last six runs — finishing 9th, 8th, 14th, 10th, 9th, and 4th in that stretch. The jockey and trainer have never won together in three races as a partnership, and the recent form simply does not give you anything to hold onto. Hard to make a case for this one.

TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by some distance at 21 races, Knockbrack Rambler is also the only runner here who has actually won at this trip of 2m 3f — a meaningful edge in a field short on winners. That said, recent form makes for rough reading, with two pulled-ups and an eighth place in the last three outings, and this horse has never won on today's normal ground conditions despite plenty of chances.

TrackLab Insight
Ten races and no wins, but Uptaurintop has shown some spark recently — placed in two of the last three outings, including a third just 46 days ago beaten less than two lengths, which is the most competitive anyone in this field has looked of late. The worry is a blank record at Limerick across five attempts, and today is a step up in class against a well-fancied rival. Promising flickers, but yet to convert.

TrackLab Insight
Nine years old, seven races, zero wins — and Brave Endeavour has never once raced on normal ground conditions like today, which adds another unknown to an already thin CV. Finished eighth just 11 days ago, beaten over 40 lengths, and the broader recent record shows finishes of 8th, 4th, and 13th. The blinkers are on to try to sharpen things up, but there is little in the data to suggest a breakthrough is coming here.

Wearing tongue strap Fresh (291 days off) Won 0 of last 5 Raced here before
TrackLab Insight
This horse has been off the track for nearly 10 months — the longest absence in the field — and returns without a single top-two finish to its name across seven career races. The jockey and trainer have never won together in eight attempts as a partnership, adding to the concern. Coming back from such a long break with that record makes this one of the hardest horses in the race to back with confidence.

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.
