Wexford

Faerie Tales is among the fancied runners at 9.0 odds and has managed one placed finish from five races, most recently running third at Tramore just 15 days ago — that's the freshest form in the field. However, her last four races show a pattern of struggle: three unplaced finishes and one place, which suggests she's still searching for the winning formula.

Another racecourse debutant, Down After Dark is bred by Wings Of Eagles and carries pedigree that suggests racing ability, but we have no track record to rely on yet. Wearing a hood suggests he may need equipment to help him settle, which is common for debut runners unfamiliar with the noise and pace of racing.

Gunny Hill is making his debut under P J Rothwell, a trainer with a solid record from 46 runs with this jockey (four wins). The sire Mores Wells and dam line suggest some racing ability, but like all debutants here, he's an unknown quantity until he steps onto the track.

Making his racecourse debut with zero form to judge, Don't Tell Paddy arrives as a complete unknown — at four years old, that's a late start to racing, which could mean the horse has been kept for other purposes or brought along very slowly. The trainer-jockey combination has won twice from 18 races together, so there's some form in the team.
