He landed a handicap here last time over fourteen furlongs, finishing with a good late burst to take the race by one and a half lengths off a lower mark. Effective at twelve to fourteen furlongs with give, the step back up to two miles is appealing and he is respected in this company.
AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 96 and improved form figures 706-31 are offset by a testing 10-2 weight at 11/2.

25/1 14/1 22/1
Runner-up in a Group 3 at this course most recently after a 236-day break, a fine effort from a horse effective up to two miles two furlongs on heavy and good. He needs to build on that return after a long absence and wears a first-time hood and tongue-tie; a genuine contender if he settles well.
AI verdict

Rated just 71 with outdated form (3/902-), carrying top weight of 9-13 at 20/1 signals minimal winning prospects.

Fourth on his reappearance at this course, his best work came late and a first-time headgear combination is applied. Effective at twelve to fourteen furlongs on a sound surface, his maiden form has been franked at high level and he is capable of better — the reappearance run suggests he is ready to progress.
AI verdict

Rated 98 with solid 2315-4 form, Delta's 9-6 weight and 11/4 odds suggest fair market respect but not enough to dominate.

Third at this course last time in a competitive handicap over fourteen furlongs, finishing with late momentum. The step up to two miles is a positive and he acts on a sound surface; a first-time tongue-tie is added. He can build on his placed effort and is a genuine danger.
AI verdict

Kilmeaden's mid-range Saturday Rating of 90 and inconsistent form (102-73) at 9-5 weight justify a cautious 3/5 at 11/2.

22/1 20/1 22/1
Unplaced last time at this course over a shorter trip and well beaten, the step back up in distance is a clear plus and he is effective up to eighteen furlongs on a sound surface. A first-time headgear change; he has won before and can show more over a distance that brings out his strengths.
AI verdict

20/1 odds, poor recent form (0915-0), and a Saturday Rating of 78 make Reverend Hubert a weak 1/5 contender.

4/1 FCST 7/2
Our top-rated runner in the field and without a win in his last five starts, he has shown some promise on his reappearance here held comfortably but not disgraced. Effective at fourteen to sixteen furlongs on a sound surface, the stable has landed this race before and there is potential for a better run here.
AI verdict

Rated 82 with solid 4/1 market support, but inconsistent form of 2030-6 and 9-2 weight limit mid-tier appeal.

He ran to form last time down in trip at this course, beaten six lengths. He acts at ten to seventeen furlongs on soft, good and all-weather with first-time cheekpieces added; the yard has form in this race but he needs to find more to get involved.
AI verdict

Rated just 75 with poor form figures of 0/84-6 and drifting at 12/1, Highwind lacks market confidence.

He landed a staying race over two miles at Listowel last time in his best Flat form, consistent across both codes and acts at twelve furlongs to two miles on soft and good. Trainer in form and racing on handicap debut here; a genuine each-way candidate with the right profile for this test.
AI verdict

Solid form figures of 3-321 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 90 justify mid-tier appeal, but 8-11 weight and 5/1 odds suggest the market sees limitations.

Out of form at this course last time and in need of a bounce-back, he has a win on his record and acts at twelve to fourteen furlongs on soft and good. A first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces; if the gear change galvanises him he can be competitive, but the recent Curragh effort needs reversing.
AI verdict

Robbies Rock rates poorly with a low Saturday Rating of 62, weak 421-80 form including two poor recent runs, and dismissed by the market at 28/1.

He did too much too soon in a chase at Ballinrobe most recently and needs more back on the Flat. He is effective at two miles on a sound surface and has won before; but the recent jumps form is an uncertain guide to his Flat potential and he needs to show more here.
AI verdict

Outsider odds of 18/1, poor recent form of 1/389-, and a Saturday Rating of just 70 suggest limited winning prospects.

Well beaten in a hurdle most recently where he raced lazily and was out of his depth, returning off a break and effective at twelve to sixteen furlongs on a sound surface. At best he could pick up a minor placing but recent form has not been encouraging.
AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 73, weak form figures of 02629-, and 14/1 odds confirm minimal market confidence.

Below form at Toulouse most recently, well beaten in a handicap after returning from a long layoff. He has been effective at twelve to fourteen furlongs with cut in France but this is his Irish debut and he is an unknown quantity over here. First-time cheekpieces; best watched initially.
AI verdict

Outsider odds of 66/1, poor recent form of 66388-, and a low Saturday Rating of 57 signal minimal winning prospects.

Out of form at Fairyhouse last time, beaten nine lengths at ten to twelve furlongs; he needs a bounce-back and acts on a sound surface. The first-time blinkers could be the hook but recent outings have not encouraged confidence.
AI verdict

Carthusian's 40/1 odds, poor 56-707 form, and low Saturday Rating of 54 offer no winning case.

Delta
Confidence: Medium

Delta (SR 98, 11/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field and carries just 9-6, a 10lb weight relief on top-weight Poetic Sound (SR 96, 10-2), meaning Delta's SR advantage is compounded rather than eroded by the weights. Joseph O'Brien's 4yo has a consistent recent form line of 2315-4, showing frequent visits to the frame at this sort of level, and the Good ground at the Curragh is exactly what a lightly-weighted, improving 4yo wants over 2m. At 11/4 the market is rightly confident — this looks the standout combination of SR leadership, weight relief, age profile, and market support. Each-way alternative: Ballyadam. Main danger: Poetic Sound — Poetic Sound (SR 96, 11/2) showed a sharp return to form with a recent '31' sequence under G M Lyons and, while carrying a hefty 10-2, that form line suggests a horse peaking at exactly the right time and capable of giving the favourite a real race.
