11-4
13/2 11/2 13/2
Held well beaten on hurdle debut at Ballinrobe, he makes more appeal here with scope to progress for a top yard; whether he can do so promptly after that uninspiring introduction is the key question.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 146 and 6/1 odds offer mid-tier appeal, but form figure of 8 limits confidence.

Second beaten 5 lengths at Cork on his latest outing, he has shown consistent form at 2m-3m on soft and good ground; first-time blinkers add an extra angle and the consistent placing record makes him the clear standard-setter.
AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 123 and consistent form (4220-2) justify 4/5 stars despite not heading the market at 5/4.

Fourth beaten 18 lengths at Punchestown when stepped up to 3m, he shaped as though finding that longer trip to his liking and handles today's going; some further progression is needed to get fully involved.
AI verdict

Form figures of 7-4 and 12/1 odds suggest mid-tier potential, with a 140 Saturday Rating supporting modest but not standout claims.

80/1 66/1 80/1
Last seen being pulled up at Punchestown, he faces a stiff task as the lowest-rated runner in this field and a substantial step forward is required; first-time cheekpieces are fitted, which at least provides a small change of gear.
AI verdict

Massive 66/1 outsider carrying 11-4 with a pulled-up form figure and a Saturday Rating of 120 signals minimal winning prospects.

80/1 66/1 80/1
Effective at 3m in points and has landed a win in that sphere, he comes here needing to bounce back from pulling up most recently; first-time cheekpieces are applied under rules and there is enough to work with if he responds.
AI verdict

Outsider odds of 80/1 and inconsistent form showing a fall and a pull-up justify the low 2/5 rating.

66/1 50/1 66/1
His most recent hurdles start at Sligo left plenty to be desired, though he brings a win from his point career at 3m; the challenge now is translating that ability to hurdling, where he has so far struggled to show his best.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 123 is undermined by erratic form (P1-580) and dismissive 50/1 odds from the market.

13/8 5/4 3/2
Second beaten 6 lengths on debut at Ballinrobe, he handles 2m6f on good ground and looks set to improve on that initial effort; rated second here, the one concern is the trainer's very quiet recent spell.
AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 154 and competitive 11/8 odds support Young Doran's consistent placed form at 11-4.

Well beaten on both her recent bumper appearances, she now makes the switch to hurdling with first-time tongue-tie applied, suggesting connections see room for improvement; that bumper form leaves her something to prove, but the discipline change could work in her favour.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 127 shows ability, but 150/1 odds and weak 8-0 form signal market dismissal.

Little to recommend her on two recent starts, both ended without completion, she has yet to show any discernible ability and arrives from a short break looking a difficult proposition to side with.
AI verdict

Long odds of 33/1, a poor form record of P/P, and a Saturday Rating of 121 signal limited winning prospects here.

Prone to errors on hurdle debut at Clonmel where he was well beaten, this gelding is likely to need more time to develop; returning only a day later compounds the challenge and he makes limited appeal.
AI verdict

Odds of 150/1 and poor form of P70 reflect minimal market confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 126.

Third in a mares point most recently, she handles 3m well enough but her form figures offer no standout effort and more improvement is required if she is to trouble the principals here.
AI verdict

Moderate 149 Saturday Rating, 10/1 odds, and inconsistent 46/23- form justify a mid-tier 3-star rating.

A pulled-up effort in a maiden point at Toomebridge on her most recent start, she now makes the transition to hurdling for the first time; there is some point form at 3m to call on, but much improvement is still needed under rules.
AI verdict

Outsider odds of 28/1 and poor form figures of 52P- severely limit Pacy Macie's prospects despite a 126 Saturday Rating.

Well held in a mares hurdle at Kilbeggan on her most recent start, she handles today's going and has form at 2m; inconsistency has been a hallmark, however, and her varied record leaves her difficult to rely on.
AI verdict

Long odds of 33/1, a low Saturday Rating of 57, and poor form figures of 83P-75 offer little confidence in Talas Kera's chances.

Beaten well down the field at Punchestown most recently, racing without threatening from behind the leaders throughout, her three recent runs have all ended in unplaced finishes and she makes limited appeal here.
AI verdict

Outsider odds of 150/1 and a winless form figure of 00-0 undermine Vangaway's 126 Saturday Rating.

Young Doran
Confidence: Medium

Young Doran (SR 154, 11/8) is the second-highest-rated horse in the field and carries the joint-top weight of 11-4, but that weight is justified by his SR advantage over most rivals. His single hurdles run produced a second-place finish, showing immediate aptitude for the discipline, and P J Rothwell's yard has placed him here with clear confidence reflected in the 11/8 market price — second-shortest in the field. The 3m100y trip on Good ground suits a 5-year-old with raw ability, and his SR of 154 gives him a meaningful edge over every runner bar Benner Wenner. The market is marginally more confident in Doctor Elvis, but Doctor Elvis's SR of only 123 and a form string peaking with a second in moderate company makes that price puzzling and the SR gap of 31 points over Young Doran is too large to ignore. Each-way alternative: Mayo Shirocco. Main danger: Benner Wenner — Benner Wenner holds the highest SR in the field at 146 for trainer Henry De Bromhead — a yard that regularly produces well-handicapped debut runners — and while his only form figure is an '8', that unknown-quantity factor combined with De Bromhead's class could see him outrun his 6/1 price if he brings ability from the flat or point-to-point sphere.
