What the money's doing in this race — biggest price movements across the bookmakers since the last odds sync.
Clay Pigeons (SR:155, 6/4) sits 8 SR points clear of the next-best Minella Hollow (SR:147) and is trained by W P Mullins, whose 21% strike rate from 1,255 runners is the strongest yard in the field by a considerable margin. The market has shortened 12% since opening — meaningful support in a 19-runner maiden — which corroborates the form case. Carrying 11-12 alongside Minella Hollow, the weight is level at the top, but the SR gap combined with the Mullins/Hayes booking makes this a very clear standout. The form string 11/12- shows a consistent winning profile across hurdles, and despite 198 days off the track, a Mullins return from a break with market support is a classic positive signal. Each-way alternative: Minella Hollow. Main danger: Minella Hollow — Minella Hollow (SR:147, 7/2) is the only other runner with a genuinely competitive SR and a four-star probability rating, and at level weights with Clay Pigeons the 8-point SR gap is not insurmountable if the Mullins runner is ring-rusty after 198 days off.
