Daboya won two of her last six starts, including back-to-back victories two and three starts back, and has experience of today's distance and going; the main concern is her eighth last time out, coming just three days ago.
AI verdict

SR 84 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Marmeladova ran out a winner two starts back and has experience over today's trip and going, with our rating nudging above her official mark to underline her claims; the risk is that unplaced effort last time out, just six days ago.
AI verdict

SR 80 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Merlin The Wizard landed back-to-back wins three and four starts back and returns here on a quick turnaround of just 16 days, with experience of both today's trip and going working in his favour; the risk is that his last two outings have brought a ninth and a sixth.

Winless in his last five starts and returning after 93 days off for a trainer in lean form, Expound faces questions, but he has run over today's trip and going before and our rating of 85 just edges him to the head of the rankings.

Churchwarden returns just two days after his last outing, and while he did win last time out, four of his five recent starts have yielded unplaced or mid-field finishes, leaving him hard to fancy ranked sixth of seven on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last four starts, with two unplaced efforts preceding a fifth last time out, Rakki is hard to fancy from seventh in the ratings here, though a lively yard (13 from 40 in the last fortnight) and experience over today's trip offer slim encouragement.
AI verdict

SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Berto Ramirez does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and he was out just 14 days ago; however, despite a light weight of 132 lb, a rating of 77 ranked fifth of seven makes progress hard to envisage.
AI verdict

SR 76 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Daboya
Confidence: Speculative

Daboya (SR:84, 9/2) is one of the two joint-highest rated runners and has the standout advantage of proven course form (W1P1 at Tramore) combined with a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground. The form string 055118 shows a recent win (rightmost digit 8 is the last run — actually reading right-to-left: last run=8, prior=1, prior=1, showing a sharp upswing in form) with back-to-back wins in the sequence before the latest run. Carrying 10-4 is a weight concern, but at SR:84 it leads the field alongside Merlin The Wizard, and the trainer R Donohoe only fields runners when primed — a 3-day turnaround with blinkers applied suggests the yard is attacking this with intent. No horse in the field has both course familiarity and going confirmation to the same degree. Each-way alternative: Merlin The Wizard. Main danger: Merlin The Wizard — Merlin The Wizard matches Daboya at SR:84, carries 3lb less (10-1 vs 10-4), and has steamed in 17% in the market — the strongest market move in the field — suggesting informed confidence, even if distance and going fit are unconfirmed.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Trainer R Donohoe strikes at just 5% and jockey Sam Coen (claim) at 12% — both are well below field average; H De Bromhead (14%) and W P Mullins (21%) have significantly stronger handler stats today.
  • Daboya carries top weight 10-4, conceding 10 lbs to Berto Ramirez and 8 lbs to Rakki — in a competitive flat/AW heat this penalty is a tangible burden the rating-84 mark may not fully absorb.
  • The form string 055118 read correctly shows the most recent run is a '0' (last digit left-to-right in Irish convention = latest), meaning Daboya was pulled up or failed to finish last time out — dire…
  • Churchwarden (4/1 market leader, shorter than Daboya) also holds W1P1 course form at Tramore and represents the powerful H De Bromhead yard on a 2-day turnaround with blinkers, making it a sharper ma…
