Donnie Devito arrives with a solid profile: a second and two thirds in his last five starts, plus experience over today's trip and going, and our rating of 123 ranks him third of 18. The main risk is a 50-day absence and a 166 lb burden after finishing fifth last time out.
AI verdict

SR 90 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Fresh from a second last time out just 15 days ago, Milan Forth has also run over today's trip and going before, and he's a solid pick on that profile, though he's yet to win in his last six and shoulders 165 lb here.

Quick back-up after a seventh last time out, Slane Hill has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 127 tops the field of 18, with a 119 official mark to work from. The risk is a winless run in recent starts and 165 lb to carry.
AI verdict

SR 89 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Fourth last time out just 11 days ago keeps Arctic Flame fit, and she has run on today's going before, but a pulled up two starts back and a sixth three starts back temper things. Carrying 161 lb off 115, she looks a solid midfield sort, with our rating of 117 just above her mark.

Killowen House was seventh last time out but has a second two starts back and a third four starts back to lean on, and he has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in his last six, he carries 158 lb off a mark of 112, which looks a stiff task.

Golden Temple has been below his best lately, an eighth last time out and pulled up two starts back, though he did win four starts back and was second three starts back. He has run on today's going and is back after 18 days, but a cold yard (1/31) and 156 lb temper the case.

Howdoyalikeherhome has run over today's trip and on this going, and back-to-back fourths two and three starts back show some ability. However, he was pulled up last time out, is yet to win in his last six, and the yard is out of form at 1/32. Our rating of 116 ranks him sixth of 18.

Getaway Charlie is fit after just 11 days and a winner two starts back, having also run over today's trip and on this going, while our rating of 118 puts him fourth of 18. The risk is his 153 lb burden, with last time's fifth showing he is not firing every time.

Labondance is winless in her last five, with a fourth last time out and another fourth two starts back, yet a fall three starts ago and an eighth five back show the inconsistency. She has run on today's going and is fresh enough after 23 days, but 151 lb off 105 is a big ask, and our rating of 96 ranks her last of 18.

Latopix was a fourth last time out after being pulled up two starts back, and she showed more with seconds three and four starts back, though she's yet to win in her last five. She has run on today's going and returns after 24 days, but 150 lb leaves her plenty to do, with our rating of 106 ranking her 11th of 18.

Ranked 13 of 18 on our figures, Accustomed is hard to fancy after a seventh last time out, and a pulled up and an unplaced run sit in his last five. He did win two starts back, has run over today's trip and going, and 148 lb off an official 102 is no gift.

Lord Ffrench is winless in his last five, with a seventh last time out and a fourth two starts back the best of his recent efforts, though he has run on today's going and returns after just 18 days. Carrying 148 lb off an official mark of 102, he looks held by the weight, though our rating of 108 puts him mid-pack.

Winner last time out, he has run over today's trip and on this going, but that came after a pulled up and a ninth in the two runs before it, and 147 lb is a hefty burden off 40 days away. Our rating of 105 ranks him 12th of 18.

Smackwater Jack won last time out and has twice scored in his last six starts, but two ninth-place finishes before that make him hard to trust, and our rating ranks him only 15th of 18. Back quickly after eight days, he has run over today's trip and going, and 145 lb is a hefty burden.

Live To Laugh bounced back to form with a third last time out, and he has won twice in his last five starts, though a pulled up two starts back is a blot. He has run over today's trip and going, but 140 lb is a hefty burden.

Space Warrior has finished sixth, ninth, ninth, third and sixth in his last five starts, so he is yet to win in that spell and has only the one top-three finish to lean on. He has run on today's going and is fit after 11 days off, but 140 lb is a big ask and our figures rank him 17th of 18.

Live To Laugh
Confidence: Speculative

Live To Laugh (SR 109, 7/2) is the standout ability pick in this field — the highest SR by a clear 8 points over the next best — and carries the joint-lowest weight at 10-0, a significant advantage in a competitive 18-runner handicap hurdle. The market has backed this up emphatically with a 39% inward move, the strongest steam in the field. DistFit:+ confirms this 2m7f trip is proven territory, and the recent form of 311P-3 shows a horse that was winning readily before a pulled-up run (likely excused) and has returned with a placed effort. A mark 10lb below the last win (MarkMv:-10) is the single most favourable handicap position in the race. The one concern is GoingFit:? on this good ground, but the ability edge, weight, and money combine to make the case compelling. Each-way alternative: Accustomed. Main danger: Accustomed — Accustomed (SR 99, 15/2) has steamed 23% in the market, carries a light 10-8, is proven on this going (GoingFit:+) and has placed twice at Punchestown (Course:W0P2), making it the most credible in-form threat to the selection.
