Apple's Of Bresil arrives in cracking form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, with 24 days since that run and experience of today's trip and going. The main risk is his 154 lb burden, with our rating of 125 placing him third of four.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 11-0 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Croke Park is yet to win in his last five, but three thirds in his previous efforts show consistency, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 152 against an official 148, he is the one to beat, though 187 days off is a reservation.

Favourable weight of 11-0 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Third last time out and a second five starts back, Gorgeous Tom has been in the frame without breaking through, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 150 ranks him second of four, but 77 days off and 154 lb are the concerns.

Smallcraftwarning is a leading danger on form, with a second last time out, and wins two and three starts back, three victories in his last six starts, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is the quick turnaround, just four days since his last run, under 154 lb.
AI verdict

SR 88 suggests ability but 50/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Gorgeous Tom
Confidence: Medium

Gorgeous Tom (SR:149, 4/6) is the class leader in this small field and has proven course form (W1P1 at Punchestown) with confirmed going suitability (GoingFit:+). The MarkMv:+24 is a concern but in a Grade 3 chase of only four runners with equal weights, a higher mark is largely academic — what matters is outright ability, and at SR:149 he leads the field by 4 points over Croke Park (SR:145). The 8% market drift is the strongest concrete negative on his line, but with a 4/6 favourite in a four-runner race, that drift alone is insufficient cause to oppose him when Croke Park's runner line carries its own red flags. Gorgeous Tom's form reads 2450-3, the last run being a third which is a positive return to action, and GoingFit:+ confirms he handles today's conditions. Each-way alternative: Croke Park. Main danger: Croke Park — Gordon Elliott (18% strike rate) and Jack Kennedy (23% strike rate) is a high-quality combination, and ClassMv:= means no rise in class from last time, but the 187-day absence and a form string of 33300- mean Croke Park needs to bounce back sharply to beat Gorgeous Tom.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Form reads 2450-3 — the '45' in that sequence are worrying mid-card finishes, and the sole return-to-action third was beaten, not winning, suggesting he is not peaking.
  • MarkMv:+24 means he runs off a mark 24lb higher than when last assessed competitive; in a handicap-framed Grade 3 context that is a concrete disadvantage versus rivals on lower trajectories.
  • 8% market drift at 4/6 in a four-runner race is significant — money has actively moved away from him with no reported explanation, implying stable or market confidence is not high.
  • Croke Park, trained by Gordon Elliott with Jack Kennedy up (23% strike rate), has fresher course form (P1) and Elliott's yard fires horses off long breaks — 187-day absence is the real risk there, no…
