Lirakali (SR 158, 6/4) holds the highest Saturday Rating in the field, trained by Henry de Bromhead (16% career strike rate, 2,401 runners — one of the most reliable NH operations in Ireland) and ridden by Darragh O'Keeffe (13%, 1,958 runners). The form of 22 — two placed efforts — shows consistent ability without a win, exactly the profile of a horse ready to graduate on a soft-ground maiden hurdle at Wexford. Crucially, while Soul Asylum (SR 156) is co-favourite at 6/4, it has been off 178 days, is unproven at today's trip (DistFit:?) and on soft (GoingFit:?) — three specific unknowns that Lirakali does not share. Lirakali's market has held firm versus Soul Asylum's question marks, and de Bromhead's 16% trainer strike rate gives meaningful weight to the positive booking of O'Keeffe. Each-way alternative: Jessbers Wish. Main danger: Soul Asylum — Soul Asylum (SR 156, 6/4) has the second-highest rating in the field and benefits from Gordon Elliott's 18% stable strike rate with Jack Kennedy (23%) aboard — if the 178-day absence has left him sharp rather than ring-rusty, he is fully capable of turning the tables.
