Shaped with renewed promise at Downpatrick latest, finishing runner-up at long odds beaten 2l on going he handles; effective up to 2m6f and not without a chance if building on that effort, though ranked 13th on our figures and his trainer has struggled for results recently.

Acheron's 14/1 odds, modest 92 Saturday Rating, and form showing no wins from three hurdle starts justify just 2/5 stars.
Showed too much early enthusiasm on his bumper debut at Punchestown, finishing well beaten, and now switches to hurdling after a break of over two months; considerable improvement required to figure here.

Carrying top weight of 11-4 with a single run form of 0- and 28/1 odds signals the market holds little confidence in Casper Charlie.
Useful early form that was endorsed at Listed level, though winless in his last five starts and well beaten at Downpatrick latest in what appeared a gentle outing; dons a hood here and handles this distance and going, but more is needed.

✦AI verdict
Cooladdi's poor form (3276-7) and 14/1 odds suggest limited market confidence despite carrying 11-4.
A hurdling novice with a point-to-point background, he has run consistently well over hurdles, most recently runner-up beaten 1¼l at Punchestown on going he handles; effective from 2m4f to 3m and respected here, though yet to win over timber.

✦AI verdict
Rated 114 with consistent form (2240-2) and fair 3/1 odds, but 11-4 weight and non-favourite market position limit the ceiling.
A Jet Away gelding making his debut, he is trained by a top handler who can place a debutant to good effect; his dam was modest over longer trips, though he could make a fair impression on his first start, and the trainer's recent lean spell is the caveat.

✦AI verdict
Rated 140 but sent off at 10/1 carrying 11-4 with unknown form suggests market caution limits confidence.
Won a point-to-point, though the quality of that form is open to question, and he disappointed on his rules debut in a bumper at Sligo; returned here with a tongue-tie after a break of nearly two months, and his 3m stamina from pointing is the main asset.

✦AI verdict
Outsider odds of 33/1 and a patchy form reading of P1/0 undermine confidence despite a 124 Saturday Rating.
Returned to his best form at Kilbeggan latest, finishing a close runner-up beaten three-quarters of a length in a maiden hurdle on going he handles; effective from 2m to 2m4f and now fitted with tongue-tie and cheekpieces, he holds a genuine chance.
Form last 645/4-2

✦AI verdict
Form figure of 45/4-2 shows consistent placing without a win, while 13/2 odds and 103 Saturday Rating suggest mid-tier market confidence.
A point winner who acts on good ground and is best at 3m, he was found wanting for pace when dropped in trip at Sligo latest; he should be better served by a stiffer test and remains of interest if the longer distance brings out more.

✦AI verdict
A Saturday Rating of 139 shows ability, but 12/1 odds and inconsistent form (P61-37) limit confidence.
Tried in a different headgear combination at Punchestown last time but still held comfortably in a maiden hurdle; effective over 2m3f and has prior experience of today's going, though ranked 14th on our figures and in need of a significant step forward.

Odds of 50/1 and poor form figures of P0-6 reflect a Saturday Rating of 118 with little market confidence.
Well beaten on his only start in a bumper at Punchestown, he now switches to hurdling after nearly 70 days off the track; significant improvement will be needed for him to play a role here, and our figures have him ranked last in the field.

A Saturday Rating of 124 is undermined by 125/1 odds, single poor form, and no market confidence.
Showed a step forward at this course latest, finishing runner-up beaten 4¼l in a maiden hurdle on going he handles well; effective over 2m to 2m1f in testing conditions or on good ground, and a strong each-way prospect if continuing on an upward curve.

A Saturday Rating of 113 and fair 11/4 odds are undermined by inconsistent 8-62 form and a 10-13 weight burden.
Hard to fault for consistency, she has placed repeatedly in recent starts and handles today's ground well over 2m to 2m2f; fitted with a tongue-tie, she poses a genuine danger despite being beaten 6½l at Sligo latest.

Inconsistent form (353-24) and 12/1 odds suggest market scepticism despite a solid 93 Saturday Rating at 10-11.
Out of sorts in recent outings and found well below her best at Wexford just three days ago; handles trips of 2m1f to 2m2f on today's going, but the quick return looks a concern and she appears up against it here.

Weak form figures of 000-58 and 40/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in this 126-rated runner.
Badly beaten on her only start in a mares bumper at Limerick, she switches to hurdling with a hood; significant improvement is required for her to make a mark here, though a fresh surface and new conditions could spark better.

A Saturday Rating of 127 shows ability, but 50/1 odds and a single form figure of 7 suggest the market has little confidence.
A 19,000 euros Getaway mare and half-sister to Morricone, useful at staying trips, she makes her debut for a top handler whose yard has a strong record in this race; debut market support would be significant, and our figures have her clear at the head of the field.

Take The Free (SR:113, 11/4) is the market's second choice and represents the most coherent betting case in a wide-open maiden. Trainer E Bolger runs at a 16% career strike rate from just 37 runners — a sharp, selective yard that doesn't fire without expectation — and a recent form line of 8-62 shows genuine progression, with the latest run a second place that confirms readiness. At 10-13 the weight burden is lighter than most rivals, and the 11/4 price reflects genuine market confidence without overexposure. The stable clearly has this one primed: a 16% strike rate from 37 runners means Bolger picks his spots carefully, and this four-year-old arriving off 28 days with improving form is the archetypal yard-pattern runner.
Each-way alternative: Sea Feliz.
Main danger: Sea Feliz — Sea Feliz (SR:152, 7/2) is the class standout from the Mullins yard — despite an 8% drift and a blank form line, a 20% trainer strike rate from 1,165 runners means Mullins maidens regularly land on debut and the SR advantage over the field is substantial.
