Eddie & Patrick Harty 9%

9-13

★★☆☆☆

—

Areana has won twice in her last four starts, including back-to-back victories two and three runs back, and she has experience over today's distance and going — but a 355-day absence and an unplaced effort last time out are clear concerns heading into this.

9-13

★☆☆☆☆

—

Darkdeserthighway shapes as an appealing each-way contender off an official mark of 68, with a second two starts back suggesting she retains ability, and her experience over today's distance and going is a plus; fourth last time out and a 17-day gap leave her close to peak fitness stepping out from stall 17.

9-13

★☆☆☆☆

—

Winless in her last three starts — including an unseating — and ranked near the foot of the field on our figures, Doctor Grace is hard to fancy at this level; she has run over today's trip and going, and a break of 72 days at least leaves the freshness angle open.

★☆☆☆☆

—

Sinbad My Dad arrives on the back of a runner-up finish last time out, which offers encouragement, though he remains winless in his last six starts and carries 139 lb from stall 13, making life harder again here.

P Sweeney 5%

9-12

★☆☆☆☆

—

Solomon is ranked second of seventeen in the field on a speed rating of 77, giving connections genuine cause for optimism, and he has run over today's distance and going before; the main concern is a winless recent spell and 196 days off the track.

★☆☆☆☆

—

Berto Ramirez has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 73 offers him some appeal against this field, yet he is winless in his last five starts and those three consecutive fourths suggest he finds a way to be competitive without quite seeing it out.

★☆☆☆☆

—

Daonethatgotaway arrives here 17 days fresh and has run over today's trip and going, yet winless in his last six starts and drawing stall 12 under 137 lb, he heads into this as a mid-division prospect with a second five starts back his lone recent highlight.

Jared Huggan 0%

Denis Gerard Hogan 9%

9-11

★★☆☆☆

—

Hexagonal won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving him a solid platform from stall one carrying 137 lb, but his trainer's dire recent strike rate of just one winner from 28 gives obvious cause for caution.

SR 55 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

★☆☆☆☆

—

Winless in her last six starts, Enchanted Lady has experience of today's trip and going but her recent finishes — seventh last time, ninth two starts back — make it hard to fancy her competitively off 136 lb from stall four, and our rating of 68 ranks her twelfth of seventeen.

★★☆☆☆

—

Lough Leane landed a win four starts back and returns after a 32-day break with experience of today's trip and going in his favour, while our rating of 74 marks him out as a leading threat at the weights; the worry is his last three runs have yielded only a fourth.

Winless in his last five starts, Showyoutheropes has at least shown experience over today's trip and conditions, and a speed rating of 76 offers modest encouragement, though a ninth last time out and stall seven from 136 lb make this a tough ask.

★☆☆☆☆

—

Winless in her last five starts and ranked near the foot of our figures, Chosen One faces a stiff task here; second two starts back offers a crumb of comfort, and she has run over today's trip and going before, but 133 lb from stall 11 adds to the burden.

Sweet Baby Zou won one in her last six starts and ranks thirteenth of seventeen on our figures, making her hard to fancy at face value, though she was third last time out, has run over today's distance and going before, and returns on a fresh enough 14-day break.

★☆☆☆☆

—

Chestnut Palace has run over today's distance and going but remains winless in her last six starts, with a string of fourth and fifth placings suggesting she finds one or two too good; a yard in poor form and 86 days off the track are further concerns despite her rating of 73 offering some encouragement.

Hexagonal

Confidence: Speculative

Hexagonal (SR:55, Wgt:9-11) carries the joint-highest SR in the field alongside A Pretty Penny and Sweet Baby Zou, but crucially arrives on the back of a recent win (form 601071 — rightmost digit a '1') just 17 days ago, suggesting peak fitness. The GoingFit:~ is acceptable and the MarkMv:-2 means the handicapper has barely adjusted, keeping the mark workable. Denis Gerard Hogan runs a yard of volume (778 career runners) and at 9%, and while Jared Huggan's 0% strike rate from 22 rides is a concern, the horse's own in-form profile and superior SR over most rivals in a weak 17-runner apprentice handicap (prize €7,200, below-120 SR field throughout) gives it the clearest edge on ability. Each-way alternative: A Pretty Penny. Main danger: A Pretty Penny — A Pretty Penny (SR:55, Wgt:9-2) shares the joint-highest SR, carries the lightest weight of the serious contenders giving her a significant lbs advantage, and arrives on a strong recent run sequence (515421 — last run a win), making her the most obvious threat to Hexagonal despite GoingFit:- being a mild concern.

Case against 4 clamped

Jared Huggan holds a 0% strike rate from 22 rides — an apprentice jockey yet to record a single winner is a meaningful liability in a competitive 17-runner handicap.
Areana (SR:58) holds a superior speed rating and has trainer Eddie & Patrick Harty pairing with Jessica O'Gorman (17% strike rate, 35 rides) — a far stronger jockey-trainer combination than Hexagonal…
Sweet Baby Zou (SR:56) is fresher by days, carries 5lb less weight at 9-6, and is trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien (16%, 1658 runners) with a proven apprentice — a yard that knows how to place horse…
Hexagonal's form string 601071 includes two zeros and a six in the last six runs; the win came in what may have been a weaker race, and the MarkMv:-2 suggests the handicapper is not convinced the win…
