Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Rokanako (SR:156, 13/2) is the highest-rated horse whose market position is actually improving, with a 26% inward move that represents serious money entering at a double-figure price. Mark Walsh at 22% career strike rate is a standout jockey booking in this field — connections clearly mean business. The form string 0-1422 shows a recent win followed by two placed efforts, indicating a horse in consistent form rather than one-hit wonder territory. Tell The Boys (SR:158) holds a marginal SR edge but has drifted 6% from opening, carries the headgear of a hood suggesting some management needed, and the U in its recent form (unseated rider) is a concern in a hurdle maiden; the market shortening on Rokanako versus the drift on Tell The Boys is a decisive differentiator.
Each-way alternative: Coolishael.
Main danger: Tell The Boys — Tell The Boys holds the field's joint-highest SR at 158, has course form (W1P1 at Listowel), and at 13/8 retains strong market support despite the 6% drift — if the hood settles any temperament issues the raw ability could still dominate.

Trainer Edward F Power has a modest 8% strike rate from just 71 runners — a small, unproven yard whose sole notable asset here is the Mark Walsh booking, which may inflate perceived confidence.
Coolishael (SR:151, 11/2) is 6% inward and comes off just 31 days with stable support, directly rivalling Rokanako's market narrative with a more consistent recent form string of 43-323.
At 13/2 in a 16-runner field, Rokanako faces significant pace and positional risks from a large competitive field where SR:156 is not dominant — Tell The Boys (158) and Of Land And Sea (152) both rat…
