10/1 4/1 9/1
Bell Ex Too won last time out, 32 days ago, and has run on today's going before, so he arrives fresh and in form under 158 lb. Our rating of 99 ranks him second of nine, though the big weight is the main risk.
AI verdict

SR 84 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

10/11 8/11 4/5
Danny Power won last time out and returns after 23 days, a fresh but not rusty gap, with experience of both today's trip and the going. Carrying 158 lb is a fair test, but he is the one to beat, and our rating of 101 ranks him top of nine.

SR 104 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

10/1 3/1 10/1
Contador is effectively unexposed, with no recorded form to go on and 114 days since his last run, so he's one to take on trust. Carrying 152 lb, he's open to improvement but yet to show what he can do.
AI verdict

SR 81 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

150/1 80/1 125/1
Fit enough after 23 days off, Dunmore has run over today's trip and on this going before, and he is a leading danger at 152 lb with our rating of 75 placing him fourth of nine. The risk is a seventh last time out, which leaves him yet to show he can bounce back.
AI verdict

SR 44 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 125/1.

Kenough is effectively unexposed, with no recorded form to go on, so he is open to improvement. He returns after 17 days off and carries 152 lb, and it is hard to read much more into the profile.
AI verdict

SR 86 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Mahzuz is unexposed with no recorded form to go on, so he's open to improvement, and he returns after 197 days off while carrying 152 lb. A big absence to weigh up, but there's plenty of scope for progress.
AI verdict

SR 60 suggests ability but 200/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Palace Tyne is effectively unexposed, with no recorded form to go on, so any improvement is a bonus. He returns after just 16 days off and carries 152 lb, which leaves plenty to prove.

Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, so Sea Of Dubka arrives with a positive profile, and our rating of 95 ranks her third of nine. The main risk is the 54-day break, plus 151 lb on her back.
AI verdict

SR 101 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Julie's Moon was only sixth last time out and is yet to win in her recent form, which makes her hard to fancy, though she is quick back after 13 days and has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 145 lb, she sits fifth of nine on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 41 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 150/1.

Danny Power
Confidence: Medium

Danny Power (SR 104, 5/6) carries the highest SR in the field by a clear margin over Sea Of Dubka (SR 101) and is ridden by Mark Walsh (21% career strike rate, 747 runners) — the standout jockey booking in the race. The market has backed him in a further 10% since opening, reflecting genuine confidence from connections and punters alike. John Queally's yard operates at 10% but this is a limited 3yo hurdle field where SR dominance matters, and Danny Power's rating is comfortably ahead of the pack. GoingFit:? means no proven ground concerns, and there is nothing in the data to oppose him. Each-way alternative: Sea Of Dubka. Main danger: Sea Of Dubka — Sea Of Dubka (SR 101, 7/2) is steaming in 15% from opening, is proven on good going (GoingFit:+), carries a pound less than Danny Power, and is trained by Henry de Bromhead (16% strike rate, 2373 runners) — the one runner in the field with a confirmed ground preference and market momentum to match.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Trainer John Queally operates at just 10% strike rate (155 runners) — well below the yard strike rates of Elliott (18%) and JPO'Brien (16%) who saddle live threats Contador and Kenough.
  • Sea Of Dubka (SR 101) has been backed in 15% and is trained by Henry de Bromhead (16% SR) — a yard that punches above its weight at Punchestown; the market is narrowing the gap between the two.
  • Danny Power's last run was 23 days ago off a single hurdles win; Kenough (17 days, JPO'Brien/Slevin) arrives fresher from a powerful yard and is only marginally drifted, suggesting connections are st…
  • At 5/6 in a 3yo hurdle against two unexposed rivals (Contador, Kenough) with blank form lines from major stables, the price leaves almost no margin for error if either debutant shows natural improvem…
