Cloughleagh Bridge

Age 2 · 9-3

Luke McAteer 8%

P J F Murphy 5%

—

125

9-3

33/1 FCST 28/1

Beaten well on debut at Leopardstown, but it was a first run on soft ground over a shorter trip, and stepping forward markedly from that experience is a reasonable expectation. Her profile makes her a live threat; the main risk is rivals with more experience behind them.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 125 shows ability, but 33/1 odds and a single fifth-place form suggest limited market confidence.

Ippy

Age 2 · 9-3

—

R. P. Whelan 9%

John S O'Donoghue 9%

131

9-3

20/1

A Kodi Bear filly on debut, hooded, with pedigree pointing to today's trip and beyond — a half-sister to Lady Of Inishfree, smart at a mile, and the dam very useful at a mile and a half. First-time-out uncertainty limits confidence.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 20/1 and a Saturday Rating of 131 reflect weak market confidence in Ippy's chances.

Lucy's Promise

Age 2 · 9-3

Adam Caffrey 9%

Adrian McGuinness 9%

—

125

9-3

50/1 FCST 40/1

Beaten decisively on her only start in an auction race at Fairyhouse, and a significant step forward is required to figure here. The hood applied for the first time is about the only positive angle, with the trainer out of form and her ranking bottom of our figures for this field.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 125 is undermined by 66/1 odds, single run form of 0, and no market support.

Violet Be Humble

Age 2 · 9-3

—

R. P. Cleary 6%

Sean Davis 5%

—

125

9-3

22/1 FCST 20/1

A Cotai Glory filly on debut, with her dam placed at six furlongs at two, giving the family a short-side bias. There is little to go on without a run behind her and she is hard to recommend at face value; needs the market to say otherwise.

AI verdict

Long odds of 25/1 and unknown form leave Violet Be Humble a 125-rated outsider with little market confidence.

Caoch The Piper

Age 2 · 9-1

Seamie Heffernan 8%

A. Slattery 11%

—

125

9-1

50/1 40/1 50/1

Trailing throughout when out of the picture in an auction race at Down Royal most recently, and has failed to make an impression in her last two starts. Pedigree suggests the step up to around a mile could help, but significant improvement is needed to feature here.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 40/1 and poor form figure of 60 make Caoch The Piper an unlikely contender despite a Saturday Rating of 125.

Party In Vegas

Age 2 · 9-1

—

Dylan Browne McMonagle 17%

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 16%

—

152

9-1

7/2 3/1 10/3

A 35,000gns Lucky Vega breeze-up purchase on debut, with her dam showing useful form at seven furlongs and the stable having landed two of the last five runnings of this race — a genuine angle. The only caveat is first-time-out uncertainty.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 152 combined with competitive 10/3 odds and solid 9-1 weight marks Party In Vegas as a strong non-favourite contender.

Sister Nancy

Age 2 · 9-1

Nathan Crosse 4%

Daniel McLoughlin 8%

—

134

9-1

14/1 FCST 12/1

Beaten thirteen lengths into fourth on her only start at Listowel, and now faces a step up of two furlongs in trip that may stretch her further. The experience of that debut outing is useful but there is plenty to prove on both counts.

AI verdict

A single fourth-place form figure and 18/1 odds signal the market holds little confidence in Sister Nancy's winning chances.

Cashel Queen

Age 2 · 8-13

Gavin Ryan 8%

Donnacha Aidan O'Brien 12%

—

156

8-13

13/8 5/4 3/2

Shaped promisingly on debut at Leopardstown when third, beaten five lengths on soft ground over 7f, with the step up to a mile expected to bring out more from her. She handles the conditions and stands as the clear top-rated runner in this field.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 156 and competitive 6/4 odds support her form figure of 3 at 8-13.

Celtic Moon

Age 2 · 8-13

Ben Coen 11%

J. P. Murtagh 11%

—

155

8-13

7/4 3/2 7/4

Showed inexperience on her Leopardstown debut when fourth, beaten just over five lengths on soft, but enough ability was on show to mark her as a genuine danger. The mile trip looks to suit and her trainer is in form; the risk is the selection may confirm the form.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 155 combined with competitive 7/4 odds and consistent form makes Celtic Moon a strong but not dominant contender.

Wicklow Gap

Age 3 · 10-0

099-40

G. F. Carroll 10%

Gavin Cromwell 11%

10-0

10/1 17/2 9/1

Made no impression from rear in a Leopardstown handicap most recently, but steps down in grade here and that is the key angle. Effective over six and seven furlongs on a sound surface, with the tongue-tie applied for the first time; the main caveat is he may be stretched by today's mile.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with a Saturday Rating of 49 and poor form of 099-40 makes Wicklow Gap a 10/1 outsider with minimal winning prospects.

Nosmokewithoutfire

Age 3 · 9-13

0-70

Sadhbh Tormey 5%

T G McCourt 7%

9-13

40/1 33/1 40/1

Trailing at the back throughout in a Dundalk maiden on his latest outing, he has shown little to recommend him across recent starts. The sire's record at longer trips at least suggests today's mile should be within his reach, but a big step forward is needed to figure.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-13, a poor Saturday Rating of 29, weak form of 0-70, and 40/1 odds signal minimal winning chance.

Dream Legend

Age 3 · 9-10

06-013

Leigh Roche 6%

E D Delany 8%

9-10

7/2 3/1 7/2

Third on his most recent start, beaten just over three lengths off a 57 mark and arriving just 1lb lower today with a win on the board over today's trip on similar going. He shapes as the one to beat in this field.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 61 edges above the 0-60 class ceiling, but recent form (06-013) and 9-10 weight temper confidence despite fair 10/3 odds.

Enthusiastically

Age 3 · 9-10

144-40

Chris Hayes 10%

Sean Hayes 0%

9-10

22/1 FCST 20/1

Outpaced at six furlongs at the Curragh most recently, but she has a win on the board and is most effective over seven and eight furlongs — today's mile sits squarely in her range. The first-time hood and blinkers signal connections are looking for a sharper effort; the trip increase is the key.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 35, 25/1 odds, and form showing 144-40 indicate a horse carrying 9-10 with minimal winning prospects.

Fontaine Khaled

Age 3 · 9-9

7-0083

Jessica O'Gorman 10%

Eddie & Patrick Harty 9%

9-9

7/2 10/3 7/2

Third, beaten three and a half lengths off her current mark at Down Royal last time, and she looks capable of building on that effort here. Acts on yielding and good ground and is effective at today's trip; the wide draw from stall 15 is the one risk.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-9 with poor recent form 7-0083 and a modest Saturday Rating of 55 limits confidence despite fair 7/2 odds.

Caoilte

Age 3 · 9-7

699500

Luke McAteer 8%

David Marnane 10%

9-7

22/1 20/1 22/1

Showed little at Fairyhouse on his most recent outing, finishing down the field, and a bounce back in form is needed. Effective over seven and eight furlongs and handles all-weather; blinkers applied for the first time may help him find more on the day.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a Saturday Rating of just 31, form reading 699500, and dismissed by the market at 22/1, Caoilte has no viable winning claims.

Due In June

Age 3 · 9-5

7869

Colin Keane 16%

Ian Patrick Donoghue 10%

9-5

8/1 17/2 8/1

Out of her depth at six furlongs in a Fairyhouse handicap last time, beaten eight and a half lengths, but the step back up to a mile today is more in her range. A jockey with a strong record at this venue takes the ride, which is a genuine plus; the form figures suggest more is needed.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 45, poor form figures of 7869, and 9/1 odds confirm the market holds little confidence in Due In June.

Hugo Spritz

Age 3 · 9-4

009

Donagh O'Connor 8%

John McConnell 8%

9-4

22/1 18/1 22/1

Trailed at the back in a Limerick maiden most recently with little to show across recent runs. Wears cheekpieces for the first time here and the switch to handicap company may suit in time, but the trainer is without a result from the last 25 and there is plenty to prove.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 32, 20/1 odds, and form reading 009 confirm Hugo Spritz as a rank outsider with no winning claims.

Stonyfalls

Age 3 · 9-3

809-69

Killian Leonard 5%

Paul Traynor 7%

9-3

25/1 22/1 25/1

Well beaten, almost ten lengths adrift at Down Royal last time, and there is ground to make up on that performance. Acts on soft and has experience at today's trip; needs to show more than she has in recent starts to be a factor.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 29, weak form of 809-69, and 22/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects here.

Borora Aura

Age 3 · 9-2

79369

Terry Casey 7%

Michael Mulvany 9%

9-2

8/1 13/2 8/1

Beaten over seven lengths at Leopardstown on her most recent start, another below-par effort in a troubled recent spell, and a significant bounce back is required. Tongue-tie applied for the first time; handles the trip and conditions, but whether the gear change sparks improvement is the key question.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 with a Saturday Rating of just 46, inconsistent form (79369) and 7/1 odds signal limited winning prospects.

Bullet Bourbon

Age 3 · 9-2

0-2970

James Ryan 7%

T G McCourt 7%

9-2

14/1

In trouble in running at Down Royal most recently and beaten well, though that effort may be worth discounting given the incident in the race. Her mark continues to fall and she acts with cut in the ground over today's trip; the wide draw from stall 13 will need managing.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 with a Saturday Rating of just 37, poor form figures of 0-2970, and drifting at 16/1, Bullet Bourbon offers negligible winning chances.

Beau Army

Age 3 · 8-13

662040

Adam Caffrey 9%

Adrian McGuinness 9%

8-13

9/1 8/1 9/1

Placed earlier in the campaign and effective over today's trip on good ground, she returns to a mark from which she has previously shown her best, with the stable having landed this race last year. The trainer's current run of results is the main risk to weigh.

AI verdict

Beau Army's poor form (662040), low Saturday Rating of 44, and 9/1 market position signal limited winning prospects.

Age 3 · 8-11

054065

Wesley Joyce 6%

Michael Mulvany 9%

8-11

13/2 11/2 13/2

Consistent in recent starts without threatening the frame, and the step back from ten furlongs to a mile today is expected to suit her. Wears first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces; acts on a range of surfaces and her trip range comfortably covers today's distance.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 46 and inconsistent form reading 054065 offer little confidence at 8-11 weight for 6/1 odds.

Threebiggulps

Age 3 · 8-11

0099

Nathan Crosse 4%

J G Coogan 1%

8-11

25/1 22/1 25/1

Outpaced and beaten down the field at Gowran Park last time when nine furlongs appeared beyond him, and he has plenty to prove. Wears cheekpieces for the first time here; the return to a mile at least addresses the stamina question, but improvement is needed to feature.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 26 and dismal 0099 form make Threebiggulps a 22/1 outsider with little winning prospects.

Wedding Year

Age 3 · 8-8

5-4307

R. P. Cleary 6%

Adrian McGuinness 9%

8-8

16/1 FCST 14/1

Beaten well over ten furlongs at Ballinrobe on her most recent run, a trip that appeared to stretch her, and the drop back to a mile here is more within her range. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; acts over seven and eight furlongs, though she has plenty to prove at this level.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 32, weak 5-4307 form, and 16/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects in this handicap.

Sayonara

Age 3 · 9-8

8-5300

Seamie Heffernan 8%

A. Slattery 11%

9-8

20/1

Well beaten at Naas on his most recent run when sent over five furlongs, a trip that appeared too sharp for him, and a significant improvement is needed here. He acts on all-weather and looks at home over six furlongs; the step back up in distance is the one angle in his favour.

AI verdict

Rated just 35 with weak 8-5300 form and dismissed by the market at 20/1, Sayonara offers minimal winning prospects.

Colin Keane 16%

T G McCourt 7%

10-2

8/1 6/1 8/1

Winless in his last five starts but returns to 8f after finding 6f too sharp at Fairyhouse last time; competitively weighted on his official mark and partners a jockey with a strong record at this venue, acts on good ground.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 52, poor form (74-047), and 10-2 weight burden make 7/1 odds unappealing.

Age 4 · 10-0

Jessica O'Gorman 10%

Eddie & Patrick Harty 9%

10-0

7/1 11/2 7/1

Showed solid form including a win at 7/8f before a 104-day break, then was well held at Dundalk on his comeback in a manner that suggested the run was needed; handles today's going and has more to offer if recapturing that earlier level.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with a modest Saturday Rating of 52 and a form run of 4123-0, the 6/1 shot offers little appeal.

Carvalhal

Age 5 · 9-12

90-021

Nicola Burns 7%

R P Burns 6%

9-12

9/4

Landed a handicap at Limerick 13 days ago by 2l — his sharpest effort in a year — and was placed in second the run before; effective 7f-9f on soft and good, stall 1 gives him the rail advantage and he is the one to beat despite a 6lb rise.

AI verdict

Carvalhal's solid form (90-021) and competitive 5/2 odds are offset by a tough 9-12 weight burden in this 0-60 contest.

Rockbury Lad

Age 7 · 9-12

923006

Jamie Powell 8%

M D O'Callaghan 12%

9-12

12/1 11/1 12/1

Ran with greater purpose at Leopardstown last time on quicker ground and operates well at 7-9f on a sound surface; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces could sharpen his focus and the handicapper has given him an opening, though draw 18 is a stiff ask in this large field.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-12 with poor form 923006 and a weak Saturday Rating of 46 at 12/1 makes Rockbury Lad unconvincing.

Roman Harry

Age 6 · 9-11

-44730

Killian Leonard 5%

S M Duffy 2%

9-11

14/1 12/1 14/1

Rates a solid 7/8f performer on good ground and has the figures to suggest he can go close, but his turf reappearance at the Curragh last time was laboured; first-time cheekpieces are a positive on his return from a short break, inconsistency the key reservation.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 41, poor form (-44730), and 14/1 odds signal Roman Harry has little realistic chance in this competitive 0-60 handicap.

Dinamine

Age 8 · 9-10

31-039

Wesley Joyce 6%

Michael Mulvany 9%

9-10

15/2 6/1 15/2

His most recent effort at Leopardstown came on soft ground after a rapid back-to-back — he had competed just 24 hours earlier — and that run can easily be excused; effective at 7f/1m on a sounder surface and clearly capable of better, he is firmly in the mix.

AI verdict

Rated just 51 with patchy form (31-039) and ignored by the market at 7/1, Dinamine lacks the profile to threaten here.

Captain Ciano

Age 4 · 9-9

-50009

James Ryan 7%

T G McCourt 7%

9-9

25/1 22/1 25/1

Form has been heading in the wrong direction with four unplaced or near-unplaced efforts in his last five starts, and draw 17 adds to the burden in this large field; has course experience at today's distance and going but faces a stiff task from his current trajectory.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 30, 22/1 odds, and form figures of -50009 offer no compelling reason to support Captain Ciano.

Secret Magician

Age 7 · 9-9

080307

Shay Wallace 7%

Martin Hassett 9%

9-9

10/1 12/1 10/1

Fourth in our ratings and a genuine threat; held his level at Leopardstown last time but failed to see out 9f and the return to 8f looks a natural fit; acts on any going, first-time blinkers a positive focus, though he is yet to score.

AI verdict

Poor form figures (080307) and a low Saturday Rating of 44 make 12/1 odds reflect justified market skepticism.

Virgil Tibbs

Donagh O'Connor 8%

John McConnell 8%

9-9

25/1 22/1 25/1

Absent for 239 days and his trainer has gone 0/27 in the past fortnight; failed to get into contention at Dundalk before that long break and is yet to win in recent outings, with form at 1m to his credit but plenty to prove on these combined indicators.

AI verdict

Rated just 27 with uninspiring form of 67870- and drifting at 25/1, Virgil Tibbs offers minimal winning prospects.

Tortola

Age 4 · 9-8

83-570

Luke McAteer 8%

A. Slattery 11%

9-8

33/1

Returning from a 139-day absence and her Dundalk claimer run before that break was well off what she can show; most effective at 6/7f, so today's 8f looks a stretch, and her inconsistency leaves her with plenty to find against this field.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 28, 33/1 odds, and dismal form figures of 83-570 leave Tortola with no credible winning claims.

Age 7 · 9-7

T G McCourt 7%

9-7

12/1 9/1 12/1

Effective at 8/9f on today's going but has struggled badly in recent starts and was well held at Leopardstown last time; draw 16 is wide in a big field, and while his mark continues to ease, first-time tongue-tie and visor may help unlock something.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 44 and dismal form reading 708670 at 10/1 make Rampage an unconvincing 9-7 burden.

Pinball Wizard

Age 8 · 9-6

3070-7

Siobhan Rutledge 6%

16/1 18/1 16/1

Disappointing at Gowran Park last time and carries the added concern of a trainer who has gone 0/27 in recent weeks; effective at 7-10f on today's going, first-time cheekpieces offer some hope but more is needed than his current form has produced.

AI verdict

Rated just 29 with weak 3070-7 form and dismissed by the market at 22/1, Pinball Wizard offers negligible winning prospects.

Micasso

Age 2 · 9-2

14/1 12/1 14/1

Absent for 261 days and made no impression in his final run at Dundalk before that lengthy layoff; draw 14 is on the wide side and first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces represent a fresh approach, though a significant step forward is needed given the evidence.

AI verdict

Micasso's Saturday Rating of 37, distant 14/1 odds, and poor form reading 05620- make this a deeply unconvincing handicap contender.

Alan Persse 4%

40/1 33/1 40/1

Last seen departing a claiming hurdle at Wexford and has something to prove returning to Flat action on turf; best flat form has come on the all-weather over 8-9f, so today's surface is a concern, and first-time cheekpieces are the only new positive on offer.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 16, 40/1 odds, and a form string of 00856- make Plastic Paddy an unconvincing outsider.

Showed his keenness at Leopardstown last time on a longer trip and failed to see it out, but today's drop back to 1m suits better; at his best on a sounder surface, first-time cheekpieces may help him settle, though he sits towards the foot of the ratings.

AI verdict

Rated just 44 with uninspiring form of -23277, Desert Of The Sea's 7/1 odds suggest the market sees limited winning potential.

Rory Mulligan 9%

Thomas Dowling 5%

8-10

14/1

Set out too fast in blinkers at Roscommon on his turf return last time and faded badly; better on the all-weather at 7/8f and draw 15 is inconvenient for one who likes to lead, with first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces offering the main new angle here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 38, weak 3-0046 form, and 14/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in this 8-10 weighted runner.

Struggled to find his best on his turf return at Limerick last time, and typically operates best at 7f rather than today's extra furlong; that run may have put him sharper for this but he has ground to make up on our figures.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 55 and poor recent form (3200-6) at 9-9 weight make 9/2 odds hard to justify.

Tom McGuinness 8%

8-11

33/1

Struggled badly at Gowran Park last time after missing the kick and is without a win in five recent starts; most effective at 5-7f so today's 8f trip looks a stretch, and with a wide draw and an unreliable profile, she has plenty to overcome.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 21, odds of 33/1, and a form string of 09-000 offer no credible path to victory at any weight.

Slow away at Fairyhouse on his only outing and unable to land a blow throughout, but his trainer is in form and the shorter trip today could see him closer; lightly raced with scope to improve, though he has something to prove before posing a genuine threat.

AI verdict

A single run showing no form, 28/1 odds, and a Saturday Rating of 119 signal limited winning prospects here.

Beaten a long way on his only run at Nottingham and sits at the foot of our figures; scope to improve with experience but needs a significant step forward to feature in this, and there is little in the form to suggest it is imminent.

AI verdict

Grayrobin's single run finishing 8th, combined with 18/1 odds and a Saturday Rating of 129, signals limited market confidence.

Shows consistent form across all four starts and produced his expected level again at Down Royal last time over 5f, finishing fourth beaten 8l; acts on soft and good and gets another chance here — a genuine contender despite being yet to score.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 3444, a competitive 2/1 market price, and a Saturday Rating of 154 justify the strong 4/5 assessment.

Displayed useful early pace on her debut, tracking prominent before keeping on for third in a maiden — a solid introduction from a strong yard; the drop to 5f looks tailored to her strengths, she acts on today's going, and is the one to beat.

AI verdict

Sole form figure of 3, even-money market position, and a Saturday Rating of 130 limit confidence despite 9-2 weight.

Finished fourth on both starts in auction races without threatening, and his Cork run matched his opening effort; capable at 5f and has been freshened by a break since, making him a fair each-way prospect in the context of this field.

AI verdict

Midfield form figures of 44 and 14/1 odds suggest a capable but unproven contender carrying 8-13 with a Saturday Rating of 137.

28/1 40/1 25/1

Struggled to land a blow at Listowel most recently — the race was run to suit front-runners — and has finished no better than sixth in two starts; has some pace in his breeding which could see him improve, but faces a stiff task on current form.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 124 and poor form figures of 69 at 40/1 odds signal little winning chance here.

13/2 7/1 6/1

Well beaten on her only start in an auction race at Cork and a significant improvement is needed to feature here; there is scope as a lightly raced filly and she has been freshened by a break, but the debut evidence leaves plenty to prove.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 147 and outside odds of 15/2 suggest mid-tier potential, undermined by a sole form figure of 7.

14/1 16/1 14/1

Unraced filly with strong 5f pedigree credentials — a half-sister to a very useful 5f performer out of a dam who excelled at the minimum as a juvenile; she may need the debut experience but as an Equiano filly she has the speed breeding to pose a threat.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 135 offers potential, but 18/1 odds and unknown form limit confidence to a mid-tier 3-star assessment.

8-8

33/1

Unraced Kodi Bear filly with a half-sibling who has shown smart form at 5f — though her dam was effective at a longer trip; likely needs this debut for the experience and may be better watched until she has had a run under her belt.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 33/1 and a low Saturday Rating of 127 signal weak market confidence in Eastern Queen.

Shane Foley 11%

Mrs J. Harrington 10%

10-0

7/2 5/2 3/1

Shaped honestly in Listed company at Ayr last time and is in her comfort zone at 5f on today's going; first-time blinkers fitted and the mark has eased, though she is yet to score in her last five and consistency remains a question.

AI verdict

Rated just 81 with poor form (-00548) and burdened by 10-0, this 4/1 shot offers little confidence.

Rosie Frith

Age 3 · 9-11

Colin Keane 16%

Patrick Magee 8%

9-11

15/2 7/1 15/2

Has won in recent starts but her 2026 evidence is hard to look past — inclined to be keen, she was well below her best at Epsom last time, beaten 7l; effective at 5/6f on a range of surfaces but needs to rediscover earlier form, and a jockey with a strong record at this venue takes the ride.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a form figure of 0 last time out and a Saturday Rating of 88 limits Rosie Frith's claims at 7/1.

Consistent performer who was off the mark two runs back and followed up with a solid handicap debut last time, beaten just 2l in blinkers; his figures put him clear at the top here, effective at 5f on this going and switches to first-time cheekpieces.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of 90 and inconsistent form of 24-314 limits Namiid's appeal despite fair 5/4 odds.

Has won in recent starts and is effective at 5-7f on today's going, but was well held at the Curragh just six days ago and needs a swift turnaround in form; a bounce back is required and the quick reappearance adds to the doubt.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 73, inconsistent form of -16020, and 9/1 odds suggest limited winning chances at 9-3.

Has two wins in his last six starts but was comprehensively held in 12th on his most recent outing off a 3lb higher mark; fitted with a first-time visor today, effective at 5/6f on this going, though the handicapper may have his measure now.

AI verdict

Form reading 106100 and a 20/1 outsider carrying 9-2 with a Saturday Rating of just 61 limits appeal significantly.

Ran at Down Royal yesterday on ground that appeared on the soft side for her best, and a quicker surface today looks a more favourable proposition; effective up to 6f on good ground but the overnight turnaround and a cold trainer add question marks.

AI verdict

Inconsistent form (034535) and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 80 at 8-9 weight justify a cautious 3-star assessment.

Gavin Cromwell 11%

4/1 11/4 4/1

Beaten just over a length at Navan last time in his first start in a tongue-tie, covering 13f well; handles this ground and takes just a 1lb rise in the weights. Effective between 10-13f with cut or on good, he rates a genuine threat here.

AI verdict

Rated just 56 with inconsistent form of 46-604 and carrying 10-1 weight, Kevin The Great offers limited winning prospects at 3/1.

Two wins in his last six starts demonstrate ability but he currently sits 6lb above his most recent successful mark; trailed badly out of contention on his latest outing and now tries a first-time tongue-tie, dropping 1lb in the weights. Each-way prospects are modest.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 42, weak 139190 form, and 14/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects under 10-0.

Adam Grant(7) 6%

Landed a handicap by over two lengths at Navan last time, reverting to a shorter trip with clear authority; progressive through his last three starts and effective on this ground at 12-16f, he tops our ratings in this field. Trainer figures are subdued but the form profile is compelling.

AI verdict

Jurality's improving form (555321) and competitive 4/1 odds are offset by a top weight of 9-13 exceeding the 0-60 Saturday Rating band.

Beaten just over five lengths at Navan last time when tried over 13f; handles this going and has more to offer at staying distances, where she remains relatively lightly tested. Tries a tongue-tie for the first time today and holds a place chance.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 44, 10/1 odds, and poor recent form of -64075 make Mystic Rose a low-confidence selection at 9-7.

Placed third over hurdles most recently, showing a useful level of form before reverting to the Flat; suited by cut at 10-14f and second on our ratings in this field. Yet to win in recent starts but holds solid each-way claims on his best form.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 53, weak form reading 6-3965, and 9-6 weight combine to make 4/1 odds unappealing at 2/5 stars.

Fourth at Leopardstown last time off this mark, beaten two and a half lengths in a decent effort; off 48 days now and fitted with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time. Ranked tenth on our figures and hard to fancy despite that brief encouragement.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 48 and uninspiring form of 8000-4 make 7/1 odds unattractive despite the manageable 9-6 weight.

Well beaten at Down Royal on his latest start, failing to respond when asked; acts on this going up to 16f but looks more comfortable on an all-weather surface nowadays. Mark has been easing and he tries a first-time visor, though hard to be confident.

AI verdict

Numidia's poor form (640078), low Saturday Rating of 45, and 17/2 odds signal minimal winning prospects.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 35, poor form figures of 600480, and 14/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects here.

Beaten over eight lengths at Limerick last time having shown ability over shorter trips; steps up in distance today where she could find more, and her trainer is in good form. Cheekpieces applied and she rates a solid threat despite being yet to score in recent starts.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-0 with a Saturday Rating of 53 and weak 11/1 odds, Celestially's 0-0406 form offers little confidence.

AI verdict

Miners Cabin's Saturday Rating of 23, 28/1 odds, and dire form of 60000 combine to make this a hopeless contender.

AI verdict

Outsider at 22/1 with a Saturday Rating of just 26 and winless form of 48/8-0 offers no winning case.
