I Ready

Age 2 · 10-0

65814

Dylan Browne McMonagle 17%

Paul W Flynn 9%

10-0

4/1 7/1 4/1

Winner two starts back, and I Ready returns on a sharp 17-day turnaround from stall 1 carrying 140 lb, with experience of today's distance and going in his favour. Our rating of 84 tops the nine-runner field, making him the one to beat despite the trainer's lean spell.

AI verdict

SR 78 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Banks Of The Boyne

Wesley Joyce 6%

Michael Mulvany 9%

9-12

4/1 11/4 4/1

Twice runner-up in his last three completed starts, Banks Of The Boyne arrives here fit on a 17-day turnaround with distance and going experience to call on, and his rating places him right among the principals — though he remains winless and will need to finally convert.

AI verdict

SR 78 suggests ability but 7/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Shesthedevil

Jack Kearney 9%

Patrick Magee 8%

9-12

5/1 8/1 9/2

Shesthedevil landed a win two starts back but has since disappointed with a sixth, and while she has run over today's trip and going before, her our rating of 75 leaves her with something to find on the bare form carrying 138 lb from stall 7.

AI verdict

SR 73 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

High Morals

Age 2 · 9-8

820

Chris Hayes 9%

William Durkan 13%

9-8

10/1 11/1 17/2

High Morals ran a solid second two starts back and returns on a quick turnaround of just 16 days, with experience of today's distance and going working in his favour; the risk is that he has been winless in recent starts and must bounce back from an unplaced effort last time.

AI verdict

SR 60 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Celestial Crown

Age 2 · 9-3

2787

Ben Coen 11%

J. P. Murtagh 11%

9-3

10/1 9/1 10/1

Celestial Crown has experience over today's trip and going, and her second four starts back offers a platform, but she has been winless in recent starts with finishes of seventh, eighth and seventh suggesting she needs to find more to make a serious impact from draw nine off 129 lb.

AI verdict

SR 65 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Away And Gone

Age 2 · 8-13

747

Gavin Ryan 8%

Donnacha Aidan O'Brien 12%

8-13

SP 15/2 10/1

Winless in her last three starts and ranked eighth of nine on our figures, Away And Gone faces a stiff ask here; she has run over today's trip and going before, and a 46-day break plus draw three are the best angles on offer.

AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Howlin Wolf

Age 2 · 8-12

774

James Ryan 7%

Jack W Davison 9%

8-12

9/1 12/1 8/1

Winless in his last three starts, with a pair of sevenths before a fourth last time out, Howlin Wolf is hard to fancy from a ranking of seventh of nine, though he has experience of today's distance and going and returns after a 44-day break with conditions at least familiar.

AI verdict

SR 60 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Alrashdeyah

Age 2 · 8-10

408

Oisin Murphy 22%

Donnacha Aidan O'Brien 12%

8-10

17/2 11/2 17/2

Winless in her last three starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Alrashdeyah faces a stiff task here; she has run over today's distance and going before, and 44 days between runs suggests she returns fresh from stall four carrying 122 lb.

AI verdict

SR 61 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Mr Montauk

Age 2 · 8-8

57032

Declan McDonogh 9%

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 16%

8-8

7/2 5/2 7/2

Consistent placed efforts mark Mr Montauk out as a genuine threat here — third two starts back and a runner-up last time out, returning on a snappy 11-day turnaround having run over today's trip and going before, with our rating of 77 suggesting he's well ahead of his official mark; the risk is he remains yet to win in recent starts.

AI verdict

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Dylan Browne McMonagle 17%

W. McCreery 9%

10-1

15/2 15/2 13/2

Winless in her last five starts, Bundle Of Interest arrives on the back of a seventh just nine days ago, though she has run over today's trip and going before and our rating has her clear of a 16-runner field, making her the one to side with.

AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

J S Bolger 8%

9-12

10/3 7/2 3/1

Winless in her last six starts, Neo Smart nevertheless shaped with promise on her latest outing nine days ago and has experience of today's distance and going; the worry is her recent sequence suggests finding one too good.

Orla Tynan(7) 13%

9-9

20/1 FCST 18/1

Kitty Bear has run over today's trip and going, and her win in her last six starts shows she can find the line, but four unplaced or mid-field finishes in that sequence temper expectations; 135 lb from stall 15 adds further questions for this lightly tested filly.

AI verdict

SR 35 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

-75206

G. F. Carroll 10%

Gavin Cromwell 11%

9-8

9/1 10/1 9/1

Tofino has experience of today's trip and going, and our rating of 74 ranks her second of 16 — a strong case for her being the chief threat to the top-rated runner; the concern is she was second three starts back but has since gone unplaced and sixth, leaving her yet to win in her last five starts.

18/1 FCST 16/1

Pallatine Hills has run over today's trip and going, and with our rating of 74 putting him well clear of his official mark, he looks significantly thrown in on paper; the risk is that he has been winless in his last five starts, suggesting he may find a way to disappoint again.

Winless in her last five starts, Lamberella at least has experience of today's trip and conditions to call upon, and 36 days off may have freshened her; carrying 131 lb from stall three, however, she faces a stiff task off a mark of 67 against stronger rivals.

Ranked 14 of 16 on our figures, Alto Sax makes little appeal under 122 lb, and two of his last four starts have yielded a fifth and a ninth, though a runner-up finish two starts back shows he retains some ability, and he has run over today's trip and going before.

AI verdict

SR 40 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

Ranked top of the field on our rating, Sonoran arrives fresh on 36 days' rest and has run over today's trip and going, offering genuine each-way claims from stall one — though winless in his last five starts, and his last two efforts both finishing ninth, the upturn needs to come sharply.

Thyer has run over today's trip and going, and shaped with encouragement when third last time out after a testing spell; back within a fortnight and carrying 136 lb from stall six, his profile looks stronger than his official mark of 76 suggests, making him an appealing each-way proposition despite being winless in his last five starts.

8/1 FCST 15/2

Placed twice in her last six starts, including a second three runs back and a third four runs back, Great Mover has experience of today's trip and going and our rating of 88 makes her a leading threat — though the unplaced run last time is the obvious concern.

20/1 16/1 20/1

Unterberg has run over today's trip and going, and his two wins in his last six starts show he can find the winner's enclosure, though three subsequent starts have yielded little, including two eighths and an unplaced run last time out 15 days ago; the 133 lb burden is another obstacle to overcome from stall four.

AI verdict

SR 55 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

15/2 11/1 13/2

Won two starts back but has disappointed either side of that victory, finishing seventh on three of his last five starts, so consistency is the real question mark; has run over today's trip and going, carries 131 lb from stall two, and 20 days since his last run leaves him reasonably fresh.

Beaten a long way back in ninth last time out and ranked 11th of 12 on our figures, Nibras Rainbow is hard to fancy despite a third and two wins in earlier recent starts; a struggling trainer — winless in 21 attempts over the last 14 days — only adds to the concern, though he has distance and going experience to call on.

Cowardofthecounty showed genuine quality when winning four starts back, and a second two starts back underlines his consistency at this level; he has run over today's trip and going, returns fit on just ten days' rest, and his 105 rating suggests he has more to offer — though fifth last time out is the obvious concern.

Grayrobin arrives on the back of back-to-back wins, with that sole blip an eighth three starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going is a useful asset; the chief concern is whether 131 lb blunts his momentum.
