127

9-2

50/1

Sired by Arizona and bought for just 5,000 euros, this filly rates a modest 46 on debut, our outsider here. A dam who was useful over a mile and a half-sister who shone at six furlongs offer encouragement, but she still has plenty to find against this field.

AI verdict

Long-shot 50/1 odds and a low Saturday Rating of 127 signal minimal market confidence in this filly's winning chances.

9/4 FCST 2/1

A notable 200,000-euro breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation, she's out of a dam who excelled over five and six furlongs as a juvenile, with a half-sister useful at a mile, and rates second-highest here at 75. She may just need this experience before showing her best.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 154 combined with competitive 2/1 odds and a 9-2 weight assignment signals strong winning credentials in this fillies maiden.

16/1 16/1 14/1

A costly 135,000-euro daughter of Mehmas, out of a dam smart over seven furlongs at two, rates a strong 73 with us. The yard is out of sorts lately (just one success from 20 runners), so she's perhaps one to note rather than side with on debut.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 138 with 16/1 odds and unknown form signals limited market confidence despite carrying 9-2.

10/1 12/1 10/1

A 160,000-euro filly by Minzaal whose unraced dam is a half-sister to a Graded-placed performer in the US, she's only our second-lowest rated runner here at 62 on debut. The yard is firing on all cylinders currently, which offers her the best chance of outrunning that figure.

AI verdict

At 14/1 in the market carrying 9-2, My Irish Lady's Saturday Rating of 140 shows mid-tier potential without form to justify confidence.

4/1 7/2 10/3

Fifth on her only start, beaten four lengths in a maiden here, this filly races back over the same course, distance and good going just ten days later and rates 74 with us, third best in this field. A wide stall is the obvious concern, but there should be more to come.

AI verdict

Rated 152 on Saturday Rating with solid 4/1 market support and a competitive 9-2 weight, Shi Yang shows strong each-way claims.

2/1 FCST 32/17

Beaten nine lengths on her Curragh debut, this filly steps out for a trainer with a strong record at today's track and rates 81 with us, the highest in this field, over suitable trip and ground. A six-week break is the only slight worry.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 154 and 2/1 market support give Snowing strong claims despite a single fifth-place form figure.

A 110,000-euro daughter of No Nay Never, out of a dam smart over six furlongs at two and with a half-sister who shone at a mile, rates 73 with us. The stable landed this race last year and clearly respects her chance on debut.

AI verdict

Midfield market position at 13/2 and a Saturday Rating of 149 under 9-2 weight suggest solid but unspectacular winning prospects.

16/1 FCST 14/1

Sixth then fourth in two starts, including when well held stepped up in grade at this course last time, this speedily-bred filly rates 68 with us. A short break and a yard in good form both work in her favour, but she needs to leave those below-par efforts behind her.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 141 and 9-2 weight show potential, but 14/1 odds and form figures of 46 limit confidence.

10/3 FCST 11/4

Fairyhouse last time was a stay-related flop over six furlongs, but this gelding won going away before that and drops back to the minimum trip today over conditions that suit. Rated 99 with us, fourth in this quintet, he can bounce back for a trainer in form.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 99 and fair 7/2 odds are offset by inconsistent 48-417 form and a hefty 9-11 weight.

A consistent sort who ran creditably in defeat in a Listed race at Cork last time, this gelding wears a tongue-tie for the first time and rates the pick of this quintet at 101. A strongly run five furlongs on a sound surface should suit down to the ground.

AI verdict

Keke's Saturday Rating of 106 and consistent recent form (5-8135) at 6/4 justify four stars despite carrying 9-10.

9/4

Below her best when never a threat from off the pace at the Curragh last time, this filly still rates second-highest in this quintet at 100 with us, and her share of places shows she's competitive at this level. A modest strike-rate is the concern, but she's respected on figures.

AI verdict

Recent form of 622429 and a Saturday Rating of 108 at 9/4 suggest mid-tier claims, not market dominance.

A genuine speedster who performed up to expectation when beaten four lengths in a Listed race at Ayr last time, this filly rates 99 with us, third of this quintet, and looks sure to relish a sharply run five furlongs. Faster ground would be the ideal conditions for her.

AI verdict

Rated 94 with patchy form (47-107) and 15/2 odds suggest mid-tier market confidence, justifying a modest 3-star rating.

14/1 FCST 12/1

This filly won readily by a length and a half in a Cork maiden last time but faces a stiff step up in company here, rating only 85 with us, bottom of this quintet. Versatile on ground and effective at both five and six furlongs, she's up against much higher-rated rivals today.

AI verdict

Xerling's 78 Saturday Rating and 12/1 odds reflect a market lacking confidence despite recent form showing a win and second.

A close second, beaten only a head in a maiden at this course last time, this colt showed clear progress from debut and rates 87 with us, mid-field of ten. He needs more again stepping up in grade, and has had a lengthy break, but conditions should suit.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 151 and competitive 5/1 odds justify confidence despite a modest form figure of 82.

8/15 1/2 9/17

Well beaten in a Group 2 at Ascot last time over the minimum trip, this colt seemed to want further that day. His overall form, including a recent win, still marks him out as the one to beat here, rating top of this field at 101, with his trainer excelling at this course.

AI verdict

Rated 108 with solid 2129 form, Carry The Flag's 4/7 odds confirm strong market confidence despite carrying top weight of 9-5.

18/1 16/1 18/1

Third, beaten a length and a quarter, when dropped to five furlongs on good ground at Navan last time, this colt looks capable of more but may need it stepping up in company. He rates 84 with us and is versatile at both five and six furlongs on soft or good.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 73 and 16/1 odds in a Listed race expose Hanney Boy as a significant market outsider with limited winning form.

An 82,000-euro breeze-up purchase by Space Blues and half-brother to the high-class Thunder Beauty, a mile performer, this colt rates a bold 89 with us on debut, third in this field of ten. It's admittedly a stiff task first time out, but the pedigree package points to a leading threat.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1 and unknown recent form undermine Rejoinder's solid Saturday Rating of 130, despite a competitive 9-5 weight.

66/1 FCST 50/1

Beaten eight lengths on debut in a maiden at Navan, this filly has speed in her pedigree and should take a step forward for that initial experience, but she rates bottom of this ten-strong field at 74 with us. She looks to have plenty to find against these rivals.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 80/1 and a single form figure of 6 undermine confidence despite a 127 Saturday Rating.

33/1 28/1 25/1

Sent forward too soon and outclassed when comfortably held in a 2yo race at the Curragh last time, this filly needs to recover that form and rates 84 with us, mid-pack in this field of ten. Speedily bred and suited by sound ground, she has been fairly fresh off an eleven-week break.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 52 and poor recent form (236) at 33/1 make Belle Island an unconvincing outsider in this Listed contest.

W. J. Lee 16%

Below her best when beaten seven lengths in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Ascot last time, this filly - fitted with cheekpieces today - had been progressive before that, including a win, and rates 94 with us, second of this ten. She's effective over five and six furlongs on quicker ground, though that Ascot run did expose some limitations up in grade.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 94, consistent form (3210), and fair 11/2 odds at 9-0 weight make Big Negotiator a strong each-way contender.

She's effective at both five and six furlongs on a sound surface, though there's plenty more required to confirm that improvement at this level.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 72 and poor recent form (3751) at 18-1 make Brazilian Diva an unconvincing outsider in this Listed contest.

Beaten ten lengths and never landing a blow from off the pace in a maiden at this course last time, this filly rates 80 with us, ninth of this ten-strong field. Effective over five furlongs on soft ground for a trainer in good form, she's difficult to recommend on this evidence.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 130 shows ability, but 25/1 odds and poor recent form of 27 undermine confidence.

AI verdict

Matriarchal's Saturday Rating of 78 and 14/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects despite solid recent form of 4315.

13/2 11/2 6/1

Stepped up in grade and below form when beaten eight lengths off a 74 rating last time, this filly races 2lb lower today and wears cheekpieces for the first time. Admittedly inconsistent, she rates 81 with us, third of this large field, and has previously won from the front over this trip on good or all-weather ground.

AI verdict

Rated just 69 with inconsistent form (622519) and carrying 10-2 at 6/1, Arctic Steps lacks the profile to win.

Form has faded across a run of six of late, though this gelding performed up to that level when beaten five lengths in a handicap at the Curragh last time. He wears a tongue-tie for the first time today, rates 73 with us, mid-field of thirteen, and is best served by yielding or good ground over this trip.

AI verdict

Poor recent form of -67060 and a low Saturday Rating of 54 combine to justify 11/1 odds and 1/5 stars.

Race fitness issues have hampered this gelding, though he carries a fair mark on his best form and lines up from stall thirteen wearing blinkers for the first time. He went too freely too soon at a stamina-sapping track last time, well beaten in a handicap at Navan, but rates 74 with us in this field of thirteen and is suited by five furlongs on good ground.

AI verdict

Lethimfly's poor form (30-200), high weight of 9-12, and 11/1 odds reflect a 58 Saturday Rating with little market confidence.

Below form when eased off having missed the money in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time, this gelding nonetheless carries a good mark on his all-weather form and had won not long before that. He rates 83 with us, second of this large field, and is effective at five and six furlongs on going from good to yielding.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a Saturday Rating of 60, weak recent form 1-0469, and 11/1 odds signal minimal market confidence.

Down the field in a handicap at this course last time, this filly looks up against a stiff mark and rates bottom of this field at 64 with us. Fitted today with both a tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time and drawn wide, she's been inconsistent and has plenty to prove, though she is effective over six furlongs on soft or good ground.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 46, poor form (254-90), and 22/1 odds signal White Smoke holds little realistic winning chance.

Performed to expectation when beaten three and a half lengths off a 3lb higher mark at Dundalk last time, this gelding returns from a lengthy break wearing cheekpieces for the first time from a wide draw. He rates 73 with us, mid-field of thirteen, and can defy the layoff to go well again on a sound surface over this trip.

AI verdict

Rated just 65 with poor recent form (08-364) and carrying 9-11 at 4/1, Bold Optimist offers little appeal as a non-favourite.

Landed a handicap by two lengths off a 6lb lower mark at Down Royal last time, this gelding is up in the weights again today but rates top of this large field at 84 with us. Effective at both five and six furlongs on soft or good ground, he holds obvious claims of building further on that latest success.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with inconsistent form (023641) and a modest Saturday Rating of 72 limits Nouvel Espoir's claims at 7/2.

Off the track for the best part of a year, this filly was never a factor when beaten five and a half lengths in a nursery at Cork on her latest start. She rates 66 with us, well down this field of thirteen, drawn wide, and needs more to figure back after such a long layoff despite being in good form before that run.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of just 46, poor form of 6350-, and 22/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects for Ardadslosttheplot.

Down the field in a maiden at Cork last time, this filly has been somewhat below par of late but drops back into a handicap today for a trainer who excels at this course. She rates 78 with us, fourth of this large field, and is effective at both five and six furlongs on soft or good ground, though more consistency is needed.

AI verdict

Form figures of 50-400 combined with a low Saturday Rating of 56 and 12/1 odds signal little winning chance.

Faded to finish sixth, beaten six and a quarter lengths off a rating of 62 last time, a below-par effort from this gelding who has won and been runner-up twice in recent starts. Racing off the same mark today, he rates 72 with us, mid-field of thirteen, and needs to turn that form around on ground from soft to all-weather over this trip.

AI verdict

Rated 64 with fair 6/1 odds and recent form showing a win two runs back, Jordan Breeze carries 9-6 competitively.

Stepped up in grade and well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk last time, this gelding is an unknown quantity following his time off and rates near the foot of this large field at 66 with us. He wears a tongue-tie for the first time and is best served by all-weather ground at five or six furlongs.

AI verdict

Billboa's dismal form of 05-708, long odds of 22/1, and low Saturday Rating of 38 make this 9-4 weighted runner a hopeless outsider.

8/1 9/1 13/2

Quick to reappear just three days after a below-par effort in a handicap at Fairyhouse, beaten five and a quarter lengths, this gelding rates 72 with us, mid-field of thirteen, and carries a fair mark provided he rediscovers that form. He's fitted with both a tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time and is effective at five or six furlongs on soft or good ground.

AI verdict

Tawaazon's poor form (0-4029), low Saturday Rating of 53, and 12/1 odds reflect limited winning prospects here.

14/1 FCST 12/1

Performed up to par when beaten four and a quarter lengths in a handicap at this course last time, this gelding had been going well before that including a win, and returns fitted with a tongue-tie and visor for the first time. He rates 67 with us, near the foot of this large field, for a yard short of recent success, and needs to find extra to get his head in front off that mark.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 50, 14/1 odds, and inconsistent form showing two non-completions limit Phil's Dream's chances significantly.

Found the company too strong down the field in a Listed race at Ascot last time, though the runner-up effort before that is more encouraging form. Well suited by this going, and with room for improvement now stepping up in trip again, he's yet to win in two starts but rates a workable 86 for this test.

AI verdict

Moderate 5/1 odds, a Saturday Rating of 146, and recent form showing a win followed by a second suggest solid but not elite contention.

A big impression on debut, third but beaten 11 lengths in a maiden at Gowran Park, points to more improvement with today's trip already proven. Regarded as having real physical scope, though this looks a tougher task, and he's yet to win, rated 90.

10/1 15/2 17/2

Disqualified last time, but the placed effort before that reads well — second beaten just a length in a novice at York, finishing in a manner that suggested today's step up to a mile would suit even better. A stronger sort with more still to come, but the disqualification leaves a query, and he's rated bottom of the pack on today's figures at 84.

AI verdict

Ranting Duke's 143 Saturday Rating has potential but 10/1 odds, 9-4 weight, and patchy 52D form limit confidence to a mid-tier three stars.

20/1 FCST 18/1

A daughter of Blue Point out of a dam who was herself useful at 6f as a two-year-old, this 100,000-euro breeze-up purchase is a half-sister to the useful Temple Of Hera and, foaled in February, should already have the scope for this level. She steps out without any recorded form, though, and the view is that debut success may be a stretch, so respect for the pedigree should be tempered by that first-time question mark.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1 and a Saturday Rating of 129 signal limited market confidence against stronger, better-fancied rivals.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 14/1 and a single recent form figure of 5 limit confidence despite a competitive 136 Saturday Rating.

By Wooded and out of a family that includes a 7f winner in France, this 41,000-euro purchase — foaled in February — arrives with physical maturity and pedigree appeal, and the yard have a reputation for readying newcomers. It's a stiff race for a debutant, though, with this outing viewed more as an educational run than a serious tilt, on a rating of 93.

AI verdict

Long odds of 33/1 and unknown recent form make Cedrela a 127-rated outsider with little market confidence.

8/1 FCST 13/2

A below-form fourth at Fairyhouse last time, beaten 10 lengths, follows a third and a win before that, so there's more substance here than the latest line suggests. Up to a mile now, with course, distance and good ground all in her favour, she's a leading threat on 97.

AI verdict

Rated 89 with inconsistent 134 form and 9/1 odds suggest Dancing Destiny is a mid-tier contender carrying 8-7.

9-12

100/1 FCST 50/1

Struggled on her only start, well beaten in a maiden at Ballinrobe, with a great deal of improvement needed to figure at this level. Unproven over today's trip, and rated bottom of the field on 48, she has plenty to prove against this field.

AI verdict

A single run with no success, 125/1 odds, and a Saturday Rating of 122 signal minimal winning prospects.

100/1 FCST 50/1

Struggled to see out the trip when down the field in an auction race at The Curragh last time, continuing a run of four starts without a win. Conditions have yet to click for her, and although today's distance has been covered before, plenty more improvement is needed on a rating of 54.

AI verdict

Extreme 200/1 odds and a winless 00/00 form record make Wheres The Gold a highly unlikely contender despite carrying 9-12.

Shane Foley 11%

Mrs J. Harrington 10%

9-3

11/4 FCST 5/2

A below-form run last time, failing to last home over 10f down the field in a maiden at Gowran Park, should find today's shorter trip much more to her liking, a distance she's already proven over. A third and a fourth also feature in four starts, and with course and going both suiting, she's one of the leading dangers on 76.

AI verdict

Bofa Beach's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 85, inconsistent form of 40-39, and 5/2 odds suggest fair chance but not dominance.

20/1 16/1 20/1

Bred with stamina in mind, she matched recent expectations when beaten 8 lengths in an auction race at Leopardstown last time, having come back from a break, with a seventh the run before. Further progress looks more likely in handicaps down the line, and she's up against it on a rating of 60 today.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 138 with 16/1 odds and poor form figures of 76 signal minimal market confidence.

Mai Dahlia

Dylan Browne McMonagle 17%

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 16%

9-3

5/6 FCST 2/3

Market support followed her into a maiden at Fairyhouse last time, and she rewarded that faith with a second, beaten 6 lengths, backing up a third before that. Today's mile and good ground are both proven, and with room for more up in trip plus a first-time tongue-tie added, she's a leading contender on 76.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 91 and consistent form figures of 32 back her strong 10/11 market position, but non-favourite status limits confidence.

6/1 FCST 5/1

A well-beaten eighth here last time, some way below her true level, came after a sixth on her only other start, and there's scope for a little natural progress now that early experience is banked. A tongue-tie is added for the first time, and having had only a short break since, she's a workmanlike 60 on today's figures.

AI verdict

Form figures of 68 and 13/2 odds suggest mid-tier potential, with a Saturday Rating of 149 reflecting modest expectations.

13/2 FCST 6/1

By Night Of Thunder and out of a useful mare who excelled at 7f, this newcomer is also a half-sister to the useful Simiyann, effective over twice the trip, giving her a broad spread of inherited ability. The stable have a solid record in this race, taking it twice in the last nine runnings, and although the view is that watching her debut may be wiser than backing it, she rates the one to beat on 77.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 150 and competitive 9-3 weight give Sibaza strong claims despite 6/1 market odds.

20/1 16/1 20/1

A Gleneagles filly who cost 23,000 euros, there's a professional pedigree and price tag behind this newcomer suggesting physical promise. The concern is that today's race looks a stiff test for a first assignment, so she may need the experience before showing her true colours, rated 64.

AI verdict

Long odds of 16/1 and an unknown form record undermine Xirivella's market confidence despite carrying 9-3.

W. J. Lee 16%

12/1 11/1 12/1

Held comfortably in a handicap at Down Royal last time, continuing a run of below-form efforts, but with course, distance and cut in the ground all proven and a first-time tongue-tie now added, there could be more to come off a mark of 60. A return to form is needed, but he tops our figures at 74 as the most likely.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 47, inconsistent form of 087-85, and 11/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in Chapel Island.

Ben Coen 11%

A Oliver 11%

13/2 11/2 6/1

Market confidence followed him into a handicap at Down Royal last time, and although beaten 8 1/2 lengths in fourth, that run has since been given a boost, with more progress expected. A second features among his last five starts, and with course, distance and going all proven, plus a first-time tongue-tie added, he's a fair each-way sort at 64 off a mark of 60.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with a moderate Saturday Rating of 54 and poor recent form of 00-824 limits Connecteo's prospects at 11/2.

Landed a handicap readily at Ballinrobe last time, beating that field by 3 1/4 lengths, and the belief is there's more to come. That success, though, came from 12lb lower than today's mark, so she must defy a substantial rise, but on today's proven going she still rates one of the leading dangers on 72.

AI verdict

Rated 62 with solid recent form (090461) but carrying top weight 9-13 at 9/4 limits confidence.

Struggled to see out the trip when down the field in a handicap at Down Royal last time, though he's already shown ability at 7f to a mile and should get further as he matures. A first-time hood is added today, and with a mark of 59 that looks full value already, he's up against it to improve much more, rated 65.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 29, 50/1 odds, and form reading 750-09 combine to make The Holy Apostle a near-hopeless contender carrying 9-13.

Adam Caffrey 9%

12/1 11/1 10/1

A blend of speed and stamina in the pedigree gives hope that today's step up in trip could suit, though his recent handicap form has been well beaten, most recently at Fairyhouse. Major improvement is still needed to justify a rating of 71 against a mark of 56, but he's included among the leading dangers on our figures.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 41, poor form figures of 0-0067, and 14/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in Captain Con.

Point Cartwright

R. P. Whelan 9%

Adrian McGuinness 9%

5/2 5/2 9/4

The trip suited well when beaten just 3 1/2 lengths at Limerick last time, off a mark 2lb lower than today's, and with further scope to go up again in distance, there's more to come. Course, distance and going are all proven, and he's rated 70 on our figures, though the yard's recent form is subdued, with just one winner from 27 runners in the last fortnight.

AI verdict

Modest Saturday Rating of 56, uninspiring form figures of 90-952, and a burdensome 9-8 weight undermine Point Cartwright's 3/1 market position.

Sadhbh Tormey 5%

T G McCourt 7%

33/1 33/1 28/1

Raced too freely and faded late when stepped up in trip last time, comfortably held in a handicap at Down Royal, and with a sharper 7-8f seemingly more her game, today's even longer test looks a stretch further. Results have been mixed through a short career, leaving her towards the back of the pack on 55.

AI verdict

Odds of 33/1, a Saturday Rating of just 27, and form showing 990-05 make Maker's Mark an extremely unlikely contender.

Declan McDonogh 9%

7/1 6/1 7/1

Returned to form when beaten just 2 1/2 lengths off this same mark at Leopardstown last time, and with a string of fourths through his recent starts, he's a picture of consistency if unspectacular. Conditions today are already proven, and there's a fair chance again on a rating of 57 against a mark of 52.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of just 51 and uninspiring form of -40484 at 6/1 makes Nephin Mountain a weak contender.

The trip suited well when beaten 7 lengths in a handicap at Leopardstown last time, and she acts on cut ground, which should be relevant again. Further middle-distance targets look the long-term plan, and with cheekpieces fitted for the first time today, she's rated 56 against a mark of 51.

AI verdict

Millhone's Saturday Rating of 34, poor form of 00-079, and 18/1 odds signal a market outsider with little winning chance.

Tracking the pace too keenly told when beaten 7 lengths in a handicap at Dundalk last time, and although the mark keeps easing, the overall form has faded, a concern after 155 days off. Effective at 7-8f and adaptable on turf and all-weather, with a tongue-tie fitted for the first time, she's rated 57 against a mark of 51.

AI verdict

Wingit's Saturday Rating of 32, poor form of 0060-6, and 20/1 odds signal a market outsider with little winning chance.

Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time today, and with today's going already proven, she's rated 66 against a mark of 50, in the middle of this large field.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 31, poor form figures of 0967, and 20/1 odds signal market rejection and negligible winning prospects.

50/1 50/1 40/1

Out of sorts of late, well held in a claimer at Ballinrobe last time, but a first-time visor and a fresh break since could bring about a change of fortune. She stays 7f and handles good and all-weather ground, and although out of form recently, she rates a workable 69 against a modest mark of 47.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 24, combined with 50/1 odds and a winless form of 70-006, makes Darwin's Angel a rank outsider.

The trip played to his strengths when third, beaten 7 lengths, in a handicap at Gowran Park last time. There's a speedy pedigree behind him best suited to 6f, though he still needs more to make an impact in handicap company, and he's rated low in the weights on 52 against a mark of 42.

AI verdict

Cadreville's Saturday Rating of 37, weak 880-03 form, and 14/1 odds signal negligible winning prospects in this handicap.

A workmanlike sixth, 6 1/4 lengths back, in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time, and he's rated better over a shorter 7f, which is a query at today's longer trip. Heavy ground would bring out the best in him, and on a rating of 59 against a mark of 42, he's around the middle of this field.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 22, combined with 25/1 odds and uninspiring form of 005-06, makes Canon Law a poor prospect.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 22, 66/1 odds, and form reading 996-00 combine to make Jewels Legacy a rank outsider with no winning case.

Well held in a handicap at Down Royal last time, though a pair of thirds beforehand points to a better level, and there's a squeeze into contention if she can build on that last experience. Course, distance and going are all proven, and a first-time hood is added for a possible boost, rated 57 against a mark of 51.

AI verdict

Rated just 49 with poor form (-00336) and drifting at 9/1, Swift Charm carries 9-5 with little evidence of a winning turnaround.

AI verdict

Flagstone Lady's Saturday Rating of 38, 16/1 odds, and poor form of 8060 make her a rank outsider carrying 9-7.

Pulled hard and could only manage fourth, beaten 10 lengths, in a claimer at Ballinrobe last time, and she's yet to show any real ability through her recent starts so far. First-time cheekpieces are added in an attempt to settle her better, and on a rating of 54 against a mark of 40, she's rated at the bottom of this field.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 22, 50/1 odds, and form showing 099604 expose Music And Song as a clear outsider with no winning claims.

8/1 FCST 15/2

Failed to settle down the field in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time, a disappointing return that raises a slight question mark, but a pair of wins earlier in that sequence showed she's clearly up to this level. Course, distance and good ground are all proven, a first-time tongue-tie is added to help her relax, and with the trainer in good form, she's a leading danger on 91 despite that below-par latest run.

AI verdict

Suzie Songs rates 3/5 with a Saturday Rating of 96 and 8/1 odds, but form reading 1127-0 and top weight of 9-12 limit confidence.

Down the field in a Group 3 at Chantilly last time, well below the level shown when winning two starts back, and this stable has a good record in this event, having taken it last year. Course and distance form is there, but 81 days since her latest outing and only a moderate recent level leave her the outsider of this six on a rating of 86.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 94 and consistent form (14-0) are offset by 8/1 odds and top weight of 9-10.

Below-par down the field in a Listed race at Newbury last time, tried in cheekpieces without success, but that followed a good run of form beforehand, and a drop back in grade today should suit. Course, distance and good ground are all proven, and he's rated a leading danger on 89.

AI verdict

Frescobaldi's poor recent form (153-50), Saturday Rating of 87, and 14/1 market drifting make this 9-8 weighted runner an unlikely winner.

Stepped up in trip to win a 3yo race at Fairyhouse by 3 lengths last time, backing up a progressive profile that suggests there's more to come back in handicap company. Course, distance and good ground are all proven, a first-time tongue-tie is added, and with the yard in excellent recent form, he heads our figures at 91 as the horse to beat.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 105, competitive 5/4 odds, and consistent form figures of 24-191 carrying 9-6 justify the strong 4-star assessment.

Backed up a winning debut by matching that level when third in an auction race at Roscommon last time, and he's clearly held in high regard as a smart prospect. Today's step down in trip is the obvious question given he looks better served by galloping on further, with 10f his proven trip on easy or good going, leaving him respected but with a slight query on 88.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 93 and consistent form of 13 at 9-0 suggest mid-tier potential at 11/2.
