Runner by runner
She'll Be Kept Mr E M Nugent(7) · Brian M McMahon
Back-to-back winners three and four starts back, she's fresh after just 13 days and has run over today's trip, while our rating ranks her second of seven. The risk is obvious, though: she fell two starts back, was pulled up last time, and carries 166 lb.
Tir Og Cian Quirke · E Seymour
Our top-rated runner, Tir Og has run on today's going before and returns after 33 days off, and she's rated 115 by us, well clear of her official 108 under 163 lb. She's winless in her last five, though, with a fourth two starts back her best finish.
Fire Coral Phillip Enright · S Curling
Fire Coral won last time out and ran a third two starts back, having been fresh enough at 11 days since that success, and she has run over today's trip and going. Even so, she carries 153 lb off 98, and our rating of 95 ranks her sixth of seven.
Grace Faraday James Smith(3) · A. McCann
Won last time out and fresh enough after 29 days, Grace Faraday has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 101 ranks her fourth of seven; the risk is a 153 lb burden with an unseated two starts back.
Western Shores Danny Gilligan · Gordon Elliott
Western Shores is consistent, finishing fifth last time out and fifth again two starts back, and she has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 102 ranks her third of seven, 7 lb clear of her official 95, though she is yet to win in her last five and carries 150 lb.
Moonshine Girl Miss J Townend · Paul John Gilligan
Slipped up last time out, so there's little to take from that, and she's hard to fancy as our bottom-ranked runner on 147 lb, though a win two starts back and a quick 11-day turnaround count for something. She has run over today's trip and going before.
Isdistheone Michael Kenneally · Declan Queally
Seventh last time out after a third two starts back, Isdistheone is winless in her last five and a little patchy, though she has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 11 days. She carries 140 lb off 85, and our rating of 95 sits above her mark.
