3:15 Thurles: Two-Mile Borris Handicap Hurdle (Div I)

Liceo P J O'Hanlon · Dermot A McLoughlin

Liceo comes here in solid nick, a second last time out and a fifth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, he's back after 33 days, and carrying 168 lb is the main risk.

Pakens Rock Niall Moore(5) · Donncha Duggan

Fifth last time out and fit after 25 days, Pakens Rock has run over today's distance and going before, and our rating of 112 ranks him second of 17 despite a 168 lb burden; the risk is that he is yet to win in his last five starts.

Titanium Kevin Healy(7) · Ciaran Murphy

Titanium has been unplaced in three of his last four, with a third three starts back the only bright spot, though he's fit enough after 11 days and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 168 lb off 100, he's yet to win recently, and our rating of 102 only ranks him sixth of 17.

Big Dee G B Noonan · Eoin Christopher McCarthy

Big Dee has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 106 ranks him third of 17, well clear of his official mark of 96 while he carries 164 lb after 39 days off. The risk is form that reads poorly: unplaced last time, a seventh two starts back and two pulled-up efforts before that.

Daisy Fingall Darragh O'Keeffe · Henry de Bromhead

Daisy Fingall was a second two starts back but has since managed only a seventh last time out, and she returns after 208 days off. She has run over today's trip and carries 163 lb, though she's yet to win in her last four starts and our rating of 92 has her eleventh of 17.

Duke Otto Conor Smithers(7) · Patrick J Flynn

Duke Otto has been out of the frame in his last four, including a pulled up three starts back, with a fourth five starts back his best recent effort, though he has run over today's trip and going and is fresh from just 11 days ago. A weight of 163 lb is a burden off 95, yet our rating of 103 ranks him fifth of 17.

Jaadil Patrick M O'Brien(5) · E McNamara

Jaadil was third last time out, and she's had 25 days to recover, but she's yet to win in her last five starts, with a ninth three starts back and a fall before that. She has run over today's trip and going, yet 160 lb and a ranking of tenth of 17 make this a midfield task.

Max Meridius Danny Gilligan · Thomas Mullins

Max Meridius has finished fifth in each of his last two starts and won four starts back, so he's consistent without quite getting his head in front lately. He has run over today's trip and going, and 23 days since his last run is fine, but 160 lb is a hefty burden, and our rating of 96 only ranks him seventh of 17.

Ddakji Mike O'Connor · Conor Houlihan

Ddakji is winless in his last five, finishing fifth last time out after a sixth, an eighth and a ninth, so it is hard to fancy him off 158 lb and an official mark of 90. He has run over today's trip and is fresh enough after 21 days, but our rating of 75 ranks him 16th of 17.

I Feel Fine Daniel King · M A Molloy

Without a win in his last five, I Feel Fine was unplaced last time, though a sixth two starts back and a fourth three starts back show he can be competitive, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 66-day break and 155 lb hold him back, though our rating of 92 sits above his official 87.

Grennanstown Lady Eoghan Finegan(5) · Gerard Keane

Winless in her last five, Grennanstown Lady at least arrives with a third last time out, 20 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 153 lb off an official mark of 85, she looks hard to fancy, with our rating placing her 15th of 17.

Arctic Piper Michael Kenneally(3) · R Donohoe

Arctic Piper bounced back with a third last time out after a run of ninth, unplaced, ninth and a faller, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 152 lb off 84 and winless in her last five, she looks a mid-pack type, though our rating of 93 hints at more.

Ozark's Walk Philip Byrnes · Riceal Dunne

Our top-rated runner, Ozark's Walk, has run over today's trip and going before, and his second five starts back shows the ability is there, though he's been unplaced in three of his last four after 129 days off. Our rating of 126 puts him clear of the field on 152 lb.

Polly Poppins Ethan O'Sullivan(7) · Bernard Martin Crowley

Polly Poppins is yet to win in her last six, and a ninth last time out follows a second two starts back, so she is hard to fancy; she has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days, but 152 lb is a big burden, and our rating of 87 ranks her 14th of 17.

Kidam Roque Anna McGuinness(7) · I Madden

Kidam Roque has been pulled up last time out and is winless in his last five starts, with an unseated and another pulled up in that spell, so the form is poor. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 93 sits well above his official 80, but 148 lb is a lot to carry.

Vairue Josh Williamson(3) · Ms Helen P Markham

Vairue is winless in his last five, with an unplaced effort last time, a fourth two starts back and a fall four runs ago, so he is hard to fancy at 144 lb. He is back quickly after 11 days and has run over today's trip and going, but our rating of 88 ranks him only 13th of 17.

Dark Berkshire Shane O'Callaghan(3) · P. J. Rothwell

Without a win in his last six outings, Dark Berkshire has finished ninth last time out, and a third five starts back is the only podium finish in that spell. He has run over today's trip and going and is back after 20 days, but our figures rank him last of 17.
