HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Knocking on the door in novice/maiden company over the winter. Back to form following (10-week break) when fifth of 19 on handicap bow at Cork (19f) 5 days ago and a similar performance may be enough to take this.

Split a fairly useful pair at Downpatrick and ran to a similar level when third in Naas novice in early-February. May do better now upped in trip by top yard.

Unpromising in points but best effort under Rules when well backed third at Thurles on final start for William O'Doherty in February. Needs considering on first run for capable new yard.

Point/bumper runner-up didn't build on an encouraging stable debut (behind Ifallgoeswell) when fourth of 7 at Fairyhouse in February but could be worth another chance upped in trip following a short a break.

€16,500 Poet's Word gelding, half-brother to modest hurdler Luminaries (2½m-3m winner). Shaped like a stayer when midfield in a Naas bumper last December and should at least benefit from switch to hurdles/longer trips.

Berkshire gelding, half-brother to fair 2¾m hurdle winner He Knows Better. Justified support to make winning bumper debut at Thurles but well below that form at Leopardstown in December. One to consider if market expects a bounce back over longer trip on hurdles bow.

Inexpensive mare made more impact than previously when (4/1) fourth of 8 in a Tramore novice last October but will need to improve for the longer trip.

€10,000 3-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Race To Base. Pulled up sole start in points last December and hard to be confident ahead of this Rules debut.

Consistent in 2025 and made a respectable return at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, not seen to best effect.

Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage, his slow starts/free-going ways not helping.

Made a winning start on all-weather debut at Southwell (1m). Exploits mixed thereafter but recent efforts suggest he's threatening to come good soon.

Narrow winner over 7f here last summer and has been holding form well on AW on recent starts, including when second at Newcastle on return 2 weeks ago. Player with headgear back on.

Confirmed the promise of his recent placed efforts when finally off the mark at Newcastle 2 weeks ago, despite not racing efficiently. Up only 3 lb but yet to make much impact on turf.

Ended last season out of form but starts the new campaign off a winning mark as a result. Goes without usual headgear but ran well without it on comeback run last year.

Much improved when back-to-back winner in handicaps last summer. Excuses next 2 starts (too free upped markedly in trip at Southwell final run), so worth another chance on return.

Won 3 times for current yard last year. However, ended season out of form and always behind at Wolverhampton after 9 months off.

Unreliable individual who generally struggled for this yard last season.

Just modest form in 3 novices and failed to improve for the switch to handicaps at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Makes turf debut. Hood/tongue strap on 1st time.

Largely consistent on the back of breakthrough success at Ripon (1m) in June. Ended last season with a whimper but no surprise if he bounced back on return.

C&D winner. Veteran who showed signs of decline last season, though did manage to win at Beverley off 3 lb higher in May. Likely to need his after 6 months off.

Veteran scored twice in a patchy 2025 campaign, the latter coming at Redcar in October. Likely to have needed comeback run at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago but offered little all the same.
