AI Selections & Analysis (20 runners)
Eleanor Dumont is the standout based on her exceptional career record, boasting a 50% win rate and 67% place rate from only 6 starts. While barrier 12 is a slight concern, Patrick Payne is a master trainer and Billy Egan is a strong jockey. This horse is clearly progressive and looks to be the one to beat in this field.
Regal Surge comes from the powerful Ciaron Maher yard and has a strong win percentage from limited starts. While he hasn't placed yet, his two wins indicate talent. Barrier 9 is workable, and with the Maher polish, he's a serious contender with significant upside.
Both Sides Now has an excellent win percentage of 29% from limited starts, indicating a horse with upside. Barrier 7 is a good draw, and Declan Bates is a strong rider. This horse has the form and potential to be very competitive here, and the stable is in good form.
Papal Army has a solid place percentage and a good barrier draw in 4, which is a big advantage. Linda Meech is a strong rider who knows how to get the best out of her mounts. This horse could be an excellent each-way play, especially with the favourable run he should get.
Beach Pad boasts a strong win and place percentage and is still relatively lightly raced for a horse with four wins. John Allen is a top jockey, which is a big plus, but barrier 13 presents a significant hurdle for this runner. If he can overcome the draw, he's a definite threat.
Buzzaroon has a very good place percentage and a solid win rate, showing consistency. Barrier 3 is ideal, allowing for a good run in transit. Tom Madden is a capable jockey, and the Purcell stable can get them ready. This horse is a strong each-way chance with the draw.
Imminent Storm has a good place percentage and a reasonable win rate, suggesting he's often around the mark. Barrier 9 is acceptable, and Teo Nugent is a capable jockey. This horse could be a sneaky chance to run into the placings if he gets a good run and the pace is strong.
Overactive comes from a top stable in Freedman and has shown glimpses of ability, but barrier 15 is a major negative for this distance. His career strike rate is modest, and he'll need a perfect ride and plenty of luck to feature from out there. Jamie Mott is a capable rider to assist.
Early Warning has a decent place percentage and comes from a respected stable. Barrier 8 is acceptable, providing options. While his win rate is not outstanding, he often runs on for a minor placing, making him a potential each-way longshot if the pace is strong.
Hay Joe has a reasonable win rate but a very low place percentage, suggesting he's either winning or not featuring. Barrier 1 is excellent, which could help him get a soft run. However, the lack of a declared jockey is a concern, and he'll need to lift his game to compete with the top chances.
Sunsets has a high prizemoney total but a low win percentage, indicating consistency without often breaking through for a win. The wide barrier 10 is a concern, but the Hayes stable is always respected. Could be an improver if things go his way.
Habitein has a 25% win rate but no placings from 8 starts, suggesting an all-or-nothing type of runner. The lack of a declared jockey is a concern, and while barrier 5 is good, the overall profile indicates a horse that might struggle for consistency against this field. Needs to improve significantly.
Jet Jitsu has a decent number of wins but his place percentage is only 28%, suggesting he's either winning or not featuring. Barrier 15 is a huge disadvantage, and while Harry Coffey is a good jockey, it will be tough to overcome the draw and the competitive nature of this final.
Friday At Five is a veteran with a lot of starts but a low win percentage and a moderate place rate. Barrier 11 is not ideal, and while Ryan Houston is a decent jockey, it's hard to see this horse improving enough to win this final. Likely needs to drop in class to be competitive.
Gripping has a low win and place percentage from many starts, indicating he's a consistent battler rather than a winning prospect at this level. While barrier 5 is good, it's unlikely to be enough to overcome his overall form profile. Looks outclassed here.
Astradeel faces a significant challenge from barrier 14 in a large field, which will make it difficult to find a good position. While having plenty of career starts, his overall win and place percentages are low, suggesting he struggles to convert efforts into wins at this level.

Sir Rockford has a low win and place percentage from many starts, indicating he's likely found his level. Barrier 17 is a significant disadvantage, making it very hard to get into a winning position. This horse is likely outclassed in this final.
Pee Bee Noir has a very low win and place percentage from 19 starts, indicating he struggles to compete at this level. While barrier 6 is good, it's unlikely to compensate for the overall lack of form and class against this field. An outsider at best.
Spanish Snitzel has a very poor win and place percentage from a large number of starts, indicating he is well past his best or simply not up to this class. Barrier 16 is another major negative, making his task almost impossible. Highly unlikely to feature.
