Curragh 16:45 Odds Comparison

Notched second success of 2025 in a Roscommon handicap (7,5f, good) in August but he's failed to make an impact since. Won this last year and has been given some help by the handicapper.

Proved progressive and reliable in a 2025 season that garnered 3 wins, latest at this course (6f) in August. Better for run when eighth of 21 in handicap (16/1) here (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Is unproven at this trip.

Won 26-runner C&D handicap in the mud in October. Creditable seventh of 14 in similar event at Limerick (1m, good to soft, 14/1) 9 days ago. Is probably a touch too high in the weights on recent form and looks vulnerable to younger types.

Runner-up 3 times at Dundalk after joining this yard but has yet to repeat those efforts in 2 turf starts. Remains to be seen if a first-time tongue strap and the refitting of cheekpieces bring out improvement.

Dual course winner. First run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when promising fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 4/1) in January. Is now 2 Ib below last-winning mark and has to be on the shortlist.

Won 3 times over 1m at Dundalk during the winter. Found things tougher back on the turf last time but isn't badly treated from a lower mark on this surface.

Sprang a surprise when winning 14-runner handicap (40/1) at Dundalk (1m) in November. Steps up in grade and is probably best watched on return.

Winner at Dundalk in February on yard debut. 4/1, quickly back to form when third of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m, soft) 23 days ago. Cannot be discounted upped in grade.

Veteran who finally got his head back in front at Dundalk (1m) last time after several good efforts in defeats this season. Raised 4 Ib but doesn't strike as an obvious sort to follow up.

Latest win at Roscommon in October. Best effort this season when fifth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (1m, good to soft, 14/1) 9 days ago. Has been given some further help by the handicapper.

Placed once from 6 outings last year for Simon & Ed Crisford. Has made a low-key start for this yard and makes little appeal at present.

Showed improved form in a switch of headgear when opening his account at Dundalk (7f) in March. Found only one too good both starts since and is entitled to be in the mix again.

Winner of a claimer at Dundalk in December. Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 10 to Comfort Line in handicap (7/1) at same course (1m) 11 days ago. Is up in grade but has yet to win a handicap.

Lightly-raced sort who opened his account in a Dundalk maiden (6f) in February. 14/1 and in first-time cheekpieces, respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 10 days ago. Is fitted with blinkers and will need to find improvement.

Showed some promise on debut over C&D last summer but has gone the wrong way since.

Successful 3 times at Dundalk during 2025. Bounced back to form when third at Cork 10 days ago. May struggle to repeat that effort in this field.
