Killarney Betting Odds

Low-mileage 5-y-o. Went close at Punchestown (3m) on return. Continued his sound start in handicaps with placed efforts at Listowel/Limerick since. May deservedly get his head in front this time.

Maiden pointer. Blotted his copybook when proving a very tricky ride on handicap debut at Sligo. In a better mood when third at Bellewstown (2½m) subsequently.

Lightly-raced maiden. Step back in right direction when 7¾ lengths fourth of 13 at Kilbeggan (2m) in late May. Well worth another try over this trip under less testing conditions.

Lightly-raced sort has been brought along steadily. Shaped as if ready for this step up in trip when 9 lengths fifth on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (2m) in late May. Likely improver.

Point winner. Much improved when making winning handicap debut at Fairyhouse (2m) in October. Backed that up when finishing fifth at Clonmel (better than result) 12 days on. Should come on for his reappearance in May and looks interesting tackling this sort of trip for first time in a handicap.

Close third on 2 of his 4 handicap hurdle starts last season, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Limerick. No impact in 2 runs over fences since, though reasonable to expect better returning to hurdles with cheekpieces refitted.

Veteran who hasn't tasted success since late-2022. Showed a bit more than on reappearance at Clonmel last time, but not enough to suggest he's ready to capitalise on falling mark.

Lightly-raced type. Showed up much better than previously (in refitted cheekpieces) when beaten just under 13 lengths at Kilbeggan (3m) last time. Drop back to 2½m could be in his favour on that evidence.

Fared no better when well held in first-time tongue strap on handicap bow at Sligo on Sunday. Market position (9/2) suggests that better may have been expected (yard had couple of similar handicap debutants show improvement last week).

Inconsistent performer who wasn't on a going day at Sligo on Sunday. RESERVE

Remains a maiden after 18 starts. Merit to the form of her penultimate third at Listowel. Had been on the go for a while when beaten 12½ lengths at this track on final start of last year. Could go well if ready to roll after 9-month break.

Fairly useful middle-distance Flat winner for David O'Meara. Well beaten at long odds on 3 hurdles starts around 2m for new yard. Now up in trip and opening mark potentially lenient given what he achieved on the level.

Well held in trio of maidens on soft/heavy, though he was back to something like his debut form on qualifying run at Clonmel in April. Could build on that now handicapping in first-time tongue strap.

Long-standing maiden. Typically carried little threat on return at Kilbeggan in late May.

Fourth in a Kilbeggan maiden (2m) before running no sort of race on handicap debut at Ballinrobe over same trip. Back up in distance following a short break, but it's hard to be confident.

Standout effort in heavy-ground maiden at Limerick last winter. Well beaten at long odds both handicap starts.

Sole win gained in September 2024. Looks of little account nowadays.
