The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1World Of Fortunes KTB Selection62/100

   Form /- · J W Kenny · Mr B T Stone(7)

   World Of Fortunes won the only time he has been to Listowel and holds a solid record on good ground with two wins from three runs. He is dropping back from his latest effort over three miles to an untried 1m6f today which asks a fresh question of him. Trainer and jockey both have very small samples at the track so their local form is hard to weigh up. Usually held up, he produces his effort late and will be hoping the steady pace allows him to weave a path through the field. The eight-year-old arrives as the KTB Selection with a Fit score of 62 and is taken to strike again at a venue where he has already shown his liking.

2. 2Enniskerry61/100

   Form 300/3- · Barry Connell · Mr Finian Maguire

   Enniskerry is a fair 12-year-old who won on his only previous visit to Listowel and has a strong record on good ground with six wins from 11 starts. He drops back from 2m to a trip he has won over before, which looks a sensible move given his recent placed efforts. The yard has a solid 31% strike rate at the track while the jockey is operating at 13%. Usually held up, he produces his effort late and should be suited by the steadily-run nature of the race. With a KTB Fit of 61 he is the closest pursuer to the selection and cannot be dismissed lightly on his course form.

3. 3Delta58/100

   Form 5-4024 · Joseph Patrick O'Brien · Mr J L Gleeson

   Delta is a useful performer who has run to a solid level on his last two starts without winning. He has placed three times from five runs on good ground and is dropping back to a trip where he has already shown some ability, though he has never won at this distance. The yard and jockey both have above-average records at Listowel, the trainer at 18% and the jockey at 21%. Usually held up, he will be produced late in a race that may not develop a strong pace. Rated 58 on the KTB Fit scale, he is firmly in the mix on his recent consistency.

4. 4Typical Thomas57/100

   Form 3/7-0 · James Andrew Fahey · Miss H Heffernan(7)

   Typical Thomas is a smart performer who has run well enough at this track in the past without winning. Dropping back from a stiff 2m4f last time should suit but he has been below form on his most recent start and the yard's modest strike-rate here adds a note of caution. Jockey is also winless from her six rides at Listowel. Usually prominent, he races handily and could set a steady gallop in a race that lacks an obvious leader. His KTB Fit of 57 keeps him in the conversation, though recent signs have been mixed.

5. 5Minella Hollow57/100

   Form /- · John J Nallen · Mr O McGill(5)

   Minella Hollow has shown ability on good ground with two wins from three starts, though his overall profile remains lightly raced after just seven career runs. He drops back from 2m to an untried 1m6f today which asks a fresh question of him. The trainer holds a solid 14% strike rate at Listowel from 36 runs while the jockey's small sample here makes his course record impossible to judge. Usually held up, he will look to come from off the pace in what is likely to be a tactical contest. The 57 KTB Fit score reflects a runner who retains potential if the trip proves within range.

6. 6Ben Vrackie51/100

   Form 074/0- · James Andrew Fahey · Miss H A Smith(7)

   Ben Vrackie is a fair 11-year-old who has shown only modest form in recent years and finished well beaten on his sole visit to Listowel. He has placed once from nine runs on good ground and has been tried five times at this trip without success. The trainer operates at a 5% strike rate here from 20 runs while the jockey has no recorded rides at the track.

7. 7Davy Crockett51/100

   Form 1 · W. P. Mullins · Mr P W Mullins

   Davy Crockett arrives off the back of a recent win and has already shown he handles this track by scoring here from his only start. He steps up in trip today for the first time which asks a fresh question of him. The Mullins team are both well established at Listowel with solid strike rates.

8. 8Maidenstreetprince50/100

   Form /- · C Byrnes · Miss A L Fitzgibbon(7)

   Maidenstreetprince returns from a long absence with 26 career runs behind him but no recent form to judge. The yard holds a modest 9% strike rate from 248 runs at Listowel while the 7lb claimer has had too few rides here to form any reliable view. He has failed to place in three runs on good ground and now drops back in trip to an untried 1m6f which asks a fresh question.

9. 9Quinta Do Lago46/100

   Form - · Mrs J. Harrington · Mr H C Swan

   Quinta Do Lago has shown ability in six starts over the past year but remains not fully exposed. The drop back from 2m3½f to 1m6f asks a fresh question while the good ground looks suitable on the basis of a previous win from a single run. Trainer Jessica Harrington has a 12% strike rate from 423 runs at Listowel and jockey Mr H C Swan is 13% from 30 rides here.

10. 10Antrim Coast45/100

    Form 3 · Rory Anthony Devine · Mr D G Lavery

    Antrim Coast has placed on good ground and at this trip, showing he can be competitive without winning. He finished a modest fifth on his only run here and his recent form is just a single third. The trainer has had too few runners at Listowel to judge while the jockey has a solid 14% strike rate from 21 rides at the track.

11. 11Anyway43/100

    Form 3/ · David Kenneth Budds · Mr D Doyle(7)

    Anyway has placed twice at this track but never won here in four runs and was pulled up on one visit. Drops back from 2m6f to a trip where he has been placed once without winning. Trainer remains winless from 38 runs at Listowel while the jockey has a modest 6% strike rate here.

12. 12Sunny South West43/100

    Form 2250 · Edward F Power · Mr J Dunne(7)

    Sunny South West is a fair performer who has been consistent this year with two seconds from his last four starts. He steps up in trip today having already placed over this distance without winning, and he handles good ground well with two wins and three places from six runs. Trainer has only a small sample here while the jockey has a modest 9% strike rate from 11 rides at the track.

13. 13Ebony King41/100

    Form 26 · A. Slattery · Mr A P Ryan(5)

    Ebony King has shown fair form on his last two starts and has already won on good ground from only two attempts. He is only lightly raced at this trip and remains open to improvement. The trainer has a modest 4% strike-rate at Listowel while the jockey is still seeking a first winner from 20 rides here.

14. 14Blue Train39/100

    Form 34312- · C Byrnes · Mr A D Bustin(7)

    Blue Train is a modest performer with a solid recent record of 34312 that includes two placed efforts on good ground from five attempts. Drops back from 2m1½f to an untried 1m6f today which asks a fresh question of him. Trainer has a 9% strike rate from 248 runs at Listowel while the jockey remains winless from five rides here.

15. 15Build A Bridge38/100

    Form - · Rory Anthony Devine · Mr E P O'Brien(5)

    Build A Bridge has shown little in nine runs and failed to place in three starts on good ground. He drops back from 2m2½f to an untried 1m6f today which asks a fresh question. The trainer has too few runs at Listowel to judge while the jockey's 2% strike rate from 41 rides here is modest.

16. 16Morse37/100

    Form 070-47 · Charles Weld · Miss A B O'Connor

    Morse is a modest performer with a patchy recent record of 070-47. Steps up in trip to an untested 1m6f today which asks a fresh question, while two runs on good ground have produced no win or place. Trainer has only two runs at Listowel which is too small a sample to judge, though the jockey holds a solid 16% strike rate from 31 rides here.

17. 17Kidam Roque35/100

    Form 5-4870 · I Madden

    Kidam Roque is a limited performer who has struggled to make an impact in nine starts this year. Drops back from 2m3f to an untried 1m6f today which asks a fresh question while the yard has failed to land a winner from 37 runs at Listowel. Only one run on good ground adds to the unknowns.
