The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Vision De Maine KTB Selection61/100

   Form /3PPP- · Emmet Mullins · Donagh Meyler

   Vision De Maine is a useful performer who has won twice over this trip from seven attempts and has placed twice from five starts on soft ground. His recent form is poor with three pulled-ups from his last four completed starts and he makes his first appearance at Galway today. Trainer Emmet Mullins and jockey Donagh Meyler both operate at their usual level here with 14% and 7% strike rates respectively. Usually held up, he produces his effort late. Rated 96, he has the ability to figure prominently if he can bounce back from those lacklustre efforts on this step back up to 3m.

2. 2Grace Faraday59/100

   Form 56-U12 · A. McCann · James Smith(3)

   Grace Faraday is a useful performer who has won two of her five starts at Galway and already has a win at this trip on her record. She showed improved form when landing a couple of minor events this summer before a recent unseat, though she is 0-3 on soft ground and steps back up in distance today. The trainer and jockey both record 6-8% strike rates here that sit broadly in line with their figures elsewhere. Usually races handily, on or close to the lead, she has course-winning form that could be important in a genuinely-run race. Rated 100, her record at this venue makes her a major player if the ground does not prove too testing.

3. 3Moonshine Girl56/100

   Form 2401S3 · Paul John Gilligan · Miss J Townend

   Moonshine Girl is a useful mare who won over hurdles here last season and has placed both starts at this trip. She steps up in distance again today having looked as though she would stay when last seen over 2m6½f, while the first-time headgear is an interesting addition on soft ground where she has already shown some competitiveness. Trainer and jockey both operate at their ordinary level at Galway. Usually held up and producing her effort late, she has a win from four runs at the track. Rated 93, the headgear and step up in trip could bring about further progress from this consistent sort.

4. 4Good World54/100

   Form P-047P · Eoin Griffin

   Good World is a useful performer on his day but has been out of form this year with a recent pulled-up effort. He has run three times at Galway without placing and his record on soft ground shows one placed effort from six starts. Stepping up to this trip today where he has won once from nine attempts, he usually races handily on or close to the lead. Rated 98, his best form would see him involved but the recent signs have been unconvincing and he needs to rediscover his spark.

5. 5Three Tribes53/100

   Form 1-PP94 · Barry T Murphy · Mr E M Nugent(7)

   Three Tribes is a fair performer who has shown little spark since his win last year and arrives on the back of two pulled-ups. He has been tried over this trip once without success and steps up from 2m5f today while having no experience on soft ground. The trainer holds a 12% strike rate at Galway from 34 runs in line with his record elsewhere while the jockey is 0-5 at the track. Usually held up and producing his effort late with high confidence in that assessment, he is rated 76 and will need to improve markedly on recent efforts.

6. 6Mr Dibbs52/100

   Form P-1860 · Gavin Cromwell · Keith Donoghue

   Mr Dibbs is a useful performer who has shown his best form over shorter trips and now steps up to 3m for the first time in first-time headgear.

7. 7Boola Times52/100

   Form P-3513 · David Kenneth Budds · Sean Flanagan

   Boola Times is a useful performer who has shown consistent form of late with a win and two placed efforts from his last four starts. He ran poorly on his only previous visit to Galway and has failed to place in three attempts on soft ground.

8. 8Diamond Dollar50/100

   Form 6511F- · C Byrnes · Philip Byrnes

   Diamond Dollar is a useful performer who showed solid form last season with two wins from his last four completed starts before falling in his final outing. He has won on soft ground from limited attempts and now tries this longer trip for just the second time while sporting first-time headgear.

9. 9Shotgun Jack49/100

   Form 90P09- · Alexander Ott · Luke Burke Ott(7)

   Shotgun Jack is a useful performer who has won over this trip and on soft ground. He has also won at Galway from four runs here, though both trainer and jockey have very small samples at the track. First-time headgear is now applied as he steps back up in distance.

10. 10Silin Alainn49/100

    Form 880/07 · Gavin Cromwell · Kevin Sexton

The trainer’s 7% strike rate at Galway is below his overall figure while the jockey’s 11% at the track sits in line with his general record.

    Imperial Tune is a fair 10-year-old who has been out of form lately with a string of poor efforts. He has no wins or places from four runs on soft ground and is making his first appearance at Galway. The drop back to 3m looks a neutral move given he has been placed at the trip without winning.
