The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Wecouldavehaditall52/100

   Form 90736 · Daniel McLoughlin · Paddy Harnett(3)

   Family: half-sister to Victory Folie (1 win from 16 runs). The dam has had 3 other runners, 2 of them winners.

   Wecouldavehaditall is a modest performer who has shown bits of ability across five starts without managing to win. He drops back to 7f having last run over 1m and now tries first-time headgear in a bid to spark improvement. The trainer has a 0% strike rate at Punchestown from one run, so the 17% strike rate of jockey Paddy Harnett from six rides at the track is the main positive from the partnership. From draw 3 he is expected to settle in midfield, which should be suitable given the anticipated tactical pace. Half-sister to Victory Folie who won once from 16 starts, with the dam having produced two winners from three other runners.

2. 2Margot Mae KTB Selection52/100

   Form 637554 · Mrs J. Harrington · Nathan Crosse

   Family: half-sister to Cashbox (2 wins from 10 runs). The dam has had 6 other runners, 3 of them winners.

   Margot Mae is a modest performer who has displayed consistent but limited ability in six starts with form figures of 637554. She drops back to 7f today, a trip at which she has been placed once from three attempts, having most recently contested a race over 1m0½f. Trainer Mrs J Harrington brings an 11% strike rate at Punchestown from 1,376 runs, in line with her record at other tracks, while jockey Nathan Crosse is 1-12 at the course. Usually racing prominently with a high-confidence run-style, she is well placed to take advantage of the muddling tactical pace from draw 6. Half-sister to Cashbox who won twice from 10 starts, with the dam having produced three winners from six other runners.

3. 3Miss Cornelia38/100

   Form 670 · Joseph G Murphy · G. F. Carroll

   Miss Cornelia is a modest performer who has shown little across her three starts to date. She drops back to 7f, a trip at which she has twice previously failed to trouble the judge. The trainer has a 4% strike rate at Punchestown from 54 runs, matching his record elsewhere, while jockey G F Carroll is still seeking a first winner from 19 rides at the track. Expected to settle in midfield, her positioning should align with the tactical nature of the race from the inside draw. With an official rating of 67 she remains in the mix on paper but has plenty to prove on what she has shown so far.

4. 4Darlene38/100

   Form 066 · Robson De Aguiar · Donagh O'Connor

   Family: the dam has had 1 other runner, not a winner.

   Darlene is a modest filly who has shown little in three starts, finishing sixth on both her latest two outings over this trip. The yard has yet to have a runner at Punchestown, while jockey Donagh O'Connor is 0-12 at the track. Trip looks suitable and she remains largely unexposed with only modest form on the page. Usually racing prominently, she should be able to take a handy position in a race lacking an obvious front-runner. From draw 2 she is well placed to contest the early fractions in what is set to be a tactical affair.

5. 5Gabby Hayes37/100

   Form 96630 · Noel Meade · Chris Hayes

   Family: half-brother to Irene May (3 wins from 14 runs). The dam has had 4 other runners, 2 of them winners.

   Gabby Hayes is a modest performer who has shown a bit of ability on his better days, placing once at this trip from five starts. Trainer Noel Meade has an 11% strike rate at Punchestown from 1,661 runs, below his 13% at other courses, while jockey Chris Hayes is 7% from 28 rides here. Usually held up, he will be looking to come from off the pace in a muddling tactical race. Half-brother to Irene May who won three times from 14 starts, with the dam having produced two winners from four other runners.

6. 6Knockraha Pa36/100

   Form 000 · Matthew J Smith · Robbie Colgan

   Family: half-brother to Corniche Girl (1 win from 18 runs). The dam has had 1 other runner, a winner.

   Knockraha Pa is a modest performer who has finished last on all three starts to date. He steps up to 7f having been beaten over the trip twice already without showing much. Both trainer and jockey record a 4% strike rate at Punchestown, in line with their figures elsewhere. Usually held up, he will need the race to fall apart in front if he is to feature. Half-brother to Corniche Girl who won once from 18 starts, with the dam having produced one other winner.
