The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Theanniversary Man KTB Selection69/100

   Form 1-P476 · James M Barcoe · Daniel King

   Theanniversary Man is a fair performer who has won over this trip and at this track. He showed little on yielding ground on his only previous try and now drops back in trip after recent modest efforts. The trainer operates at a 9% strike rate at Cork from 47 runs while the jockey is on 9% from 103 rides here, both figures in line with their records elsewhere. Usually held up and producing his effort late, he is well suited by the anticipated strong pace that could collapse. He has course winning form from two starts here and arrives as the KTB selection with a Fit score of 69.

2. 2Duce Bigalow65/100

   Form 221-32 · Colm Ryan · G B Noonan

   Duce Bigalow is a useful sort who arrives in solid form after two placed efforts this season. He drops back from 3m to a trip where he has been placed once from two starts though he has failed to win or place in three runs on yielding ground. The trainer has a 50% strike rate at Cork from a small sample of two runs while the jockey's 4% strike rate here is in line with his record elsewhere. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead, he will be right in the thick of the strong pace that is forecast. With a Fit score of 65 he is one of the main dangers.

3. 3Bridge View Star65/100

   Form 6646-U · W J O'Doherty · Philip Byrnes

   Family: half-brother to Rising Dust (6 wins from 26 runs). The dam has had 1 other runner, a winner.

   Bridge View Star is a useful performer who has been consistent enough in defeat without winning. He drops back to 2m today having failed to land a blow at the trip in three previous attempts. The trainer records a 7% strike rate at Cork from 27 runs while the jockey is on 8% from 77 rides here. Typically settling in midfield, he may benefit if the strong pace collapses late. Half-brother to Rising Dust who won six times from 26 runs, with the dam also producing another winner, he carries a Fit score of 65.

   Form 2-9130 · Adrian Murray · Eoghan Finegan(5)

6. 6Champagne Dawn58/100

   Form 0P-753 · T J O'Mara · Phillip Enright

7. 7Maxicourt54/100

   Form 7538U0 · Patrick J Duffy · Sean O'Keeffe

8. 8Maciver53/100

   Form 2P250- · A M O'Grady · John Aherne(7)

   Maciver is a useful performer on his day but has been largely out of form for some time and showed little spark when last seen. He has never won or placed in three runs at Cork and drops back to 2m today having failed to score at the trip in a previous attempt. The trainer's 6% strike rate at the track and the jockey's 0% from seven rides add to the negatives on a horse whose data confidence is high.

9. 9Duke Otto52/100

    Form 8-00 · Gavin Cromwell · Conor Stone-Walsh

    Messire Des Bordes is a useful performer on the back of three runs and an official rating of 94. Recent form of 8-00 offers little encouragement and he was beaten when tried at this trip last time. Trainer and jockey both operate at Cork with figures in line with their overall records.

    Form 9F1R56 · David Kenneth Budds · Danny Mullins

    Crypto Crash is a fair performer who has been a regular on the track but has failed to place in four runs at Cork. The yard's 5% strike rate at the course is in line with their record elsewhere while jockey Danny Mullins matches that pattern with his own 9% at Cork.

    Form P-069 · Eoin Christopher McCarthy · Simon Torrens

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

    Deeter is a useful performer who has struggled since a promising start, finishing well beaten on all three starts this year and showing no real spark. Has tried this trip three times without success and the small sample on yielding ground leaves his effectiveness on it unproven. Trainer and jockey both operate at a 5-6% strike rate here which sits in line with their records elsewhere. Typically settles in midfield.

19. 19Nameyourgame44/100

    Form 3P89-0 · Sean Thomas Doyle · Jordan Gainford

    Nameyourgame is a fair sort who has shown ability in a light career but arrives here on the back of a poor recent effort. He drops back in trip having failed to land a blow over 2m3f last time, with two previous runs at this distance also yielding no success. The yard's 15% strike rate at Cork is in line with their record elsewhere while the jockey's 8% at the track matches his overall figure. Typically settles in midfield.

    Form 0060-0 · Michael J McDonagh · Cian Quirke

    Sunrise Strider is a fair performer who has struggled since finishing sixth on debut, with four poor runs to follow and a latest effort that was well below form. He has no win or place from his only previous start at Cork and the yard's 0% strike rate from 109 runs here is below their record elsewhere. Dropping back to 2m poses a fresh question after his last run over further. Usually held up.

23. 23Vairue40/100
