The KTB Fit ranking
-
1Adversity KTB Selection52/100
Adversity made just one start so far and showed little at this trip. The yard has a solid 14% strike rate at Naas from a decent-sized sample. Both trainer and jockey records at the track are established but nothing to shout about, and the going remains an unknown on this soft surface.
-
2All Talk49/100
All Talk showed fair promise when finishing fourth on debut over 7f. He steps up to a new trip today which asks a fresh question of him. Trainer and jockey both have modest records at Naas.
-
3Don't Go Mad49/100
Has shown little in two runs to date and was well beaten when last of 15 on course debut here. The yard's modest 4% strike rate at Naas offers no encouragement, though the jockey's 10% record at the track is respectable. Trip and ground both remain unknown on this small-sample evidence.
-
4Admired Beauty49/100
Admired Beauty has shown fair form in three runs as a 2-year-old, including a placed effort on debut before two lesser displays. She steps up to 1m for the first time today which asks a fresh question of her. The Bolger yard has a solid 13% strike rate at Naas while Slattery's 8% record here is in line with market expectations.
-
5Angel Invincible48/100
Angel Invincible is a newcomer with no racecourse experience. The pedigree and sales background are not supplied so there is little concrete information to go on. Trainer Daniel McLoughlin has an 8% strike rate from 24 runs at Naas while jockey Nathan Crosse is operating at 5% from 212 rides here.
-
6Astroway48/100
Astroway is a debutant with no racecourse form to go on.

-

14Raygani45/100

-
15Sevengrandchildren44/100
Sevengrandchildren is a debutant with low data confidence so any read rests mainly on pedigree and sales background.
-
16Selosse44/100
Selosse showed fair promise when fifth on debut over 7f.
-
17Lady Lucille43/100
Lady Lucille is a newcomer with no racecourse experience so the assessment rests entirely on her pedigree and sales background.
