AI Top 3 Picks
Sir Galahad (IRE)
J: S Bowen · T: O Murphy
Sir Galahad represents a powerful trainer-jockey combination in O Murphy and S Bowen, who often excel with their novice hurdlers. This horse likely possesses solid potential and will be well-prepared…
One Knight (IRE)
J: Cameron Johnstone-Baker · T: Miss E C Lavelle
One Knight comes from a yard that consistently produces competitive runners in novice company. Expected to be fit and ready, offering a strong challenge for a place given the small field.
Fiskardo (IRE)
J: Shane Fenelon · T: M Bowen
Fiskardo could benefit from the local knowledge of trainer M Bowen and has the potential to run into the frame. A solid contender for a minor placing if the pace is suitable.
