The ReadCOMPOSED FROM THE MEASURES BELOW
Nothing separates the early types on measured speed — expect a fight for the front. Winners here typically raced recently (85% within 45 days) and were prominent in the betting (45% from the first three favourites); the typical winner also sits around 8th at halfway before quickening late, having spent about 50% of its energy before the final two furlongs. On the measured reads, FLIGHT CONTROL (IRE) leads on 89, 2pts clear of RETURN OF THE GODS (IRE) — one of the two strongest finishers here. Little to argue against on the measured reads — the only question is the price. The shape danger is KEEP AN EYE ON IT — concedes ~1.5L early to the quickest — a presser, not the leader, without over-committing — and finds plenty late. The market sees it differently, making MR NOBLE (IRE) the 17% favourite — a horse our figures rate 5th.
