Joshua ChamberlainAre You BusyJourney So Far

Butterfly Mountain will lead from the outset with no obvious pace rival, setting a steady tempo through the early stages. Giant Haystacks and Parkgarve may track prominently but neither appears inclined to press hard early. The uncontested lead will allow Butterfly Mountain to dictate terms before the inevitable challenge comes from hold-up horses like A Snow White Park, Joshua Chamberlain, and Are You Busy in the closing stages. This race shape strongly favours horses with tactical speed who can position prominently and avoid the late traffic, as the lack of early pace will create a bunched field turning for home.

Race scenarios

Uncontested Leader Survives

45% probability

If Butterfly Mountain gets an easy lead and jumps cleanly throughout

The lack of early pressure allows the leader to conserve energy and kick clear approaching the last fence. Hold-up horses find themselves with too much ground to make up in the closing stages.

If Giant Haystacks or Parkgarve travel smoothly in behind the leader

Endless TalkingBannow Blaze

Nelson Muntz looks the only confirmed front runner in this field, with most others preferring to settle behind. With minimal early pressure expected, he can dictate at a sustainable gallop through the early stages. The lack of prominent runners means the pace could become quite steady, potentially turning this into a sprint from the home turn. This race shape strongly favours hold-up horses who can produce late kicks, as they'll get the perfect setup with a moderate early pace and room to manoeuvre in the straight.

Race scenarios

Hold-Up Horses Dominate

65% probability

If Nelson Muntz sets an uncontested lead and the pace becomes moderate

The patient hold-up types get ideal conditions to unleash finishing kicks from off the pace. Horses like Mercury Mission and Endless Talking can time their runs perfectly when others have gone too early.

If the early pace becomes crawling and turns into a sprint finish

Nelson Muntz gets an armchair ride up front and proves hard to peg back in a tactical affair. The prominent runners like Costacurta can also benefit from being handy when the race explodes late.

Moderate Pace All-Out Finish

Typical Thomas and Itsalonglongroad will contest the early lead, with both confirmed front-runners likely to ensure a genuine gallop from the start. The honest pace will stretch the field out over Tramore's testing 1m7½f trip, with prominent runners like Lady Doyanne and Polly Poppins tracking the leaders while the hold-up horses get shuffled back. The sustained tempo will expose stamina limitations and favour horses that can travel strongly in the first half of the race rather than those needing to produce late kicks. This race shape clearly favours prominent/tracking runners who can position close enough to strike when the pace-setters weaken.

Rebel Queen is the sole confirmed front runner and will dictate from the start without pressure, creating a sustainable tempo over the extended trip. Behind her, four horses (Poetic Twist, Luciole Des Bordes, Giorgia Rose, Northernlightsky) all want prominent positions, creating congestion and traffic problems approaching the business end. The hold-up horses (Mysilverriverfeale, Muted Melody, Howyasox) will benefit from the solid gallop but face positioning challenges in a small field. This race shape strongly favours prominent runners who can secure clear racing room early and avoid the mid-race scramble.

Not So Serious is the sole natural leader with Bite That and Kilbarry Ce Ce likely prominent, creating a moderate gallop over this extended trip. The pace will be sustainable early but pressure builds from three out as the large field closes up. With most runners being hold-up types including the better-rated Just For One, Zolpharine, and U Asking Me, they'll rely on a strong finish. This race shape strongly favours hold-up horses who can produce a late kick, as the modest early pace will leave plenty in reserve for the closing stages.

Doyen Magic will take the field along at a comfortable gallop with no other confirmed pace-setters to apply pressure. The prominent runners Playtime, The Monkey Pole, and Figero will track the leader through steady fractions, while hold-up horses Splashing Out, Eastmore, and Stepdance settle towards the rear. This sets up a tactical affair where the pace will quicken from the second-last hurdle as the field compacts. The lack of pace pressure clearly favours front-runners and prominent racers who can secure good positions without having to work hard early.

DistractionOne Day In MayHighlander Addict

With no confirmed front runners and a field dominated by hold-up horses (Highlander Addict, One Day In May, Goodmancon, Blaze Of Honour), this race will likely see a cautious early pace with the field bunched together through the early stages. The lack of natural pace-setters means someone will have to make the running reluctantly, potentially creating a stop-start rhythm that could see the field still tightly packed turning for home. This setup strongly favours horses with tactical speed and a turn of foot who can quicken off a modest gallop, giving hold-up horses and those with finishing kicks a clear tactical advantage over any that need a strong pace to be effective.

Tactical Speed Dominates

If the pace becomes pedestrian with the field bunched at halfway

The race becomes a sprint finish where horses with proven tactical speed and finishing kicks thrive off the modest early gallop. Highlander Addict and One Day In May are perfectly suited to this scenario with their hold-up styles and ability to quicken.

About this analysis

Every race on PaceMap is read from the in-running comments of each runner’s recent form — how a horse actually ran, not only where it finished. Those comments decide the groups above, and the same comments are read back after the race to score what was published. The record is public, including the months it was worse.
