Exact times are confirmed closer to the meeting; these are the headline races on each day.

Trends & angles
Elite, deep, sharply-priced Group 1 fields, so blanket angles are thin. These are the patterns with a real base. A trend is a question, not a tip.
The Irish Champion Stakes tends to fall to a proven top-level middle-distance horse. Read the King George, Eclipse and Juddmonte form for the strongest lines.
The Moyglare and National Stakes are the key two-year-old Group 1s and the road to next year's Guineas. Note the unbeaten, well-bred types stepping up.
Autumn ground can turn soft. A proven mud-lover has an edge across the weekend, so check each runner's form on the going before the price.
This is a key Arc-trial weekend: the Irish Champion Stakes form reads straight into Longchamp three weeks later. Weigh the championship form, the ground and the trip before the market's opinion.
Where we add the edge
The Overlay rates every runner on how often its connections actually win versus what the price expects, then surfaces the horses we make bigger than the market. We are a data-driven analysis tool, not a tipping service: every call is a suggestion for you to judge, settled honestly at Betfair SP, win or lose.
As each festival card is declared, our value read on every runner, plus the going and prices, appears on the dashboard with the plain-English reason behind each one.
