- Metamorpheus
- J Kearney / R O'Brien

|
13/2 |
Metamorpheus
0-6 on the Flat but has shown ability and would have been unsuited by the drop in trip here two weeks ago; workable mark if he can build on that and probably has more to offer at this sort of distance.

- D S O'Sullivan / P G Fahey

11/2 |
Omakase
1m4f winner on penultimate start and suffered some interference when beaten roughly 1l here since; still feasibly treated but needs to prove she stays this new trip.

- D W O'Connor / J C McConnell

11/2 |
Slowdownbarney
Hit the frame in last three runs, all over 1m4f here; shaped like he may appreciate this new trip when beaten half a length here three weeks ago; only up 1lb but form knocked since and his 0-14 record is off-putting.

Tara Power
Gained first win since 2021 with a 1m4f success here last month; wasn't at that level last week though and not sure to stay this sort of trip.

- C T Keane / N Meade

15/8 |
Billie Frechette
Shaped like further may suit when beaten a neck over 1m4f here in December; beaten favourite in her subsequent outing but ran with credit over timber last week and has untapped potential at this sort of trip in this sphere; respected with Keane on.

- Makaiah
- S Foley / Gerard O'Leary

14/1 |
Makaiah
Looked like she had a race in her for Ger Lyons last season; some minor promise over hurdles for new yard; interesting at this new trip in this sphere but others are more convincing.

- Pegasus Of Harry
- K J Leonard / E O'Connell

40/1 |
Pegasus Of Harry
1m4f winner at Wolverhampton for Marco Botti a year ago; hasn't shown enough in her three runs for new connections; now tried with tongue-tie and new trip.

- Bright Start
- Nicola Burns / S M Duffy

|
12/1 |
Bright Start
Only win came on dirt at Meydan in 2021; managed to hit the frame when a distant third over C&D in December but hasn't built on that since.

- Is She Now
- R C Colgan / V C Ward

|
20/1 |
Is She Now
12-race maiden; below form fourth of seven over C&D last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); others more likely.

- Noble Expression
- C D Hayes / G A Kingston

50/1 |
Noble Expression
Highly encouraging yard debut after more than two years off in November but not near that level in two subsequent turf starts and brought down over timber since.

- Duke Otto
- A C Persse / P J Flynn

17/2 |
Duke Otto
Gained a third win over timber at Wexford last week and was only beaten 2l over C&D on his penultimate start when outpaced at a crucial stage; not ruled out.

- Uberrima Fides
- W M Lordan / S R B Crawford

Uberrima Fides
0-13 on the level and this new trip needs to spark significant improvement after a low-key effort here a fortnight ago.

- Knock Flyer
- L F Roche / G Elliott

Knock Flyer
Long-standing maiden and hasn't beaten a rival in last three Flat runs; off 135 days.
