14/1 |
Wrecking Ball Paul
C&D winner but really struggling this winter, including over 2m three weeks ago when tailed off and failing to beat a rival; now tried with first-time blinkers and hard to recommend.

- J M Sheridan / D Hogan

Dynamite Defense
Got the better of Comfort Line (won twice since) on sole AW outing in September; shaped like he may appreciate this trip when fourth since and one to consider, despite 169-day absence and wide draw.

- Chopsticks
- S Foley / S M Duffy

|
2/1 |
Chopsticks
14-race maiden but more consistent than that record suggests and ran another creditable race over C&D in January; one of these should fall his way and looks a big player from the same mark.

- Flier
- G F Carroll / Mrs D Foster

13/2 |
Flier
0-17 on the Flat; career best came over this C&D last winter; possible she will appreciate a return to this trip and has an each-way squeak.

50/1 |
Gatsby Cap
Four-time course winner but all of his wins have come over shorter; hasn't looked as effective at 1m2f+; best watched on back of 349-day absence.

- D S O'Sullivan / P G Fahey

Our Lucky Lady
Modest form in trio of course maidens, including over C&D latest and needs marked improvement to defy this mark on handicap debut.

Randall Poets Lass
0-15 but her course debut here three weeks ago wasn't devoid of promise; may come on for that and return to shorter should be okay too.

Tyder
Runner-up in a Leopardstown handicap last season but disappointing since and no signs of a revival over C&D last month.

- L F Roche / J Feane

15/2 |
Villemacho
Just 1-40 but has shown ability for his new connections this winter and latest effort over 7f worth forgiving; workable mark.

14/1 |
Accompanist
Shown very little in a trio of maidens so far; step back up in trip may help on handicap debut but plenty to find.

- C T Keane / William Harvey

Harbanaker
Three wins at 1m including two course wins but only seen once since 2023; changed yards again after low-key return last month; widest draw.

Together Aclaim
Sole win in 33 starts came over C&D; encouraging return to action despite racing keenly in January but subsequent C&D effort was modest.

Sea Of Beauty
Shown very little in seven maiden starts so far; looks vulnerable back up in trip on handicap debut.

Sole win came here two years ago but has really lost his way this winter; needs return to further to spark a revival.

Higher Kingdom
First reserve; four-time course winner (including C&D); only beat one home on yard debut last week but was well backed.

Lord Talbot
Second reserve; C&D winner; lightly raced and may have needed last week's 1m4f run.
