28/1 |
North Winterfell
Placed over 1m4f on AW in Kempton maiden and Wolverhampton novice; ran poorly at Newbury on only turf start; has been gelded; worth a precautionary look in the market.

- Zipster
- Nicola Burns / Gerard O'Leary

4/1 |
Zipster
Won a 1m Yarmouth handicap on good for the Crisfords last May; scored again at Southwell in August; poor effort on debut for Ger O'Leary at Dundalk but was slowly away and may have needed the run; again started slowly at Leopardstown, did well in the circumstances; live chance now with Nicola Burns claiming a valuable 7lb.

Abbey Actress
Killarney winner last autumn in very testing conditions; this going should be fine for her, though any rain would probably help.

7/1 |
Barrogstown Girl
Won three times for this rider last season; handled an ease when scoring over this trip on her final start, beating today's rival Gotta Catech'em All, respected.

5/1 |
Bringsty
Showed the benefit of a Dundalk win when scoring at Gowran, his first success since May 2023 and fifth in all; has to deal with 8lb rise, same 7lb claimer rides.

Thatwilldoso
Left her handicap debut behind at Killarney when signing off last season with a narrow defeat at the Curragh; maintained progress with Gowran win on return; 11lb higher now, same 5lb claimer aboard.

14/1 |
The Real Screamer
Arrives bidding for a hat-trick after back-to-back wins over Dundalk's extended 1m2f late last year; may improve on previous turf form, and definitely needs to, since his best placing was when seventh of 16 over C&D.

25/1 |
Victor's Choice
Soft-ground winner at the Galway festival; below that form on final four 2024 starts; return to form is not of the question on this going.
|

- Yes Oui Si
- S Foley / Mrs J Harrington
|

|
16/1 |
Yes Oui Si
Best run last season when third of 10 in a 1m4f Curragh maiden; failed to build on that; ran well off her reduced mark over C&D recently.

Duke Of Leggagh
Won back-to-back 2m handicap hurdles at Naas in February; below his best (over longer trips) in two runs since reverting to the Flat.

- Dont Do Dramas
- B M Coen / M Mulvany

22/1 |
Dont Do Dramas
Three-time winner is suited by soft ground; should be better for Leopardstown run and was not beaten far; has to reverse form with fifth-placed Zipster.
|

- Gotta Catch'em All
- Adam Caffrey / H Rogers

|
8/1 |
Gotta Catch'em All
Maiden put in a bright display over 1m at the Curragh; trainer has his team in good shape and this longer trip and the addition of a tongue-tie; good each-claims.

- D McMonagle / H D McGuigan

Goldsmith
All five wins in Britain came on the AW at up to 1m2f; not at his best yet for this stable; 50-1 when last of 14 at Dundalk in February.

- P McGettigan / P Sweeney

Cordouan
Wins have come on AW, Laytown and on quick ground on turf, going here may be too slow; disappointing at Laytown on final start before joining this yard.

11/1 |
Seti
AW winner; never in serious contention over C&D last time; turf form is ordinary, though opportunities have beenm limited.
|
|
|
|
- Doctor Grace
- M W Hassett / A McGuinness
|
|

|
7/1 |
Doctor Grace
Unplaced favourite at Dundalk recently; better judged on her previous Bellewstown second and the fact that her sole turf win was gained over C&D last summer.
|
|
|
|
- Barretstown
- W J Lee / C O'Dwyer
|
|
71
|
22/1 |
Barretstown
3-27 on AW; modest strike rate on turf (1-27) makes it hard to be confident; sole turf win came at the main expense of Doctor Grace at Cork last May.

28/1 |
Fleetfootsoldier
Won three times over 1m in 2023 for his previous trainer; unplaced in light 2024 campaign; plenty to prove as a result, though one of his two C&D runs was respectable.

Flier
Dundalk winner last time on her 23rd outing (including five over hurdles); could go well again having made the breakthrough.

Nothing in her maiden form suggests a strong chance in her first handicap.

All three wins have been on AW and not at her best when last seen on turf.

Harseva
Ran well when third of 17 over C&D last September; another fair C&D effort when sixth of 13 on stable debut, not far off fourth-placed Oui Si Oui.
