11/2 |
Irish Rumour
Off the mark from 4lb lower over 5f last term at Navan and respectable return at the Curragh when drawn on the wrong side; ought to go well back at 5f with Keane booked.

- Surpass And Shine
- W J Lee / P J Flynn

7/1 |
Surpass And Shine
Improved for the step up to 7f last season, going close at Leopardstown and Cork; below form on return and looks vulnerable over this trip.

- Platino Bianco
- M L Malone / C Timmons

|
50/1 |
Platino Bianco
A 14-race maiden; barely beat a rival on return and probably needs softer ground over this trip.

25/1 |
Hero Of The Hour
Course winner; ground against him when last of 20 at Navan (5f) a fortnight ago; lurks 2lb below last winning mark and one to consider.

- Beano Power
- Sorcha Woods / E Lynam

7/1 |
Beano Power
Career best when getting off the mark at the 11th attempt at Navan (soft, 5f) a fortnight ago having been narrowly denied on AW on penultimate run; up 8lb, different conditions here and she's drawn out on the wing; not sure to follow up.

- J J G Ryan / T G McCourt

11/1 |
Inishmot Prince
Has a record of 10-52 but nine of those wins have come on AW and he's been well below his best in two recent turf starts.

Rion Rubette
Narrowly denied in her first two runs in maidens last season including over 6f here; lost her way a bit since and 5f isn't sure to suit.

- She's Smart
- Adam Caffrey / A McGuinness

14/1 |
She's Smart
Best efforts for this yard have been over 5f at Down Royal but ran with credit when runner-up to Beano Power on soft at Navan on her penultimate start; however, backwards step at the Curragh on Monday and her yard is a bit quieter than usual.

17/2 |
Zaragoza
Won over the extended 6f at the Curragh on last season's return and ran a couple of solid races in defeat in big field handicaps since; suspicion 5f is too short on return from 205 days off.

- Sarahmae
- J M Sheridan / D Hogan

12/1 |
Sarahmae
Left all previous form behind with six-runner handicap success at Tipperary last month; however, 7lb rise looks harsh and quicker ground here.
|

- Tomarlo
- L T McAteer / D Marnane

|
6/1 |
Tomarlo
A 6f AW winner in November and held his form well since; can be keen and that probably cost him behind Sarahmae on return; tongue-tie now tried.

- Arctic Steps
- R P Cleary / Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch

28/1 |
Arctic Steps
Improved with each run in maidens so far, beaten 6l in a 7f Gowran maiden last time out; has speed and drop in trip may help her settle better; intriguing handicap debutante.
|

- Dark Enigma
- W Joyce / J G Murray

|
18/1 |
Dark Enigma
Beaten just over a length in two early season handicaps last season and shaped like she needed her return at Sligo last week; not obviously well treated.

- Tilly's Company
- G F Carroll / J G Coogan

40/1 |
Tilly's Company
Promising run when fourth in Cork maiden last summer but nothing since including two 5f turf handicaps this term; wears first-time blinkers.
|
|
|
|
- My Girl Sioux
- A J Slattery / A Slattery
|
|
67
|
12/1 |
My Girl Sioux
Record of 1-44 and 0-19 on turf; best turf form on slower ground than what she'll get here; respectable fifth behind some of these at Navan last month but others look more likely.
|
|
|
|
- Far At Sea
- B M Coen / P J F Murphy
|
|
78
|
12/1 |
Far At Sea
Took a step forward when third in a 6f Sligo maiden on Sunday but handicap mark has suffered as a result; probably has the speed for the drop back to 5f but may be flattered by the Sligo run.
|
|
|
|
- Step Back In Time
- R C Colgan / C Timmons
|
|
69
|
22/1 |
Step Back In Time
Both wins at Navan, the latest over 6f last month; didn't manage to build on that over 5f subsequently; needs best effort for some time to land this.

Bamako
Promise in a 7f Down Royal maiden but didn't kick on in handicap company and has been off 218 days.

- J Pietropaolo / D Hogan

Hell Left Loose
Well held at Laytown when last seen on the level in 2023 and lengthy absence to overcome here.

- P McGettigan / P J McKenna

20/1 |
No Speed Limit
Can go well from the front but on a lengthy losing run since 2023 and he's 1-34 on turf; tough ask.
