- Carvalhal
- Nicola Burns / R P Burns
|
|
50
|
16/1 |
Carvalhal
6l winner over 1m1f at Hamilton last summer when trained by Michael Dods; didn't run badly on recent stable debut (1m, soft) and this is probably more his ground.
|

- Macadam's Rock
- B M Coen / Miss H McLoughlin

|
15/2 |
Macadam's Rock
Finished well off a solid gallop to collect over Dundalk's 7f a month ago; all four wins have been there and turf form isn't quite as persuasive, but arrives here in good form.
|

|
- River Derwent
- J J G Ryan / Thomas Coyle

|
10/1 |
River Derwent
C&D winner last May on good ground when 2lb higher so he's capable; however, slow starts continue to hold him back.
|

- Is That Love
- L T McAteer / P Sweeney

|
10/1 |
Is That Love
Multiple winner but he missed all of 2024 and has struggled since returning; others safer.
|

- Superior Force
- A J Casey / D Hogan
|

59
|
7/1 |
Superior Force
Never dangerous from off the pace at the Curragh last week (7f, good); has a poor strike-rate of 2-34 and may have a preference for slower ground (both wins on soft).
|
|
|
|
- Jazz Dreamers
- J E Harnett / S Fahey

|
40/1 |
Jazz Dreamers
Absent since last June and all three wins have come over longer distances; exposed now and others look safer.
|
|
|
|
- Profit Surge
- N M Crosse / J Geoghegan
|
|
72
|
16/1 |
Profit Surge
Lightly raced maiden; has shown enough to believe she can pick up a race somewhere down the line but has been absent three months and the tongue-tie is new.
|
|
|
|
- Top Of The Pops
- W Joyce / J G Murray
|
|
59
|
14/1 |
Top Of The Pops
Positively ridden from a good draw and duly won well at Gowran last month (1m, yielding; 7lb lower); 1m2f was perhaps a step too far at Sligo as he didn't appear to stay.
|
|
|
|
- Akeela
- A C Persse / M A Cahill
|
|
67
|
10/1 |
Akeela
Sole win came at 6f but was twice bang there over 7f in the autumn (on good to firm/AW); not at her best after a break but has the form to feature.
|
|
|
|
- Feature This
- D McMonagle / Ian Donoghue
|
|
65
|
16/1 |
Feature This
All five wins have come over 1m and she arrives here with five duck eggs next to her name; risky.
|
|
|
|
- My Kurkum
- Adam Caffrey / R K Watson
|
|
63
|
5/1 |
My Kurkum
Not that consistent and hard to win with, but ran well over 6f at Sligo last week and he's probably better over further than that trip.
|
|
|
|
- Shahada Ace
- A J Slattery / A Slattery
|
|
57
|
50/1 |
Shahada Ace
Has got closer in each of her maidens, last time beaten about 10l at Gowran (1m, heavy); likely open to some improvement now handicapping off a modest mark.
|
|
|
|
- Sovereign Banter
- J A Heffernan / E J O'Grady
|
|
58
|
16/1 |
Sovereign Banter
Undistingished form in maidens and only ninth of 13 on 7f handicap debut (AW; 50-1); wouldn't be the obvious answer.
|
|
|
|
- Zuzzudio
- G F Carroll / G P Cromwell
|
|
62
|
13/2 |
Zuzzudio
Uncompetitive in AW handicaps when last seen but her close sixth at Naas last September (1m, good) suggested she can win races.
|
|
|
|
- Zero Fighter
- W M Lordan / E D Delany
|
|
61
|
10/1 |
Zero Fighter
Well held in his recent handicap hurdles and Flat profile has a regressive look to it.
|

- Jurality
- Reserve 1 / P W Flynn

|
8/1 |
Jurality
First reserve; had the run of the race at Gowran last week (1m) and ran well to finish fourth; hasn't had lots of racing.
|
|
|
|
- Celtic Druid
- Reserve 2 / T G McCourt
|
|
72
|
33/1 |
Celtic Druid
Second reserve; beaten 10l into midfield last week at Gowran and now goes in a visor; improvement needed.
