Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 6 |
Doctor Grace (M)
[P]
Course winner isn't the easiest to win with but ran one of her better races when second of 14 in a handicap at this C&D (12/1) 21 days ago. In the mix if reproducing that form.
|
Reese Holohan | A McGuinness | 6 | 63.5 kg |
6
5/1
|
| 11th | 2 | 17 |
Imperial Fighter (G)
[H]
Needs things to drop right given his running style. Broke better when fourth in a claimer here 7 days ago. Back up in trip but yet to prove he stays this far.
|
Paddy Harnett | P J McKenna | 7 | 63.5 kg |

16/1
|
| 2nd | 3 | 7 |
Marians Gal (M)
[P]
Won over C&D last November and has remained in good form, third of 11 here (7/2) 7 days ago. Back down in grade and should run her race again.
|
Julian Pietropaolo | K Smith | 6 | 62.6 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 4th | 4 | 4 |
Storm Eric (G)
Three-time course winner confirmed return to form when second of 14 in C&D handicap last month. Still 1 lb below his last winning mark.

Adam Grant | Jamie Flynn | 7 | 62.6 kg |

|
| 3rd | 5 | 13 |
Eighty Eight (G)
FAV
C&D winner under positive tactics in December 2024 and nearly repeated the feat when close third over C&D last time. Remains one to be interested in off a career-low mark.
|
Brandon Wilkie | J Feane | 7 | 62.1 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 10th | 6 | 11 |
Hasten Slowly (M)
C&D winner continues to fall in the weights and likely needed the run when well beaten in a claimer here last month. May come on for that.
|
Nicola Burns | J C McConnell | 6 | 61.2 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 14th | 7 | 9 |
Barretstown (G)
Three-time C&D winner was tenth of 14 here (20/1) in January, though might have needed the run after 10 weeks off. Down 3lbs and should be more competitive.
|
J Cleary | C O'Dwyer | 8 | 60.8 kg |
29
28/1
|
| 1st | 8 | 16 |
Aingeal Dorcha (G)
[T]
Sixth of 14 in C&D handicap (5/1) 21 days ago, shaping as if still in good form. Fairly treated but has wide draw to overcome.
|
Adam Browne-Souza | A Slattery | 8 | 60.3 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 6th | 9 | 3 |
My Vonnie (M)
[B]
Maiden who was well-backed when sixth over 1m here but wasn't in same form upped markedly in trip latest. On a workable mark and interesting to see if support comes again.
|
Rory Mulligan | M Rice | 5 | 59.4 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 12th | 10 | 2 |
Hale Bopp (G)
Extended long losing run when fourth of 13 in C&D handicap (14/1) 21 days ago. In fine heart but needs plenty to fall right.
|
Patrick McGettigan | R Donohoe | 8 | 59 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 9th | 11 | 10 |
Hell Left Loose (G)
[B]
Largely out of sorts since winning her last November. Significantly back up in trip with stamina to prove.
|
Mel Sheridan | D Hogan | 10 | 56.7 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 5th | 12 | 8 |
Not Even Maybe (M)
Maiden finished sixth of 11 in C&D handicap (40/1) 7 days ago, ran as well as could be expected from 9 lb out of the handicap. Drops back into a more realistic grade.
|
Shay Wallace | W Delahunty | 6 | 56.2 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 7th | 13 | 15 |
Cowzer Soze (G)
[P1]
Lightly-raced maiden failed to build on promise of reappearance when tenth of 13 (10/1) over C&D 21 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Remains to be seen if change of headgear has desired effect.
|
Jimmy Dalton | A Slattery | 4 | 55.8 kg |
21
20/1
|
| 13th | 14 | 1 |
Bright Night (F)
[B]
Continues to show little. Best to look elsewhere.
|
Conor Cusack | D Hogan | 4 | 54.9 kg |
51
50/1

| — | 15 | 12 |
Al What (F)
Best effort when fifth of 14 in a median auction at Navan last June. Would need to improve on that to break her maiden on AW debut. RESERVE.
|
Emily Grifferty | N Meade | 4 | 63 kg |
26
25/1

| — | 16 | 14 |
Kings Gesture (G)
Looks to be being brought along gradually and went off too hard on qualifying run here last month. Could do better now handicapping. RESERVE.
|
Reserve 2 | M P Ryan | 5 | 64.4 kg |

Powerful Rosie (F)
[P1]
Minor promise in C&D maiden but failed to back that up on handicap debut last time. RESERVE.
