|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th | 1 | 8 |
Ocean Manifest (G)
[BT]
Lightly-raced 5-y-o enhanced a fine course record when winning 11-runner handicap here last month, seeing off a pair of reopposing rivals and makes plenty of appeal in the same grade.

Jack Kearney | Stephen Thorne | 5 | 63.5 kg |

| 5th | 2 | 5 |
Musical Act (G)
[P]
Cheekpieces on and took a step back in right direction when 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Una Matata in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Now needs to prove he can build on that.

Brewing (G)
FAV
[BT]
Isn't the force of old but back in form, second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago, well positioned but did all he could. Should be in the mix again.

Wayne Lordan | Kevin Coleman | 7 | 62.6 kg |

2/1
|
| 2nd | 4 | 9 |
Leopold The First (G)
Looked ready for step up in trip when runner-up in C&D maiden last time but unexposed for one at this level, this only his second start in a handicap.
|
Robbie Colgan | A Lee | 4 | 62.6 kg |

8/1
|
| 13th | 5 | 7 |
Free Solo (G)
[T]
Course winner looked to have gone off the boil last year and while he may be better for a break, this looks a tough ask at the weights.
|
Billy Lee | P J F Murphy | 9 | 62.1 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 10th | 6 | 10 |
Merlin The Wizard (G)
Never troubled the judge for previous yard and while he isn't fully exposed on this surface, he's been off 7 months prior to this stable debut.
|
Donagh O'Connor | R P Cody | 6 | 61.2 kg |
23
22/1
|
| 12th | 7 | 6 |
Shoot To Kill (G)
Course winner struggled to land a blow in this grade when last seen here in October and his record after a break isn't anything to write home about.
|
Killian Leonard | N C Kelly | 9 | 60.8 kg |

66/1
|
| 1st | 8 | 4 |
Neo Smart (M)
[T]
Course winner is back in form, hitting frame in pair of handicaps here last month, 1½ lengths fourth behind Ocean Manifest latest. Solid chance at the weights.
|
Declan McDonogh | J S Bolger | 5 | 59.9 kg |

9/1
|
| 9th | 9 | 13 |
Ruff Justice (F)
Largely disappointing last year and has a wide draw/4-month absence to overcome on stable debut.
|
Elin Hedman | E O'Connell | 4 | 59.4 kg |

100/1
|
| 8th | 10 | 2 |
Albion Power (G)
Won here in October but below-par subsequent two starts and has a bit to prove following a break.
|
James Ryan | K H Clarke | 5 | 59 kg |
81
80/1
|
| 7th | 11 | 11 |
Una Matata (M)
Won twice over 7f here before blowing the start in a claimer here last time. Can still be competitive with a sharper break.
|
Adam Caffrey | A McGuinness | 5 | 59 kg |

10/1
|
| 4th | 12 | 12 |
Lahore Da King (G)
[PT]
Both wins here have come with this apprentice aboard and he arrives on the back of another good effort when runner-up over 7f last week. Still relatively low mileage too, but the draw could have been kinder.
|
Iqbal Khan | A Mullins | 4 | 57.6 kg |
7
6/1
|
| 11th | 13 | 3 |
Aratayvo (G)
[T]
Maiden winner here in 2024 but stood little racing since, proving he retains some ability when seventh of 14 in handicap over C&D 45 days ago. Interesting if building on that.

Chris Hayes | D K Weld | 5 | 57.2 kg |
