Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9th | 1 | 16 |
Aboveheronlysky (F)
Speedily bred and offered something to work on behind a pair of improvers when third of 19 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 100/1) on debut back in 2024. Has 16-month absence to overcome but she's still open to improvement.
|
Billy Lee | T Doyle | 4 | 64.4 kg |

28/1
|
| 16th | 2 | 1 |
Deirdreanme (F)
Offered little encouragement first time up when last of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Looks to be up against it.
|
Rory Mulligan | J G Coogan | 4 | 64.4 kg |
251
250/1
|
| 8th | 3 | 15 |
Apothic Red (G)
Bit of promise over 7f on debut in September, but seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifteenth of 16 in maiden over C&D (soft, 80/1) later same month. Will be of more appeal once handicapping.

James Ryan | T G McCourt | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Breaking Dawn (C)
FAV
[P1]
Ran to a fair level when making the frame both starts last autumn, fourth of 8 in maiden at Naas (soft, 9/2) when last seen in October. Enters calculations as he drops back in trip with cheekpieces tried.
|
Colin Keane | M O'Callaghan | 3 | 60.3 kg |

2/1
|
| 5th | 5 | 3 |
Cantilever (C)
Made plenty of appeal on paper but seemed to lack sharpness when tenth of 17 in maiden at Naas (28/1) on debut last summer. Returns from 7 months off.
|
Seamie Heffernan | J A Stack | 3 | 60.3 kg |

10/1
|
| 6th | 6 | 13 |
Contrary To Law (C)
[H1]
Some encouragement on debut last summer, before doing too much too soon when fourth of 8 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft, 14/1). Off 7 months ahead of first run for new yard and looks worth a try at this trip with hood added.
|
Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 15th | 7 | 17 |
Dubai Opulence (G)
[H1]
Looked to have been brought along gradually last year, ninth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft, 25/1) on second outing in October. Gelded and tried in hood for his reappearance.
|
Wayne Lordan | N Lupini | 3 | 60.3 kg |

|
| 3rd | 8 | 4 |
Fate's Gambit (G)
Encouraging second in a Dundalk maiden (7f) on debut, before possibly finding the race coming too soon 2 weeks later when fifth of 6 in minor event (11/10) at the same C&D last month. Respected given more time ahead of this race.
|
D Egan | Robson Aguiar | 3 | 60.3 kg |

8/1

| 11th | 9 | 12 |
Glen Breeze (G)
Has finished well held both starts so far, returning from 7-months absence when seventh of 9 in claimer at Dundalk (7f, 22/1) 9 days ago. Bred to stay at least 1m.
|
Patrick McGettigan | P Magee | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 2nd | 10 | 7 |
Keogie (G)
€6,500 foal, €21,000 yearling, Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Decorated Knight. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, also won over hurdles. Watch for market clues.
|
Adam Caffrey | N Meade | 3 | 60.3 kg |

16/1
|
| 7th | 11 | 5 |
Monmouth (C)
Kingman colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner, sister to very smart 7f winner Gustav Klimt. Noteworthy newcomer for his leading connections.
|
R L Moore | A P O'Brien | 3 | 60.3 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 14th | 12 | 10 |
New Divide (G)
Starspangledbanner gelding. Dam 5f winner. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.
|
Shane Foley | C O'Brien | 3 | 60.3 kg |

9/1
|
| 12th | 13 | 9 |
The Wee Man (G)
Ran to only a modest level on his first start when eighth of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 150/1) in October. Plenty more required on his return.
|
Luke McAteer | M M McNiff | 3 | 60.3 kg |
151
150/1
|
| 4th | 14 | 8 |
Dreoilin (F)
Well held on debut and fared little better when ninth of 13 in maiden at Navan (soft, 80/1) in October. Drops to sprinting and needs another run for a handicap mark.
|
Declan McDonogh | J S Bolger | 3 | 58.1 kg |

|
| 13th | 15 | 6 |
Hiltons Pass (F)
[H1]
Raven's Pass filly. Sister to winner abroad. Dam once-raced half-sister to Irish St Leger winner Septimus. Wears hood. May be one for further down the line.

Ronan Whelan | John O'Donoghue | 3 | 58.1 kg |

| 10th | 16 | 14 |
She's On The Ball (F)
Very green when down the field on debut and, after 4 months off, made little impression on first run since leaving Clive Cox when thirteenth of 14 in 1m maiden at Dundalk (125/1) 23 days ago.
|
Robbie Colgan | Laura Hourigan | 3 | 58.1 kg |

Windsor Lily (F)
Making her second start, was still in need of the experience but showed more when fifth of 8 in maiden (7/1) at Dundalk (6f) last month. Has something to find in this contest, though.

Gary Carroll | J G Murphy | 3 | 58.1 kg |
