Silent Guardian (G)
[H]
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who has displayed promise over hurdles and best not judged harshly on handicap debut run at Fairyhouse (2m) last month, left with near-hopeless task from his position. Remains with potential in handicaps.
|
Conor Brassil | A McCann | 5 | 75.7 kg |

18/1
|
| 8th | 2 | — |
Embrace The Day (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who has been sent off at big prices and yet to feature in 4 starts, including on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (2½m) 33 days ago. Still, he's in good hands and far too soon to be writing him off.
|
Keith Donoghue | G P Cromwell | 5 | 74.4 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 11th | 3 | — |
Anodandawink (G)
Yet to show much in four maiden hurdle starts. Makes handicap debut back up in trip and noteworthy if the market spoke in his favour.
|
Eoin Walsh | Ciaran Murphy | 5 | 73.5 kg |

9/1
|
| 4th | 4 | — |
Courtbrack Boy (G)
FAV
[H]
Improver switched to handicaps, getting back on the up in no uncertain terms when a comprehensive winner over extended 2m here 4 weeks ago. Easily one of the least exposed and big shout up 7 lb.
|
John Shinnick | T O'Brien | 6 | 73.5 kg |
3.25
9/4
|
| 9th | 5 | — |
Lissen To The Lady (M)
[P]
Career best when successful over 2½m just over 2 years ago and shaped as if retaining ability on belated return to action when sixth at Naas (2m) 22 days ago. Could build on that with usual cheekpieces refitted.
|
Miss J Walton | Patrick Cronin | 12 | 71.2 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 12th | 6 | — |
Bite That (G)
Hurdles/chase winner who ran well when fifth over further here last spring. However, offered little either start since, including back here 4 weeks ago. Return to this longer trip may help.
|
Gary Noonan | P J Flynn | 10 | 69.4 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 6th | 7 | — |
Ixigreczed (M)
[B1]
Hurdles winner earlier in career but wasn't pulling up any trees over fences/hurdles when last seen in 2025. Blinkers now the headgear of choice following 4 months off.
|
Conor Clarke | E Seymour | 8 | 69.4 kg |
23
22/1

| — | 8 | — |
Loi Des Jeux (G)
Shown little in three maiden hurdles but there was some encouragement to glean from January's handicap debut run at Punchestown, that despite being badly hampered early on. Remains capable of better.
|
Danny Mullins | D Hassett | 5 | 69.4 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 2nd | 9 | — |
Uncle Gerhard (G)
Sole win came at Gowran (2m) in 2022 and he posted his best effort for a while when fourth returned to that track/trip 3 weeks ago. Far from certain to be in same form here, however.
|
Aidan Kelly | G O'Loughlin | 11 | 69.4 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 10th | 10 | — |
Ballinaboola Gold (M)
No better than midfield in handful of maiden hurdle runs and no upturn for switch to handicaps at Naas earlier this month.
|
R Deegan | R Donohoe | 5 | 68.5 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 14th | 11 | — |
Finnicky Filly (M)
[T]
Successful over extended 2m here in December but not got near that level in trio of starts since.
|
Michael Kenneally | J P Ryan | 8 | 68.5 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 15th | 12 | — |
Lucky Crystal (G)
[T1]
Yet to show anything in 4 starts and best watched making handicap debut unless betting indicates otherwise.
|
Phillip Enright | Brendan Walsh | 5 | 67.6 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 16th | 13 | — |
Lake Okeechobee (M)
Went with no encouragement only start in bumpers and similarly well held all 3 starts in mares' maiden hurdles. Significant step forward required now handicapping.
|
Josh Williamson | E M O'Sullivan | 5 | 67.1 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 13th | 14 | — |
Bella Union (G)
[P]
Remains a maiden after 17 runs but shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when midfield in 18-runner handicap at Down Royal (20.4f) 9 days ago. Not one to give up on at a low level from further reduced mark.
|
Darragh O'Keeffe | J C McConnell | 10 | 65.8 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 5th | 15 | — |
Larkins Lane (M)
[H]
Little solid form for Ronald O'Leary and easy to back after 6 months off, she posted a laboured effort on debut for new yard at Fairyhouse in January. Passed over.
|
Tiernan Power Roche | P J Rothwell | 7 | 65.8 kg |
8.50

La Tene (M)
Well beaten all 3 starts since returning from lengthy absence this year.

Falcon Park (G)
[V]
Course winner who returned to form from out of the blue when second back here (2m) in February. However, merely underlined inconsistency when down the field at Cork last time. RESERVE.

Harry Sexton | J J Hanlon | 10 | 68 kg |
