| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Form | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9th | 1 | 5 |
Zipster (G)
Off the mark for present yard at Killarney (1m) in July and shaped as if still in good form next 2 starts. Not disgraced in first-time blinkers (now discarded) over C&D on final outing and he remains on a workable mark ahead of return.

| 14th | 2 | 12 |
God Knows (M)
Won a claimer at Bellewstown in July and ended last season firmly at the top of her game, finding only an unexposed 3-y-o too strong in 18-runner handicap over 1m here in October. Record fresh an obvious plus and conditions will hold no fe…

Merisi Diamond (G)
[T]
Progressive 4-time winner in 2024 (including over C&D). Essentially struggled in a light 2025 campaign and disappointing he went backwards from an encouraging reappearance over 6f here at Naas last week. Still, not one to write off from wh…

| 4th | 4 | 18 |
Royal Impact (G)
Improving sort who had tongue strap discarded when making a winning handicap debut at Dundalk (7f) 5 weeks ago, leading entering final 1f and keeping on. 6 lb rise looks fair if he can translate the improvement displayed then back on turf.

94-3145 | James Ryan | J Davison | 4 | 63 kg |

|
| 19th | 5 | 6 |
Eichan San (G)
[P]
Consistent performer in turf maidens with 3 fourth place finishes last season. Didn't shape too badly making handicap debut when seventh at Naas (6f) 6 days ago left poorly placed and never better than midfield. Easily one of the least exp…

|
| 20th | 6 | 3 |
Green Icon (G)
Winless since 2-y-o days and he was never dangerous after 4 months off when last of 12 in handicap over 6f here 2 weeks ago. This promises to reveal more but usual headgear is again discarded.

| 2nd | 7 | 15 |
Mickey The Steel (G)
[PT]
Course winner who arrives on a losing run but he's returned in good heart, finishing third on reappearance here prior to filling same spot at Naas (6f, heavy) 6 days ago. Enters calculations as an in-form sort.

| 5th | 8 | 14 |
Goldrush Kid (G)
[PT]
Sole career success to date came over 1m here 12 months ago but plenty of creditable efforts in defeat thereafter last season. Little to shout about over hurdles over the winter but not disgraced when eighth in big-field handicap back here…

11/1
|
| 23th | 9 | 13 |
Giselles Defence (G)
Done his winning in single-figure fields when trained by Ian Williams and it's been a very low-key start for new yard on all-weather in recent months.

000590 | Shane Kelly | Sean Davis | 6 | 60.8 kg |

| 16th | 10 | 1 |
Secret Magician (G)
[B]
Ended last season out of sorts and fared no better after 5 months off when well held over 6f here 13 days ago. Blinkers go back on now.

Zabriskie Point (G)
[P]
Struggling for form at the moment and merely closed up late when ninth in handicap at Navan (6f, heavy) 6 days ago.

Genuine Jim (G)
C&D winner who started last term with a bang, runner-up at Leopardstown prior to resuming winning ways at Cork (1m) in April. Ran badly on return from 5 months off here 2 weeks ago though, and he'll have to leave that well behind to featur…

|
| 13th | 13 | 7 |
Rampage (G)
[VT]
Infrequent winner who isn't badly treated on balance and feasible to think he'll strip fitter for his reappearance seventh over 1m here recently. Not discounted.

Lough Leane (G)
FAV
[T]
Progressed well for David Simcock during 2024, winning 6 times on all-weather. Lost his way during second half of last year but enhanced good record fresh when second in a big field handicap over 1m here 2 weeks ago. Task is to back that u…

Deuteronomy (G)
Resurgent in refitted headgear last summer, rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick in June at up to 9f on turf. Absent since finishing midfield in 18-runner Leopardstown handicap (1¼m) in October though, and present mark demands more.

Ferrari Desert (M)
[T]
Ran well without getting her head in front on all 4 visits to Dundalk last year. Looked rusty after 10 months off when tenth of 14 in handicap there in January but that ought to have blown the cobwebs away. No forlorn hope.

Mogwli (G)
[V]
Course winner who cashed in off reduced in refitted visor at Bellewstown (1m) in October. Below best over C&D on final start but best not judged too harshly on his recent reappearance over 1m having been caught wide. Better showing not rul…

Not Simple (F)
[H]
Confirmed previous promise when opening his account at Cork (1m) in September. However, progress stalled in trio of starts thereafter and he needs to get back on track following 4 months off.

Red Charlie (G)
[T]
Lightly-raced maiden who has been absent since finishing midfield in a Dundalk handicap over this trip 16 months ago. Betting can point the way starting out for new stable.

Anightaway (G)
Showed precious little in 4 starts on Flat last year and similar story making hurdles debut at Navan in December.

| 6th | 21 | 21 |
Hell Left Loose (G)
[B]
Veteran who was fit from all-weather and took step back in right direction when fifth in a similarly big-field handicap over 1m here 2 weeks ago. Now his task is to build on that.
|
095636 | Mel Sheridan | D Hogan | 10 | 54.4 kg |

28/1
|
| 17th | 22 | 23 |
Merepark (G)
Down the field all 3 starts in maidens last summer. Steps back in trip on return/handicap debut and significant step forward required.

|
| 15th | 23 | 11 |
Kilgharrahs Love (F)
Maiden who struggled to make an impact in handful of starts last year, including in a visor on final start at Cork (1½m) on final start in July. Plenty to prove on return back down markedly in trip.
