Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20th | 1 | 3 |
Dar Toungi (G)
Useful performer in France but signs of decline last season and likely to need this on yard debut.
|
Daniel King | A J Martin | 8 | 63.5 kg |
81
80/1
|
| 19th | 2 | 9 |
Dos Mukasan (G)
Useful performer in France, winning minor events at Longchamp and Chantilly in 2025. Sold from Christopher Head for €22,000 since last seen.
|
Ben Coen | Gerard O'Leary | 4 | 62.6 kg |
51
50/1
|
| 18th | 3 | 18 |
Gleneagle Bay (G)
[T]
Plenty of good efforts in defeat last season, unsuited by drop in trip final start. Starts campaign off a decent mark.
|
D Egan | Stephen Thorne | 6 | 61.7 kg |
6
5/1
|
| 15th | 4 | 7 |
Genuine Article (G)
Always behind in a couple of maiden hurdles in December but was a close second in Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D last summer and is a player on that form.
|
Gary Carroll | G Keane | 6 | 60.3 kg |
21
20/1
|
| 10th | 5 | 4 |
Iron Fist (G)
[H]
Progressive sort who has won 2 of his last 3 start, justifying strong support with a bit in hand at Clonmel in September. Player if ready to go back down in trip.
|
Shane Foley | Mrs J Harrington | 4 | 59.9 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 13th | 6 | 11 |
Engines On (G)
[T]
Improving type who made it 2-4 in 2025 in 12-runner handicap here (7f) in September. Might have needed the run on return here last month.
|
Chris Hayes | J A Kinsella | 6 | 59.4 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 14th | 7 | 14 |
Kibris (G)
[T]
Not as good over hurdles as he is on the Flat but has work to do defy current mark back in this sphere.
|
J M Sheridan | J P O'Brien | 4 | 59 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 2nd | 8 | 6 |
Diego El Queso (G)
Off the mark in maiden at Dundalk in October. Good placed efforts next 2 of 3 starts and respected back on turf after a break.
|
Colin Keane | G M Lyons | 4 | 58.5 kg |
19
18/1
|
| 4th | 9 | 12 |
Perry Mason (G)
FAV
Dual scorer last term and all the better for return when narrow winner over C&D last week, taking form to another level. Needs considering up 7 lb.
|
Declan McDonogh | Maurice Ahern | 5 | 58.5 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 17th | 10 | 19 |
Westminster Moon (G)
[T]
Smart at best in Germany but disappointed for this yard last season. Significantly down in trip on return.
|
Seamie Heffernan | A J Martin | 6 | 58.5 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 7th | 11 | 2 |
Final Voyage (G)
Losing run is mounting up but went close a few times last season and has fitness on his side after a couple of respectable runs this term.
|
Jessica Maye | J P Murtagh | 8 | 57.6 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 11th | 12 | 5 |
Quatre Bras (G)
Dual scorer over extended 1¼m at Dundalk in the autumn and consistency hard to knock subsequently, good ½-length second to Independent Expert at Naas 12 days ago. Return to 1m will suit so high on shortlist.
|
Billy Lee | R O'Brien | 5 | 57.6 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 6th | 13 | 16 |
Independent Expert (M)
[B]
Bounced back to form to spring a surprise back on turf after 3 months off when winning at Naas by ½ length from Quatre Bras 12 days ago. That was only her second start for this yard so can come on again.
|
Robert Whearty | D Hogan | 7 | 57.2 kg |

28/1
|
| 9th | 14 | 20 |
Calm The Jets (G)
25,000 gns yearling, €12,000 2-y-o, Bated Breath colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Landshark and 7f winner Faattik, both useful. Defied big odds to make a winning debut in Dundalk maiden in January 2015 but off since. Opening mark looks har…

Rory Cleary | C W J Farrell | 4 | 56.7 kg |

28/1
|
| 16th | 15 | 17 |
Blues Emperor (G)
[P]
Struggled to recapture best form in the autumn and down the field both starts for new yard this season. Headgear back on.
|
Nathan Crosse | William Harvey | 7 | 56.2 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 1st | 16 | 21 |
Key Witness (G)
Progressive sort who won 20-runner handicap over 7f here in November, well positioned just off the strong gallop and keeping on in the manner of one that will have no problem getting at least 1m.
|
Alan Persse | P J Flynn | 4 | 56.2 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 8th | 17 | 13 |
Playin Cool (G)
Progressive form in maidens, off the mark at the third attempt at Leopardstown in October. More needed again off this opening mark but he remains unexposed.
|
Luke McAteer | J Feane | 4 | 56.2 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 5th | 18 | 1 |
Highbury See See (G)
Got back on the up with victory in 15-runner handicap over C&D (soft) in October. Not seen to best effect on return here last month and better expected now.
|
Andrew Slattery | A Slattery | 4 | 54.9 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 3rd | 19 | 8 |
Lady Lilac (F)
Finally off the mark in maiden at Killarney in October and shaped better than the bare result in C&D handicap final start, denied clear run having been left with a lot to do. Off 5 months.
|
Wayne Lordan | J G Murphy | 4 | 54.9 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 21th | 20 | 15 |
Vain Gloria (M)
Won Killarney maiden and conditions race at Cork in summer 2023. Down the field in Group 3 here 9 months later but not seen since (has left P. Twomey).

Killian Leonard | M J Tynan | 6 | 54 kg |

| 12th | 21 | 10 |
Daonethatgotaway (G)
[PT]
Continues to hold his form well at Dundalk but he's not as reliable on turf. 2 lb out of handicap.
|
Patrick McGettigan | M Fahey | 6 | 54 kg |
