|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9th | 1 | 10 |
Giselles Defence (G)
[P]
Small step in the right direction when fifth at Bellewstown last time. He's slipped a long way in the weights and is worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.
|
Jimmy Dalton | Sean Davis | 6 | 64.4 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 7th | 2 | 14 |
Keilah (M)
[T1]
Has been off since unseating on final start for W. McCreery in late-September. Tongue strap goes on for new connections, and she ought to be competitive if back on song for her return.
|
Gary Noonan | M M McNiff | 6 | 64.4 kg |
9
8/1
|
| 5th | 3 | 9 |
Think About It (F)
Maiden has made no impact in 2 starts for new yard and hopes rest on a significant step up in trip.
|
Wesley Joyce | T P McGettigan | 4 | 64 kg |

50/1
|
| 2nd | 4 | 3 |
She's Ideal (F)
Maiden posted her best run in a handicap when fourth of 16 at Gowran (1m) on reappearance, though does have stamina to prove upped in distance.
|
J M Sheridan | P W Flynn | 4 | 62.1 kg |
3.50
5/2
|
| 4th | 5 | 6 |
Sarangpur (G)
FAV
Much improved on just second start for current connections, finishing third of 14 in a handicap at Gowran, and makes plenty of appeal, with that form working out well.
|
Rory Mulligan | Paul Mulligan | 4 | 61.2 kg |
3.25
9/4
|
| — | 6 | 8 |
Cleopatra's Needle (M)
[H]
Shaped as though on a handy mark when runner-up at Leopardstown (1m) last month. Confirmed she's not as well treated over hurdles at Bellewstown last time, though a bold bid is expected returning to the Flat.
|
Siobhan Rutledge | H Rogers | 8 | 60.3 kg |
4
3/1
|
| 10th | 7 | 13 |
Cuckaloo Hill (F)
[T1]
Showed little in 3 starts for current yard last year. Returns with a tongue strap replacing cheekpieces.
|
James Ryan | M Flannery | 4 | 60.3 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 1st | 8 | 5 |
Metamorpheus (G)
Remains with just a sole win over jumps but shaped well when third in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last time, and he makes some appeal on first Flat start for current yard.
|
Jamie Orr | A McNamara | 7 | 60.3 kg |
6
5/1
|
| 11th | 9 | 12 |
Spirit Of Indalo (F)
Looked limited in 7f/1m maidens at the end of last year, though does at least switch to a handicap/longer trip on her return.
|
Hugh Horgan | R Brabazon | 4 | 59 kg |
26
25/1
|
| — | 10 | 11 |
Copper Craft (G)
Low-mileage 4-y-o hit the frame for the third consecutive start at Dundalk on return from 4 months off last time, and he's a player if translating that form to turf.
|
Billy Lee | A Oliver | 4 | 58.5 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 12th | 11 | 2 |
Angel Harry (G)
[T]
Showed nothing on handicap debut at Roscommon last September and has plenty to prove.
|
Robbie Colgan | P J F Murphy | 4 | 57.6 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 3rd | 12 | 4 |
Creative Dancer (G)
[P]
Remains with one standout effort on the Flat and he was below form when mid-field in a Naas handicap hurdle on latest start in January.
|
Sadhbh Tormey | Ian Donoghue | 9 | 55.3 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 6th | 13 | 7 |
Haeret In Pectore (G)
[PT]
Has hinted there could be better to come for current connections, and while arriving on the back of a poor run at Dundalk in January, he's worth a second look in the betting.
|
Declan McDonogh | A J Martin | 5 | 55.3 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 8th | 14 | 1 |
Serengeti Sunrise (G)
Well held in a classified stakes at Newcastle in February and looks opposable back in a handicap.

J Cleary | R K Watson | 5 | 55.3 kg |
