| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 6 |
Lady Arwen (M)
Again failed to prove her effectiveness on the all-weather (0-5) at Dundalk last time, though she's recorded 2 of her 3 wins at this track and looks interesting in this grade.
|
Sam Coen | C O'Dwyer | 7 | 64.4 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 15th | 2 | 10 |
The Blue Panther (G)
[P]
Has made a winning reappearance at Listowel previous 2 seasons and this could be the time to catch him, returning from a 5-month break.
|
Nicola Burns | R P Burns | 8 | 64.4 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 5th | 3 | 1 |
Not Simple (F)
[H]
Probably needed the run when eleventh of 23 at Curragh last time and should do better returning to the grade of her sole previous success, with a handy draw to boot.
|
Killian Leonard | J M Barrett | 4 | 63 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 7th | 4 | 13 |
Zephron (G)
[P]
Having joined an in-form stable, failed badly to justify support on reappearance at Navan last time. Clearly thought capable of better, though.
|
Mikey Sheehy | A McCann | 9 | 62.6 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 4th | 5 | 7 |
She's Ideal (F)
Lightly-raced maiden stepped forward from her reappearance/stable debut when fourth of 14 in claimer at Dundalk in October. Off further 15 months but does have Colin Keane aboard first time.
|
Colin Keane | P W Flynn | 4 | 62.1 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 13th | 6 | 4 |
Famous Enough (G)
[T]
Never looked like following up his Dundalk success when sixth of 13 (under a penalty) in handicap at Cork in late-September, though ought to find the pace set-up more in his favour this time.
|
Luke McAteer | P T Foley | 6 | 61.2 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 6th | 7 | 11 |
Rock Basher (G)
FAV
Long-standing maiden who was struggling for form on the all-weather for Denis Hogan over the winter, though promising claimer takes off valuable 7 lb on first start for new yard.
|
Reese Holohan | Aidan Melia | 7 | 60.3 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 12th | 8 | 15 |
Roderick (G)
[PT]
Below form both all-weather starts over the winter but has plenty of form in this grade on turf, for all his draw is less than ideal.
|
J M Sheridan | P Sweeney | 10 | 59.9 kg |
21
20/1
|
| 16th | 9 | 14 |
Red Veil (F)
[P]
Maiden has shaped like a non-stayer over hurdles this season. Cheekpieces back on but hard to be confident with her Flat form more miss than hit.
|
Ronan Whelan | A Sexton | 4 | 59.4 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 10th | 10 | 8 |
Galactic Grey (G)
[T]
Naturally a concern that this inconsistent sort has been off over 3 years off.
|
Donagh O'Connor | C P Donoghue | 9 | 59 kg |
51
50/1
|
| 14th | 11 | 5 |
Rock Etoile (G)
Won this race in 2023 but yet to fire in three starts for new yard, latest on the all-weather in February.
|
Seamie Heffernan | P J McKenna | 8 | 59 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 3rd | 12 | 12 |
Hell Left Loose (G)
[B]
Veteran went a long way to confirming his return to form when sixth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh last time, now only 1 lb above his latest winning mark.
|
Mel Sheridan | D Hogan | 10 | 58.5 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 11th | 13 | 9 |
Kilgharrahs Love (F)
[P1]
Maiden has hit the frame in this grade but cheekpieces go on for first time (previously worn a visor without success), following an underwhelming comeback run at the Curragh.
|
Rory Cleary | T Cleary | 4 | 57.6 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 8th | 14 | 16 |
Master Garvey (G)
[T]
Placed twice in this grade off higher marks last summer and has been running creditably on the all-weather, latest when third of 11 at Dundalk. Needs considering despite a tricky draw.
|
Rory Mulligan | Joseph Murray | 6 | 55.8 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 2nd | 15 | 17 |
Miss Americana (F)
Maiden had run of in-frame efforts ended when 8¾ lengths sixth of 14 to Hell Left Loose in handicap at this course last October, though she's less exposed than most in this field.
|
Shane Foley | C O'Brien | 4 | 55.8 kg |

8/1
|
| 9th | 16 | 2 |
Carrickfinn (G)
[BT]
Hit-and-miss performer went close to breaking her duck at this track last June but was out of sorts when last seen on the all-weather in February.
|
Siobhan Rutledge | Shane Gallagher | 7 | 55.3 kg |
