Jordan Breeze (G)
FAV
[H]
Opened his account at Dundalk last October and ran a cracker returning from 5 months off (hooded) when second of 10 there 10 days ago. His dam got better with age and he is sure to win more races.

| 8th | 2 | 14 |
Platino Bianco (M)
[PT]
His sole win from 28 starts came at Newcastle in December but he did go very close to a second success in a 6f Dundalk claimer in February. Didn't see her race out back on turf at Navan 12 days ago so others more appealing.

Nicola Burns | Conor Maxwell | 5 | 64 kg |

Jazzit (G)
[P]
Still a maiden after 8 runs but placed on all 3 starts for this yard, third of 10 at Dundalk over 5f (11/2) 10 days ago in first-time cheekpieces. Remains of interest switched to turf.

James Ryan | T G McCourt | 4 | 63.5 kg |

| 1st | 4 | 16 |
Alnofoor (G)
[T]
Suited by having a sound gallop to aim at when winning 15-runner handicap at Navan over 6f (9/2) 12 days ago, taking advantage of a near-basement mark when returning from 4 months off. Up 9 lbs and wouldn't be sure to back that up here.

Jack Kearney | C O'Connell | 8 | 62.1 kg |

Only Spoofing (G)
Runner-up twice on turf in the autumn but went backwards from reappearance at Dundalk last month. May well prove vulnerable to younger legs back on turf.

Rory Cleary | Kevin Coleman | 12 | 61.2 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | 6 |
Art Of Unity (G)
Made a winning start for this yard over C&D in October but subsequently disqualified after testing positive for banned substance. Tailed off at Navan later that month and makes return for a new stable.

Luke McAteer | Miss K Brown | 11 | 59.4 kg |

Baggot Street (F)
[B1]
Long-standing maiden who got going too late to threaten at Southwell in December. First run for new trainer and first-time blinkers are reached for.

Rory Mulligan | John O'Donoghue | 3 | 59.4 kg |

10/1
|
| 15th | 8 | 3 |
Girl Is On Fire (F)
Handicap debut following three modest efforts, failing to improve when eighth of 12 at Dundalk (10/1) in December. Makes turf/yard debut but hard to fancy on what she's shown so far dropped to the minimum trip.

Robert Whearty | Patrick Turley | 3 | 59.4 kg |

| 12th | 9 | 18 |
Never Shout Never (G)
[T]
Extended long losing run on his first turf start of the campaign when ninth of 15 at Navan on heavy (12/1) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Gavin Ryan | A McNamara | 6 | 59.4 kg |

Simmering Seas (F)
Shaped much better than the bare result on first outing since leaving Donnacha Aidan O'Brien after 7 months off when sixth of 15 in a handicap at Naas (16/1) 20 days ago, nearly coming down 1f out. Bred for 7f+, so being kept to 5f may not…

Happy Henry (G)
FAV
[V]
Still a maiden after 15 starts but showed ability on return from a 4-month break when third of 15 at Navan 12 days ago, though carried head awkwardly and didn't run on when every chance entering the final 1f. Opposable for win purposes.
|
Billy Lee | W McCreery | 5 | 58.1 kg |

Steel Magnolia (F)
[V1]
Awarded race over C&D in October (Art of Unity disqualified) and not disgraced on both starts at Dundalk in December. First-time visor applied for her return to turf and she's considered.

Declan McDonogh | W McCreery | 4 | 58.1 kg |

Glen Breeze (G)
[P1]
Has finished well held on all 3 starts so far. Needs to show much more now handicapping in first-time headgear.

Patrick McGettigan | P Magee | 3 | 57.2 kg |

Half Nutz (G)
On long losing run and ran a typical race on first outing since leaving Terence O'Brien after 5 months off when seventh of 15 at Navan (40/1) 12 days ago, slowly into stride before closing up late. Hard to make a case.

Iryna's Star (F)
[T]
Best effort when third at Dundalk in January but has run poorly since, not seen to best effect on turf debut when eighth of 15 in a handicap at Naas (14/1) 20 days ago, racing on the unfavoured stand side. Handicapper drops her another 2 l…

Apache Star (G)
On long losing run and shaped as if needing run on first start for a new yard when sixth of 15 in a Navan handicap (66/1) 12 days ago. RESERVE.

Polar Bear (G)
[P]
C&D winner in 2023. Wasn't disgraced racing from a career-low mark on his return from 5 months off when fourth of 15 at Navan (8/1) 12 days ago. RESERVE.

She's A Gift (F)
Still a maiden but improved all of a sudden when putting in good late work to finish fourth of 14 at Dundalk in January. Not so good back there earlier in the month, however. RESERVE.
