Runners

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Strange Currency (G) [P1] Easily best effort over hurdles (fair form) when third of 15 in maiden at Punchestown in February, ridden positively. Nowhere near that level since and is tried in cheekpieces for handicap debut.	367U5/6	Eoin Staples	G O'Loughlin	6	75.3 kg	21 20/1
—	2	—	Tangara Bay (M) Built on previous promise in this sphere when winning 12-runner novice over longer trip at this course (heavy) 19 days ago. Goes handicapping now and likely has more to offer.	24-451	Darragh O'Keeffe	H De Bromhead	6	73.5 kg	4 3/1
1st	3	—	Ned In The Park (G) Still a maiden but posted creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Gowran (2m, soft) when last seen in October and returns on a fair mark.	741-493	Mr D Doyle	T Doyle	7	73 kg	9 8/1
3rd	4	—	Paradise Lost (G) [P] Posted best for for some time, in first-time cheekpieces, when good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy, 14/1) 38 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Races off same mark here and is not taken lightly.	812/90-5	Gavin Brouder	C O'Brien	7	72.6 kg	6 5/1
2nd	5	—	Thisain'tthat (G) Well supported when sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Limerick (2m, soft) 14 days ago and remains open to improvement on switch to handicapping.	5562/	Daniel King	M A Molloy	6	72.6 kg	9.50 17/2
5th	6	—	Mic Drop (G) Not scored since 2024 and has been below form over fences the last twice. More effective in this sphere, though, and could be a player here.	49065-1	Sean Flanagan	D M O'Brien	7	71.7 kg	4.50 7/2
6th	7	—	Former Flame (M) Matched best form when creditable second of 9 in novice hurdle at Killarney 11 months ago. Not seen since but is worth monitoring in market on return/handicap debut.	35972-2	R Deegan	Liz Doyle	6	70.3 kg	7.50 13/2
7th	8	—	The Guinness Boys (G) Yet to really threaten in this sphere and arrives on back of poor effort on chase debut at Wexford.	P0P9P7/	Conor Stone-Walsh	G P Cromwell	7	69.4 kg	21 20/1
—	9	—	King Gris (G) [B] Made winning handicap debut over this trip at Ayr in December and followed up at Hexham 10 days later. Not in quite same form, in first-time blinkers, when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal 2 days ago but must enter calculations…	59115/5	Jack Kennedy	G Elliott	6	68 kg	7 6/1
4th	10	—	Private Policy (G) [T] Ran encouragingly on hurdles debut at Thurles earlier this year but has rather gone the wrong way since and looks on a stiff mark for his handicap debut.	53404/1	Paddy Cleary	N Slevin	8	67.1 kg	9.50 17/2
—	11	—	Spellacy's Cross (G) FAV Won a couple of handicap chases here in October but well below that level over hurdles more recently, including when sixth at Down Royal 2 days ago.	556F/34	Jordan Gainford	J Barcoe	7	63.5 kg	4 3/1

Betting forecast: Spellacy's Cross (3/1), Tangara Bay (3/1), Mic Drop (7/2), Paradise Lost (5/1), King Gris (6/1), Former Flame (13/2), Ned In The Park (8/1), Thisain'tthat (17/2), Private Policy (17/2), The Guinness Boys (20/1), Strange Currency (20/1)
