Coral River (G)
Has made a good start over fences for this yard, although looked sure to win for most of the way at Fairyhouse (2m) 13 weeks ago until idling late. Back up in trip and seems sure to be bang there.

Littlefoot (G)
Bounced back to form sent chasing when landing 19.5f Downpatrick maiden a fortnight ago, though made quite hard work of things. Needs a bit more to defy penalty.

The Great Nudie (M)
FAV
Won 2½m Naas mares maiden chase at the start of the year but not so good twice since (failed to stay 3m first time). Can bounce back down in trip/class.

Kamikaz Du Plessis (G)
[T]
Dual winner over hurdles but has looked hard ride in maidens over fences, carrying head awkwardly following 4 months off at Leopardstown. Classy but risky.

Jack Kennedy | G Elliott | 6 | 72.6 kg |

Nas Na Riogh (G)
[P]
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser but has a patchy record, below form when last seen in November. Cheekpieces back on for return and probably vulnerable.

Darragh O'Keeffe | H De Bromhead | 8 | 70.3 kg |

| 6th | 6 | — |
Ad Caelum (M)
Fairly useful handicap hurdler, successful twice over further in May/August. 0-10 over fences since and looks set to fall short again on these terms.

Michael Kenneally | J P Ryan | 7 | 69.4 kg |

Great Universe (G)
[T]
Bumper/hurdles winner made an inauspicious start in this sphere but completed for the first time over fences back from 4 months off at Downpatrick (behind Littlefoot) a fortnight ago.

Ricky Doyle | M Brassil | 10 | 69.4 kg |
