Norwalk Havoc (G)
[V1T]
Three of his 4 career wins have come over this C&D, the most recent in the Knockaire Stakes in October. However, he has come up short in a couple of handicaps so far this season and looks vulnerable under a penalty.

Cowardofthecounty (G)
[T1]
Group 3 winner at 2 yrs but failed to make an impact in 3 appearances last season. Now tried in a tongue strap.

Declan McDonogh | J P O'Brien | 4 | 60.3 kg |

| 2nd | 3 | 10 |
Expanded (C)
Winner of a maiden at the Curragh prior to going close in the Dewhurst on the second of his 2 starts as a juvenile. Little impact in 3 runs last season but needs a second look with his sights lowered here. Yard also saddles Mississippi Riv…

Lord Massusus (G)
Back to his best when getting on top close home in this race 12 months ago but he's proved rather hit-and-miss since, finishing out with the washing on his recent reappearance at the Curragh.

Gary Carroll | J G Murphy | 6 | 60.3 kg |

|
| 5th | 5 | 5 |
Mississippi River (C)
[B]
Placed all 3 starts at 2 yrs and held his form well last season, winning 3 times and making the frame on several occasions. The Lion In Winter is clearly the stable No 1 but he's not without each-way hope.
|
Gavin Ryan | A P O'Brien | 4 | 60.3 kg |

|
| 9th | 6 | 8 |
Mutasarref (G)
[P]
Four-time winner here and just touched off by Lord Massusus in last season's renewal of this contest. Below par final run of 2025 but the heavy ground was against him that day and conditions will be more suitable this time.
|
Colin Keane | G M Lyons | 8 | 60.3 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 7th | 7 | 4 |
Ribee (G)
[T]
Winner of the Irish Lincolnshire on his reappearance at the Curragh last month and found just one too good in another valuable handicap at that course 12 days ago. Place possibilities.

Ben Coen | M Mulvany | 4 | 60.3 kg |

The Lion In Winter (C)
FAV
Winner of both starts at 2 yrs and while he failed to add to his tally last season, there were several solid efforts in Group 1 company to point to, including a fine third in the Breeders Cup Mile. Very much the one to beat

Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | 4 | 60.3 kg |

11/10

| 4th | 9 | 3 |
Tokenomics (G)
Winner of handicaps at Cork and Dundalk last season and reappearance third in a minor event at the latter course will have blown away the cobwebs. Likely to be on the premises.

Luke McAteer | D Marnane | 5 | 60.3 kg |

9/1
|
| 11th | 10 | 9 |
Gaiety Girl (F)
Progressive filly who opened her account at the fourth attempt in 1m Dundalk maiden 19 days ago. Remains open to improvement but almost certainly biting off more than she can chew now upped in class for this turf debut.

J M Sheridan | P F McEnery | 4 | 58.1 kg |

Jancis (M)
[T]
Useful mare who was a Group 3 winner over 7f here in 2024 and was runner-up twice in listed company last season, including at Dundalk when last seen in November. Will be a threat if fully tuned up for this assignment.

Billy Lee | W McCreery | 5 | 58.1 kg |

|
| 10th | 12 | 6 |
Tarima (F)
Winner of a C&D maiden on debut last spring and made the frame in a listed contest at Gowran and the Group 2 Blandford Stakes at the Curragh on final 2 starts of that campaign. Likely to do better still as a 4-y-o and she needs considering.

Chris Hayes | D K Weld | 4 | 58.1 kg |
