Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th | 1 | 4 |
Vega's Muse (F)
[P]
Produced a career-best when winning a 17-runner handicap at this course (1m, good to soft) 3 days ago, getting first run. Has to be taken seriously under a penalty.
|
Keithen Kennedy | Mrs J Harrington | 4 | 65.3 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 15th | 2 | 3 |
Finsceal Annie (M)
[T]
C&D winner who was a below-par sixth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) when last seen in November. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.
|
Ben Coen | Ciaran Murphy | 5 | 63.5 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 5th | 3 | 10 |
Chester Nimitz (G)
Didn't need to improve when winning a 12-runner maiden at Navan (6f, soft) during the autumn on final run for Noel Meade. More on his plate now pitched into a handicap for new yard.
|
Shane Foley | Gerard O'Leary | 4 | 62.6 kg |

28/1
|
| 4th | 4 | 17 |
Senna's Girl (F)
[T1]
Out with the washing in a handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy) on her seasonal reappearance last month. Now tried in a tongue strap and reproduction of her peak form would put her in the picture.
|
Diego Lima | D Dias | 4 | 62.6 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 13th | 5 | 8 |
Anvika (M)
[T]
Losing run mounting up and she was again below par when 7½ lengths eighth of 17 to Vega's Muse in handicap here (1m, good to soft) 3 days ago. Others preferred.
|
Robbie Colgan | S Lavery | 5 | 62.1 kg |
9
8/1
|
| 8th | 6 | 6 |
I Bid You Ajou (G)
Three wins from 10 runs last year. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 14 days ago and this 5-y-o can be expected to make a bold bid to go one better here.
|
Joseph Harnett | M Fahey | 5 | 62.1 kg |
7
6/1
|
| 16th | 7 | 1 |
Thru And Thru (F)
FAV
[T]
Lightly-raced maiden who finished a very good third of 12 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 24 days ago. Place possibilities with Colin Keane booked.

Colin Keane | Rory Devine | 4 | 62.1 kg |

| 11th | 8 | 11 |
Free Solo (G)
[PT]
Notched second success of 2025 in a Roscommon handicap (7,5f, good) in August but he's failed to make an impact in 4 subsequent starts and is still 6 lb above that winning mark.
|
Chris Hayes | P J F Murphy | 9 | 61.7 kg |

| 1st | 9 | 16 |
Glory To Be (F)
[P]
Successful at Navan in October and delivered a good performance when second of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) on return 12 days ago. Solid each-way chance.
|
Billy Lee | M C Grassick | 4 | 60.8 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 3rd | 10 | 5 |
Greek Flower (M)
Sported a first-time hood and tongue strap when a below-par form fifth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) in November, suited by way race developed. Could have a say if fully tuned up.
|
Ronan Whelan | J Feane | 7 | 60.8 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 6th | 11 | 14 |
Thaloria (F)
Winner at Dundalk in January and posted another good effort there when second in 7f claimer 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Still, some of the others are more appealing in this handicap.
|
Wayne Lordan | N Lupini | 4 | 60.8 kg |
29
28/1
|
| 2nd | 12 | 15 |
Goal Exceeded (G)
[T]
Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on final appearance of 2025 but nevertheless looks vulnerable back from a 164-day absence.
|
Adam Caffrey | A McGuinness | 5 | 57.6 kg |
6.50
11/2
|
| 12th | 13 | 13 |
Pebble Island (G)
[T]
Unseated rider in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 50/1) 123 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor and he's opposable.
|
James Ryan | J C McConnell | 4 | 57.6 kg |
81
80/1
|
| 9th | 14 | 7 |
Proleek Prince (G)
Tenth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) when last seen in November and looks set for another struggle.

Robert Whearty | M Rice | 6 | 57.2 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 10th | 15 | 12 |
Hugo's Girl (F)
[H1]
Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 26 days ago and could have a part to play here if able to build on that with a first-time hood enlisted.
|
Rory Mulligan | Thomas Dowling | 4 | 56.2 kg |

| 14th | 16 | 2 |
Verhoyen (G)
[P]
Arrives here on a 16-race losing run and finished nearer last than first at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on final run of 2025. Cheekpieces refitted.

N G McCullagh | M C Grassick | 11 | 55.8 kg |

Amemri (M)
[V]
Four wins from 10 runs last year, the latest at Dundalk in March. Respectable fifth of 12 in 6f handicap at that course 14 days ago and each-way chance if she makes the cut. RESERVE.
