| 12th | 1 | 10 |
Hamiyan (G)
Made the frame on all 3 starts after his debut last season, fourth of 12 in nursery at Leopardstown (1m) when last seen in September. Likely type to progress at 3 yrs.

Boston Benjamin (C)
[T]
Promise in maidens last year and took a small step forward to get off the mark in a first-time tongue strap in 11-runner handicap (10/1) at Dundalk back in February. 8 lb higher returned to turf but this step up to 1m could unlock further …

| 13th | 3 | 9 |
Gonna Be Golden (F)
Clearly learnt plenty from debut and showed much improved form to get off the mark in 12-runner maiden (9/2) at Dundalk (7f) in December. Likely to stay 1m and is open to further improvement on turf/handicap debut.

Billy Lee | A Oliver | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Vantage Code (G)
Seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind last season so may prove a different proposition on return/handicap debut (has been gelded).

Gary Carroll | E Mullins | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 4th | 5 | 12 |
Venetian Star (G)
Standout effort so far when 1½ lengths second of 14 to Sovereign Thought in nursery at Down Royal (7.1f, good) last September. Possibly unsuited by conditions at the Curragh later that month and has switched yards ahead of this return.

Ben Coen | P T Foley | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | 4 |
Johnny Soda (G)
Finished runner-up in a barrier trial before progressing steadily in maidens in the autumn. Ran poorly on handicap debut after 5 months off at Naas (7f, heavy, 12/1) recently so needs to leave that behind (has been gelded).

Closely (F)
Showed more than first time up when fourth of 10 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) last June and might have needed the run after 10 months off at this track recently. Highly likely there's more to come based on her pedigree now handicapping upp…

Down The Glen (G)
Seems well suited by testing conditions and showed improved form to get off the mark in clearcut fashion back at 7f in 15-runnner nursery at Galway back in October. 7 lb higher on return and fancied to have more to offer this season (has b…

Mo Anam Chara (F)
Left previous efforts behind when second of 11 in nursery (11/4) at Dundalk (1m) in December. Plenty to like back on turf after 4 months off.

Divine Believer (F)
Make Believe filly who has finished nearer last than first in 3 maidens since the turn of the year (showed more on latest). Hopes pinned on this switch to a handicap sparking further improvement.

Robbie Colgan | H De Bromhead | 3 | 58.1 kg |

Arctic Assassin (G)
[P1]
No better than mid-field in 3 maidens towards the end of last year, though was unsuited by the drop in trip last time. Makes handicap debut/return back at a more suitable distance (has been gelded).

Pass The Buck (G)

Nearer last than first in 3 maidens last year, showing a bit more than previously despite finding things happening too quickly at Dundalk (6f) in November. Cheekpieces applied for this return/handicap bow back up in distance (has been geld…

Hambelton (G)
Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested after 4 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap at Cork (1m, heavy) 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. Remains likely to do better at some stage.

Dreoilin (F)
FAV
Did well under the circumstances second of 13 in handicap at Navan (1¼m, heavy) just under 3 weeks ago, seeing the longer trip out really well considering how hard she pulled early on. Capable of better again dropped back to 1m.
