Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Form | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16th | 1 | 20 |
Lark In The Mornin (G)
Fred Winter winner of 2024 who confirmed himself a useful performer in this sphere when landing a double in a conditions race at Listowel last September and he's weighted to make a bold bid for the hat-trick on handicap debut.

Delta (G)
[T]
Well-bred Fairyhouse maiden winner who probably needed the run when down the field at Listowel last September. Has been given time by his excellent stable (gelded in the interim) and cannot be discounted on just his second start in a handi…

2315-40 | Oisin Murphy | J P O'Brien | 4 | 64.4 kg |

| — | 3 | 4 |
Granite Bay (G)
Likeably sort who typically gave his running when fourth at Gowran (1½m, soft) on return, and while this is a deeper race, he's not ruled out in his bid for a fourth career success.

Kilmeaden (G)
[T]
Useful handicap form as a 3-y-o and while he didn't kick on following over hurdles success at Punchestown, it was a creditable return to the Flat when seventh of 15 (in a first-time tongue strap) at Cork last month.
|

Kingstonian (G)
FAV
Tramore maiden winner for Mrs J. Harrington (sold 90,000gns) who finished a well-backed second in the Chester Plate on first start for Joseph O'Brien earlier this month. That was a step forward and the drop back in trip shouldn't inconveni…

|
| 18th | 6 | 18 |
Reverend Hubert (G)
[P]
Useful hurdler who didn't see out his race under more positive tactics when fifth in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last October. Cheekpieces refitted for this drop back in distance and could be in the mix if this becomes a test of stamina.
|
8/0915-0 | D Egan | C Byrnes | 8 | 63 kg |

50/1
|
| 20th | 7 | 16 |
Robbies Rock (G)
[PT]
Winner of this race 12 months ago, he was likely in need of the run on reappearance at Gowran last time, and is likely to benefit from the refitting of cheekpieces.
|

| 6th | 8 | 15 |
Highwind (G)

Fairly useful sort who took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 14 in a competitive staying handicap at Down Royal (18.6f) last September. Drops back in distance but has headgear on for the first time for current yard (won in…

| 1st | 9 | 1 |
Westminster Moon (G)
[T]
Smart at best in Germany and while again well below that form over 1¼m at Cork last time, he shapes as though well worth another try over this sort of test.
|
000-071 | Seamie Heffernan | A J Martin | 6 | 60.8 kg |

17/2
|
| 22th | 10 | 26 |
Sea Coral (F)
[H1]
Bellewstown maiden winner was easy to back when offering little on reappearance at Cork and has a bit to prove in a first-time hood.
|

| 19th | 11 | 9 |
Alba Chiara (F)
Improved again when runner-up at Down Royal last September. That's form to view positively and she could have a big say if ready to roll.
|
3012-00 | Wayne Lordan | N Lupini | 4 | 59.9 kg |
41
40/1

| 8th | 12 | 3 |
Ragmans Corner (G)
Improved when making a winning reappearance over hurdles at Killarney and finds himself in a more realistic grade back on the level.

| 5th | 13 | 7 |
Storm Heart (G)
Hasn't run on the Flat for more than 3 years since winning a maiden in France, but he looks potentially thrown in on his smart hurdle form and could be the one they all have to beat.
|
24331/ | Ben Coen | W P Mullins | 6 | 59.9 kg |
7
6/1
|
| 2nd | 14 | 23 |
Marazion (F)
Bred to need time/distance and she didn't need to improve to get off the mark on reappearance at Roscommon. Looks on a favourable mark for her handicap debut.
|
437-126 | Shane Foley | Mrs J Harrington | 4 | 59 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 24th | 15 | 12 |
Chutzpal (G)
[B]
Showed a fine attitude to win at Killarney before chasing home Reverend Hubert at Newmarket last September. He reopposes that rival on better terms and needs considering.
|
73312-0 | Billy Lee | H De Bromhead | 7 | 58.5 kg |
23
22/1
|
| 17th | 16 | 11 |
Come On The Lads (G)
[H]
Versatile sort who has been successful over fences since last seen on Flat at Laytown and isn't one to rule out on the best of his form.
|
26451-7 | Gary Carroll | G P Cromwell | 6 | 58.5 kg |

| — | 17 | 8 |
Slurricane (G)
[P]
Bounced back to form on return to the Flat when fourth of 10 in a handicap at Gowran (1¾m, soft) last time but this is a much deeper race.

Genoah (G)

4-time all-weather winner has yet to prove as good on turf, including on reappearance at Leopardstown (1¼m) 2 weeks ago.

Whimsy (M)
[P]
Went close on the Flat at Musselburgh last month but didn't look straightforward when eighth of 24 in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown on her latest start.

Carthusian (G)
[B]
Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve for the switch to handicaps at Ballinrobe on reappearance and hopes pinned on the return of more severe headgear.
|
56-7079 | Nathan Crosse | Mrs J Harrington | 4 | 57.2 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 13th | 21 | 21 |
Pavilion End (G)
Didn't pull up any trees in handicaps on the all-weather this year and ran too freely in a maiden hurdle at Cork when last seen in March.

|
| 7th | 22 | 19 |
Kool One (G)
[T]
Ran his best race to record a third success on the Flat at Navan last month and while this is tougher, he should be suited by the likely strong pace.

| 15th | 23 | 5 |
Trubshaw (G)
[P]
Dual winner who ran to form when creditable 5¼ lengths eighth of 20 to Kool One on his comeback at Navan and isn't dismissed returning to this C&D (1-1) with cheekpieces back on.
|
21641-8 | Gabriella Hill | H De Bromhead | 4 | 55.3 kg |
19
18/1
|
| 12th | 24 | 10 |
Steps In The Sand (M)
On the up when recording a hat-trick in lesser events last summer and is best not judged harshly on her reappearance at Ballinrobe.

|
| 14th | 25 | 13 |
High Honour (G)
Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 14 in a handicap (33/1) at Roscommon (1½m) and while this is a significant step up in class, he's not handicapped out of this on best form.
|
0203/4P- | Jimmy Dalton | D Kinsella | 6 | 54.4 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 21th | 26 | 27 |
Maeve Brennan (F)
Low-mileage Teofilo filly is steadily progressing, having been better placed than most when second of 23 in a handicap at Navan (1¼m), and she's far from exposed tackling this trip for the first time.

635-520 | Declan McDonogh | J S Bolger | 4 | 54.4 kg |

Spanish John (G)
Below form over hurdles at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and looks to have an uphill task from out of the handicap on return to the Flat.
