|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th | 1 | 15 |
Verhoyen (G)
[P]
Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 20/1) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Should find this test much more suitable and Billy Lee rides.

Billy Lee | M C Grassick | 11 | 64.4 kg |

Young Churchill (G)
Maiden hurdle winner but struggled back on Flat last twice. Ran over 1¾m last time and drops significantly down in trip now.

Shane Foley | R O'Brien | 5 | 64.4 kg |

| 7th | 3 | 8 |
Kitty Bear (F)
Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (7f, soft) 13 days ago by 3 lengths from Majestic King. Paid for it with an 8 lb rise and perhaps not an obvious one to follow up.
|
Orla Tynan | A Slattery | 4 | 64 kg |

8/1
|
| 9th | 4 | 6 |
Shahada Ace (F)
Respectable ninth of 18 in handicap (17/2) at Cork (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago. Being eased another 2 lb can only help.
|
Andrew Slattery | A Slattery | 4 | 63.5 kg |

|
| 15th | 5 | 16 |
Skib Gold (G)
Course winner. Below form when eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (9.6f, soft) on reappearance 26 days ago but should be sharper for the outing.

Paddy Harnett | M J Byrne | 5 | 63.5 kg |

Majestic King (G)
FAV
Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable 3 lengths second of 14 to Kitty Bear 7f course handicap debut (7f, soft, 11/1) 13 days ago, best work finish. This slightly longer trip could suit and this unexposed sort is high on the list.

J M Sheridan | D Hogan | 5 | 63 kg |

| 3rd | 7 | 5 |
Staywitherjohnny (F)
Modest maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, soft) on reappearance 20 days ago. May come on for the run.

Dylan Browne McMonagle | Ciaran Murphy | 4 | 63 kg |

25/1

| 11th | 8 | 13 |
Ballymagreehan (G)
In good form on Dundalk's all-weather in 2025 but his 2 efforts there in January were no better than respectable. Freshened up ahead of this return to turf.
|
Luke McAteer | D Marnane | 4 | 62.6 kg |

| 13th | 9 | 10 |
Thegooseiscooked (M)
Course winner last summer but absent since a heavy fall over hurdles at Fairyhouse in October.

| 10th | 10 | 1 |
Famous Enough (G)
[T]
Good second of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 12 days ago, running on. This turf winner has to enter calculations back on the grass.

Ben Coen | P T Foley | 6 | 61.7 kg |

Can I Kiss You (F)
Modest maiden who was down the field in handicaps on his final 2 outings last year. Been off for 6 months.

Seamie Heffernan | J M Barrett | 4 | 60.3 kg |

| 14th | 12 | 11 |
Carvalhal (G)
One win from 25 starts and that was back in 2024. Off 6 months. Others are more obvious.

Nicola Burns | R P Burns | 5 | 59.4 kg |

| 8th | 13 | 9 |
Hell Left Loose (G)
[B]
C&D winner. Third over C&D last month but not in the same form when sixth of 14 to Kitty Bear over 7f here 13 days ago.
|
Mel Sheridan | D Hogan | 10 | 58.5 kg |

| 12th | 14 | 3 |
Bang Po (G)
[B]
It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2023 and he beat only one home at Dundalk 12 days ago.

Wesley Joyce | L McAteer | 6 | 55.3 kg |

|
| 6th | 15 | 12 |
Hale Bopp (G)
Thirty runs since last win in 2023. Respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago, never nearer.
|
Chris Hayes | R Donohoe | 8 | 55.3 kg |

18/1
|
| 5th | 16 | 4 |
Half Nutz (G)
Unreliable type. Forty two runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, 10 lengths eighth of 14 to Kitty Bear in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
