|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | 1 | 11 |
Almeiyda (F)
Zarak filly who was clearly still learning when fourth of 8 at Gowran (9.5f) on return/qualifying run, and while the handicapper hasn't taken any chances with her opening mark, it's still early days.

| 13th | 2 | 13 |
Two And Two (F)
Backed up her Dundalk success when fifth of 10 on handicap debut at the Curragh (6f, heavy) in mid-March, though was still keen in a first-time hood, and will need to settle better over a significantly longer trip.

8-150 | Conor Cusack | Daniel McLoughlin | 3 | 64.4 kg |

| 10th | 3 | 2 |
Down The Glen (G)
Relished testing conditions when off the mark in good style at Galway (7f) in October and having stepped up on his reappearance when fourth of 9 at Sligo (10.5f) last time, he could be primed for another big run.
|
5821-64 | Donagh O'Connor | R O'Sullivan | 3 | 63 kg |

9/2
|
| 11th | 4 | 17 |
Jp's Express (G)
Hasn't kicked on from a fair debut fifth at Galway (7f), finishing well held at long odds both starts this year, latterly on handicap debut at Naas (6f).

56-60 | Jamie Powell | M Mulvany | 3 | 62.1 kg |

| 9th | 5 | 10 |
Themis (F)
Backward type again offered little when down the field on qualifying run at Dundalk (7f), and while she's bred to need further, a market check is in order now sent handicapping by excellent yard.
|
0-70 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | J P O'Brien | 3 | 61.7 kg |

25/1
|
| 2nd | 6 | 5 |
Cosmic Funk (G)
Shaped as though this drop back in trip would suit when seventh of 10 at Down Royal (10.5f) last time. Now switched to a handicap by in-form yard but his opening mark hardly looks a generous one.

Glamazon (F)
[P]
Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in a maiden at Ballinrobe (9.5f) and at least finds herself back in calmer waters, having faced a stiff task from out of the weights in a competitive Curragh handicap sub…

Love Orchid (F)
[P1]
Cheekpieces go on for the first time, having been well held both handicaps starts to date, and the assessor has at least offered some respite.

Nicky Larson (G)
Unlucky to bump into one when much-improved second of 14 on handicap debut at Limerick (subsequent winner Glamazon back in fourth) and a similar performance may be enough to take this, provided he gets the breaks from an inside draw.
|
9-572 | Julian Pietropaolo | P Nolan | 3 | 61.2 kg |

Bear Right (F)
Considerately handled when fifth on debut at Galway last summer, and while again below that form on what was effectively her reappearance at Cork, Shane Foley is back aboard with yard among the winners.

066-U73 | Shane Foley | Mrs J Harrington | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Chirac (C)
FAV
Unexposed sort who justified support with an improved effort when scoring at Gowran (soft) last time, having been suited by a well-run 7f. That bodes well for his crack at 1m and he's high on the shortlist.
|
0-60416 | Ronan Whelan | J Feane | 3 | 59.9 kg |
3.25
9/4
|
| 7th | 12 | 15 |
De Songbird (F)
Well held at long odds in a trio of maidens, though has at least hinted at ability, and ought to benefit from the switch to a handicap.

| 5th | 13 | 14 |
No More Hiding (F)
Again sent off at a big price when well held on handicap debut at Dundalk in February, but isn't badly bred, and at least warrants a second look in the betting with Billy Lee taking over on turf debut.
|
070-95 | Billy Lee | A Oliver | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Wicklow Gap (G)
[T]
Maiden who finished closer than previously when fourth of 14 in a first-time tongue strap on return from 6 months off at Roscommon, that despite not getting much room to work with in the straight.

07099-4 | Gary Carroll | G P Cromwell | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Cameclose (G)
[P1]
Travelled fluently but fared no better than on his return when down the field at Killarney (11f) last time. Certainly worth another go over this sort of trip in a big-field handicap, though, with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

Only One Scobie (G)
Only form to date came on soft ground in a Galway maiden, but he's offered little in either handicap start since.

Balance Of Trade (G)
Fared best of those held up when fourth of 16 in a Gowran handicap on Monday but he's 3 lb out of the weights in a better race here.
