| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th | 1 | 5 |
Aurevoir Tristesse (F)
[P1]
Bred in the purple but went backwards from her debut when well beaten at Dundalk in late-February and it's hardly a positive that cheekpieces go on at such an early stage.

Chris Hayes | D K Weld | 3 | 62.6 kg |

|
| 4th | 2 | 11 |
Moon Aura (F)
Space Blues filly showed ability just 10 days on from her debut when sixth of 13 in a maiden (50/1) at Limerick (7f) but does have stamina to prove over a significantly longer trip.
|
Shane Foley | Mrs J Harrington | 3 | 62.6 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 1st | 3 | 10 |
Personified (F)
Well-bred filly took a significant step forward when third on handicap bow at Dundalk and having shaped as though still in form when fourth of 13 at Bellewstown (1m) last time, she's a likely player upped in trip.
|
Ronan Whelan | J P O'Brien | 3 | 62.6 kg |

5/2
|
| 10th | 4 | 4 |
Royal Sapphire (G)
Son of Australia only showed temperament when well beaten at long odds in 7f/1m Dundalk maidens, though has been gelded, and warrants a market check with Declan McDonogh taking over on turf debut.

Declan McDonogh | J P O'Brien | 3 | 62.6 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | 7 |
Teologia (F)
Teofilo filly was backed at long odds but only ran to a similar level as on debut when mid-field in a Navan maiden on return. Excellent stable may target her at handicaps, now.
|
J M Sheridan | J P O'Brien | 3 | 62.6 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 3rd | 6 | 8 |
Borora Aura (F)
[H]
Did little better than on debut when well beaten at Gowran last time, for all she had the worst of the draw.
|
Wesley Joyce | M Mulvany | 3 | 56.7 kg |
8.50

| — | 7 | 2 |
Schoolyard Days (F)
Hinted at ability in sprint maidens, though this marked step up in trip raises question marks given her pedigree.
|
J Cleary | M C Grassick | 3 | 56.7 kg |

20/1
|
| 6th | 8 | 1 |
Darwin's Angel (F)
[P]
Hit the frame in handicap/maiden company last season but this exposed filly hasn't offered anything in a pair of starts this year.

Jimmy Dalton | S M Duffy | 3 | 54.4 kg |

| 9th | 9 | 6 |
Divelment (G)
FAV
[V1T]
Finished third in a Dundalk maiden before proving no match for a fairly useful Joseph O'Brien pair in a conditions race there in late-February. Returns in a change of headgear following a gelding operation and sets a fair standard.
|
Gavin Ryan | J Davison | 3 | 54.4 kg |
3.25
9/4
|
| 8th | 10 | 9 |
Incredible Army (C)
Has run poorly both starts since winning a weak Dundalk conditions race and hopes pinned on a significant step up in trip.
|
Julian Pietropaolo | Jack Foley | 3 | 54.4 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 5th | 11 | 3 |
Lilo Pelekai (F)
Sottsass filly has offered little in maidens/handicaps to date and now steps up markedly in distance.
|
Orla Tynan | Jack Foley | 3 | 54.4 kg |

50/1
