Pillar Of Hope (G)
Winner at the Curragh and Leopardstown last year. Inadequate test when eighth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at former course (1m, heavy) on return in March. Has won off this mark before and will be suited by the significant step back up in trip…

Amplitude (G)
Much improved when a wide-margin winner of a Gowran maiden on final start last year. Has got back on track on last 2 starts but has work to do to capitalise on this mark.

| 12th | 3 | 11 |
Avondale (G)
Won last 2 starts on the Flat back in 2024. Scored in a Bellewstown maiden from 3 starts over hurdles last year. Returns to the Flat on a 10 Ib higher mark than when last seen in this sphere and any positive market moves should be noted.

Carthusian (G)
[P]
A lightly-raced maiden who became disappointing after a bright start last year. Improvement required on handicap debut.

Eben Zaabeel (G)
[H1]
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m) for Charles Hills, runner-up on all-weather final 2 starts in 2024. MIssed last year and failed to make an impact in 2 starts for this yard (maiden hurdle first one) this year. Goes back up in t…

Superficial (C)
Fairly useful maiden. 10/1, very good second of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (11.4f, soft) in April. Raised a further 6 Ib but he's low mileage and yard's going through a good spell at present.

Granville Street (G)
FAV
Well held over hurdles during the winter but seemed rejuvenated by a return to the Flat when second of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 13 days ago. Player if in same form.

Patrick McGettigan | Ciaran Murphy | 8 | 60.3 kg |

Satono Chevalier (G)
[P]
Finally capitalised on a career-low mark to win 13-runner handicap (6/1) at Navan (1¼m, heavy) in March on final start for Aidan Melia. Has the tongue strap left off and takes a step back up in trip/grade.

Reese Holohan | M K Flannery | 8 | 60.3 kg |

| 2nd | 9 | 6 |
Justenzia (F)
[P]
Very good second of 13 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft) 30 days ago, nicely clear of the rest. Repeat of that will see her involved again.

J M Sheridan | D Hogan | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Steps In The Sand (M)
Recorded hat-trick last summer, including scoring over C&D. Eighth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Goodwood (1¾m, good) when last seen in September. Market best guide on return.

Ben Coen | Ciaran Murphy | 7 | 59.9 kg |

Liberate (F)
Won maiden at Goodwood (1¼m) when trained by James Horton in 2025. Down the field both starts this season. Hard to make a case for at present.

Good Onya Mate (G)
[T1]
Thrice-raced maiden who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap and significantly back up in trip for handicap debut. Should have more to offer for good stable.

Billy Lee | H De Bromhead | 4 | 59 kg |

Mr Rango (G)
Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Creditable efforts on last 2 starts. Has been given further help from handicapper.

| 14th | 14 | 4 |
Migdam (G)
Runner-up in this sphere at Thurles in October. Not disgraced when eighth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, soft, 50/1) in April, left with too much to do. Others more persuasive.
