Billboa (G)
[T1]
Rattled off a hat-trick on the all-weather in 2023/24 but lightly raced and very little to shout about since. Tongue strap on for first time eased markedly in class.

Reinforce (G)
Last of 8 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good, 20/1). Off 11 months and he has a lot to prove, for all the assessor has given him a major chance.

Happy Henry (G)
[V]
Cheekpieces on for first time and produced a career best when winning 21-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good, 12/1) 17 days ago, cosily. Visor back on and 8 lb rise to contend with but he clearly needs considering.

Tawaazon (G)
[TB]
Winner over 6f here last spring. Last of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 13 days ago. Significantly back down in trip in quest to cash in on lowly mark.

80-4029 | Chris Hayes | J A Kinsella | 8 | 63.5 kg |

| 17th | 5 | 17 |
Polar Bear (G)
[P]
Twenty-one runs since last win in 2023. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f) 19 days ago. Yard in good form and cheekpieces back on but needs to cast that heavy defeat aside.
|
00-4350 | Darragh O'Sullivan | Mrs J Harrington | 6 | 62.1 kg |

14/1
|
| 7th | 6 | 11 |
Mehmar (G)
[PT]
Plummeting in the weights without really looking ready to cash in, running poorly in a first-time visor 4 weeks ago. Usual cheekpieces back on.

Hooves Your Daddy (F)
FAV
Positive return to action when placed twice during the spring and shaped as though still in form when sixth of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f) 12 days ago, denied a clear run. Yard among the winners so she's of serious interest.
|
700-236 | Ronan Whelan | J P Fahey | 3 | 61.2 kg |

Jazzit (G)
[P]
Maiden who was visored for the first time when below form 4¾ lengths eighth of 21 to Happy Henry in handicap at Navan (5f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Sayonara (G)
Sent off 33/1 and was last of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) on turf debut 12 days ago. Plenty to prove following that back at the minimum trip.
|
38-5300 | Ava Maher | A Slattery | 3 | 60.8 kg |

| 13th | 10 | 18 |
Ballysax Lil' Mick (G)
[P]
Just 1-27 (scored at Tipperary in August) but return to action behind Happy Henry at Navan 17 days ago wasn't devoid of promise.
|
1526-06 | Killian Leonard | Miss K Brown | 8 | 60.3 kg |

Hero Of The Hour (G)
[V]
First run since leaving T. G. McCourt and shaped quite well when fourth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, no extra. Return to 5f shouldn't inconvenience.
|
763540 | Luke McAteer | W Delahunty | 9 | 60.3 kg |

| 11th | 12 | 19 |
Whatswrongnow (G)
Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs but he's fairly consistent at a lowly level, wasting no time getting back to form when third of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago.

Snowballs (G)

Tendency to blow the start an increasing concern, doing just that again when eighth of 9 in handicap at Cork (5f, soft) 36 days ago.

Spiced Gold (G)
Showed a little bit more when sixth at Down Royal last month but back into his shell when eleventh of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago.

Steel Magnolia (F)
Awarded a handicap during the autumn and confirmed that she's returned in good heart when third of 9 in handicap at Cork (5f, soft) 36 days ago. Shortlist material having been eased 3 lb.

Realtin Fantasy (M)
[P]
Firmly into the veteran stage of her career and ended 2025 out of sorts. Likely to need this reappearance.

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, ninth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on for first time.

Livingston Range (G)
Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (8/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago and a repeat of that should see him thereabouts back at 5f. Usual tongue tie off.

You Smiled (F)
[T]
Showed more than previously with a tongue strap on for first time when seventh of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, good) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Another Nice'day (G)
[P]
Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Needs to step up markedly on that.

| 9th | 24 | 9 |
Mini Cotai (F)
[H]
Isn't the easiest of rides and remains a maiden but ran right up to her best when second of 7 in handicap at Down Royal (5f) 5 days ago, running on. Merits consideration.
