| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Form | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 9 |
Dawn Rising (G)
Has shaped as if building up to something recently and his stable is in excellent form, but he's likely to be of more interest when back at 2m+ so probably best passed over on this occasion.

This Songisforyou (G)
Better than the result when seventh of 15 in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel 23 days ago and now returns to scene of last Flat win in 2024 so isn't without hope.

In My Teens (F)
[H]
Had a hurdles campaign before returning to the Flat 36 days ago, only finishing ninth of 20 in a handicap at this track, but he looks well worth stepping up to this trip and has scope for more progress than most of these.

Cloud Seeker (G)
Had 3 runs in Bahrain during the winter, finishing runner-up in January, then returned with a solid 5th of 20 in a handicap here 36 days ago after a 3-month break. Back up to a trip he's already proven at but may find a couple too good.

| 3rd | 5 | 11 |
The Real Screamer (G)
Landed a handicap at Dundalk on all-weather in January before scoring at Leopardstown over this trip 44 days ago. 8 lb higher mark in a much deeper race means the hat-trick will probably prove beyond him.

4144-11 | James Ryan | P W Flynn | 5 | 59.9 kg |

Marazion (F)
Off the mark in May before good second of 24 on handicap debut over 1¾m at this track. Only sixth of 9 in a Group 3 at Cork 14 days ago but this drop back in grade looks more her thing and could figure.

Factual Fact (G)
Done well since switching to handicaps, winning at Killarney over 2m1f in May before good second of 12 here at 1¾m 25 days ago. Likely still well enough treated after 4 lb rise assuming drop back in trip doesn't inconvenience.

322-212 | Ronan Whelan | H De Bromhead | 7 | 59 kg |

What's Your Game (G)
Won a handicap over this trip at Cork last April but disappointing this year and has plenty to prove returning from 90 days off.

Retracement (G)
Won at this course over 1¼m on soft in October and promise to be taken when sixth of 20 in a handicap here in May after 7 months off. Likely to strip fitter for that outing and could figure if handling this step back up in trip.

Star Harbour (G)
[V]
Without a win in 22 starts but was second of 12 in a handicap at Carlisle 29 days ago. On a workable mark but probably vulnerable to younger legs.

Obscenity (G)
FAV
[V]
Won twice from 3 starts since the visor was applied, most recently winning a 16-runner handicap at Gowran Park 27 days ago with a turn of foot. Up 9 lb and faces a significant step up in class but he's in such good hands that he's hard to …

Truth Be Told (G)
Won back-to-back handicaps, most recently at Leopardstown in May on first run for current connections, coming from well back and picking through to win cosily. Up 7 lb but already proven over this longer trip and well worth a crack in this…

Navy Waters (M)
[V]
Produced a career best when fifth of 15 in a handicap at Cork in May and showed promise on recent hurdling debut. Visor back on for return to Flat and looks one to take seriously.

Railwayview Lady (F)
[P]
Less exposed than most of these but hasn't pulled up any trees this year, though this longer trip is likely to be more her thing and better can't be ruled out.
