O'Moore Park (G)
[T]
Yet to taste success over fences but plenty of at least respectable handicap efforts to his name, including when sixth in the Plate at Cheltenham and seventh in the Topham at Aintree on his last 2 starts. Return to 3m will suit and claims …

The Short Go (G)
[HT]
Useful chaser who has run well in handicaps despite consistently coming up short. Had a breathing operation prior to finishing mid-division in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival last time.

Happy Jacky (G)
FAV
Lightly-raced chaser who was third to Cadatharla in this race last year off a 2 lb higher mark prior to winning minor hurdles at Cork and Down Royal. Fast approaching his teenage years but has gone well fresh in the past. Big player.

Shanbally Kid (G)
[P]
Useful handicap chaser at best but has failed to complete on last 2 starts and remains an unreliable betting proposition.

Midnight Our Fred (G)
[T]
Third in this race in 2024/25, when also runner-up in Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown. Lightly raced and little impact since, however, including back over hurdles.

Donagh Meyler | J P Flavin | 9 | 70.3 kg |

Pride Of Place (G)
[B]
Doubled his tally over fences when landing a Listowel handicap last season but has been badly out of sorts since.

Kamikaz Du Plessis (G)
[T]
Dual winner over hurdles but has looked hard ride in the main over fences, hanging badly left when 7½ lengths fourth of 6 to Coral River at Clonmel last time. Makes handicap debut.

Caesar Rock (G)
[P]
Unreliable type overall but arrives in good order after finishing second on last 2 starts, chasing home Supreme Jet in 15-runner veteran handicap at Wexford (19f, soft, 6/1) last time. This is much tougher, however.

Josh Williamson | M F Morris | 10 | 65.8 kg |

Hermino AA (G)
[P]
Useful at best for Gary & Josh Moore but has shown little since joining his current yard, again making mistakes when mid-division in handicap at Fairyhouse last time.

Calum Hogan | E McNamara | 9 | 65.8 kg |

West Cork Wildway (G)
Ended a long losing run in a handicap hurdle at Cork in 2025/26, when also twice placed in veterans events over fences. Below form back over hurdles last month.

Supreme Gift (G)

Below par since winning at Market Rasen in November 2024, including all 3 starts for this yard. Blinkers back on.

The Gradual Slope (G)
[P]
Capitalised on much-reduced mark when bouncing back to form in a 17-runner handicap chase (16/1) at Fairyhouse (21f, soft) in April. Benefited from being held up in strongly-run race there but 5 lb rise is manageable on his peak form. Race…

Smallcraftwarning (G)
[T]
Enjoyed a fruitful 2025/26 campaign, winning handicap hurdle at Clonmel and handicap chase at this course to go alongside several good in-frame efforts. Ran poorly when last seen and, though he's gone well fresh in the past, faces an uphil…
