| 13th | 1 | 11 |
Poweracclaim (G)
[H]
Caught the eye dropped to this trip when fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Navan (5f, good) 2 weeks ago, finishing with running left having been given plenty to do. Yard in red-hot form and he's just the type they'll get more out of this s…

Mint Man (G)
FAV
[T]
Won a 6f handicap at Naas in 2025. Shaped as if still needing the run 5 weeks on from his return when eighth of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, soft) 28 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor.

Arctic Steps (F)
[P]
Second at Dundalk in February and March and shaped as if still in form when fifth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 10/1) 14 days ago. Each-way claims.

Patrick McGettigan | R O'Sullivan | 4 | 62.6 kg |

| 11th | 4 | 6 |
Eichan San (G)
Turned in his best effort so far in 2026 when fourth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 20 days ago and probably would've been closer still granted stronger handling. Not discounted from unchanged mark.

Terry Casey | Daniel Murphy | 4 | 61.7 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | 4 |
Nouvel Espoir (G)
Won over 5f at Cork last season but down the field both start so far this year, albeit finishing with running left after lacking a clear passage when fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Back to a workable ma…

| 10th | 6 | 10 |
Verified (G)
Remains a maiden after 20 runs but might've needed the outing start for a new yard (formerly trained by Charles Weld) when twelfth of 16 in handicap (13/2) at Navan (5f, good) 14 days ago. Others still make greater appeal.

Harry Longabaugh (G)
Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, made bit more impact when fifth of 6 in maiden at Dundalk (6f). Off 171 days. Improvement needed on handicap debut.

J M Sheridan | P C O'Donnell | 4 | 59 kg |

| 3rd | 8 | 8 |
Stone Bear (F)
Improved form when off mark at Dundalk (5f) in January and resumed progress after a 2-month break when also scoring over 6f there last month. Shortlisted again from 7 lb higher mark.

Siobhan Rutledge | R O'Sullivan | 3 | 58.1 kg |

Phil's Dream (G)
[VT]
Notched his first win for a while in an 8-runner minor event (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 54 days ago, despite again taking quite a strong hold. Now 8 lb higher than on his most recent handicap start.

Jessica Maye | J C McConnell | 6 | 56.2 kg |

Plushy (F)
[H]
Placed at Dundalk on her first 2 starts this year but couldn't extend that run of good form when sixth of 8 in handicap there (5f) 16 days ago. Hood back on.

Robert Whearty | G P Cromwell | 3 | 56.2 kg |

16/1

| 12th | 11 | 2 |
Polanco (G)
No impact in 3 maidens around 7f for J. P. Flavin last season. Makes handicap debut after 7 months off over markedly shorter trip.

Wesley Joyce | P F O'Donnell | 3 | 56.2 kg |

Snowballs (G)
[B1]
Yet to better poor form and he raced freely when eighth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 16/1) 29 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.

Megan Telford-Kelly | W McCreery | 4 | 54.9 kg |

| 16th | 13 | 14 |
Hastily (M)
Won at Cork in July but signed off 2025 with a pair of below-par efforts. Back on a competitive mark but others preferred back from 6-month break.

J Cleary | Tom McGuinness | 7 | 54 kg |

| 14th | 14 | 12 |
She's A Gift (F)
Long-standing maiden went off too hard when seventh of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f, 200/1) 16 days ago. Hard to fancy again.

Chris Hayes | J C McConnell | 4 | 54 kg |

Art Of Unity (G)
Made a winning start for Aidan Melia at Bellewstown in October but subsequently disqualified after testing positive for banned substance. Ran well when third on return/stable debut but below form at the Curragh since, so bounce back called…

Apache Star (G)

On a long losing run and only ninth of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Navan (5f, good) 14 days ago.

Whatswrongnow (G)
Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs but was placed at Navan and Dundalk late last season. Still rates as an unlikely winner returning after 7 months off from 7 lb out of the weights.
