15th	1	11	Thurso (G) Successful at Bath on final start for Richard Hughes prior to running to a similar level when fourth in a big-field handicap at Navan (5f) on stable debut latest. Remains on a good mark and not witho…	881400	Sam Coen Gerard O'Leary	4	64.4kg	8.50 15/2
7th	2	12	Phoenix Pairc (F) T Won a maiden at Dundalk in 2025. Poor efforts in handicaps since, though, including at Leopardstown on return from 6 months off. Raced freely on that occasion and now reverts to sprinting. Something …	070716	Billy Lee W McCreery	4	62.6kg	9.50 17/2
3rd	3	15	Poweracclaim (G) FAV Arrives in better heart than recent form figures suggest, shaping with encouragement when 5¼ lengths fourth of 20 to Sommelier at Curragh. Further drop of a pound certainly no issue and bold bid anti…	5-40436	Ben Coen J P Murtagh	4	62.6kg	5 4/1
6th	4	14	In The Gloaming (G) T Best effort in maidens when 4 lengths fifth of 13 to Xerling in 5f event at Cork last time. Slight step back up in trip will suit and he's open to improvement now tackling a handicap with a first-tim…	556065	Gary Carroll A Oliver	3	61.7kg	17 16/1
13th	5	8	Aurora Nova (M) A 3-time winner in the first half of 2025 and ran well when third at Bellewstown in April. Well treated on current mark but very little encouragement to be gleaned from last month's effort over C&D t…	590008	Wesley Joyce A McNamara	7	60.8kg	21 20/1
8th	6	16	Are You In Or Out (M) Enhanced her good record fresh when making a winning stable debut at Fairyhouse on return in May. Hasn't gone on from that performance, though, and needs to bounce back.	080040	Nicola Burns Conor Maxwell	5	60.3kg	12 11/1
1st	7	6	Gotta Catch'em All (G) B Long-standing maiden who went close on 4 separate occasions over 1¼m-1½m last year but has yet to really fire this time around. The handicapper has slowly relented, though, and he now finds himself o…	129356	Siobhan Rutledge H Rogers	6	59.9kg	10 9/1
5th	8	4	Irish Rumour (M) T On long losing run but ran well when second of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good) in June, the well-treated winner already gone by the time she hit full stride. Effort best excused at Leopard…	503155	Dylan Browne McMonagle Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch	6	59.9kg	5.50 9/2
2nd	9	13	Coincidental Glory (G) Dundalk nursery winner in December who has been in-and-out since, running creditably without suggesting he was ready to capitalise on a slipping mark when 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Zenford at Limerick…	403023	Declan McDonogh A McGuinness	3	58.5kg	7.50 13/2
12th	10	5	Reinforce (G) One-time fairly useful sprinter who hasn't shown any form of note since the summer of 2024. Handicapper has given him a chance but massive leap of faith required.	6908-00	Ronan Whelan Miss K Brown	6	58.1kg	41 40/1
11th	11	3	Elly Bay (F) Fair juvenile maiden for Johnny Murtagh. Got right back on track after a very low-key start to the season when second of 13 to Fortuity in 7f handicap at Fairyhouse in May, but failed to build on tha…	652900	James Ryan J Davison	3	57.6kg	11 10/1
14th	12	2	Verified (G) Long-standing maiden handicapper who bounced back to form when 1¾ lengths second of 8 to Nouvel Espoir at Down Royal, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Remains well treated on pick of his…	000201	Leigh Roche G Keane	5	57.2kg	13 12/1
9th	13	7	Prime Sign (M) Smooth winner on handicap debut at the Curragh last summer but hasn't built on that since and has been well held on both outings this year.	605-009	Robert Whearty A Oliver	5	56.7kg	17 16/1
10th	14	1	The Cosy Corner (F) Well beaten all 3 starts in maidens. Makes handicap debut from 2 lb out of the weights for new stable.	009-004	Chris Hayes P Magee	3	54kg	34 33/1
4th	15	10	Dubai Opulence (G) Well held in trio of maidens and a handicap. Races from 5 lb out of the weights.	004642	Killian Leonard N Lupini	3	54kg	41 40/1
—	16	9	Step Back In Time (M) P Ground-versatile sort who has won 4 times at this course but is struggling for form this year. Races from 5 lb out of the handicap.	903008	Rory Cleary C Timmons	8	54kg	51 50/1 Sky B… 34 Betfa… 34 Paddy… 34
