20th	2	1	Yashin (G) T Has gone the wrong way since winning last year's Sagaro at Ascot, faring no better with blinkers/hood fitted on final start for Michael Bell. Picked up for only 15,000 gns by new connections and hard…	7606-00	Mr T Walsh J Bedi	7	76.2kg	67 66/1

7th	6	3	Granite Bay (G) FAV Likeable sort. Made the frame for the eleventh time in his last 12 starts in a competitive Curragh handicap (1¾m) in early-June. That pair that beat him failed to back that up, and he could again be …	2242-43	Mr D Doyle J P Fahey	5	74.4kg	4.50 7/2
13th	7	11	Westminster Moon (G) T Had some smart form in Germany prior to joining shrewd connections. Well beaten in this race last year (50/1). In much better heart when landing gamble at the Curragh (1¾m) in late-May before struggl…	0-07100	Mr F Maguire A J Martin	6	74.4kg	13 12/1
1st	8	20	Comfort Zone (G) P Useful in both codes at his best. Third in 2025 Ascot Stakes before disappointing in this race 12 months ago. Races off 3 lb lower than when down the field at Royal Ascot last month. Another change o…	763309/	Mr D O'Connor J P O'Brien	7	73.9kg	19 18/1
11th	9	18	Sirius (M) H Lightly raced since smooth winner of this event (50/1) back in 2024. Looked every bit as good when quickening clear of Smooth Tom to make it 2-2 under this jockey in Amateur Riders Derby at Curragh l…	014/01-0	Mr D H Dunsdon W P Mullins	7	73.9kg	19 18/1
4th	10	4	Eagle Fang (G) V Smart hurdler. Chased home a subsequent winner in Leopardstown maiden (15f) before going one better with a bit in hand at Killarney subsequently. Opening mark probably harsh on his bare Flat form, th…	3/21	Mr J C Barry W Durkan	6	73.5kg	7.50 13/2

9th	12	21	Light Up The Dark (M) Low-mileage 5-y-o. Fine length third behind Teed Up in C&D handicap at this meeting last year. Cosy winner on reappearance and looks to have been laid out for this (met trouble/not knocked about at F…	7134-14	Mr J L Gleeson J P O'Brien	5	73kg	9.50 17/2
16th	13	15	Tyson Fury (G) Shaped well when runner-up in maiden hurdle at Killarney on latest start. Best recent Flat form has come on the all-weather and he may just find this too competitive.	402-223	Miss G Benson D Hogan	9	73kg	51 50/1
18th	14	14	Smooth Tom (G) V Back to his best when chasing home Sirius at the Curragh on latest Flat start in October. Relatively untested over staying trips in this sphere, though was beaten a long way out over hurdles at Cork …	1/3802-0	Mr A P Ryan A Slattery	7	72.6kg	41 40/1
3rd	15	13	Teed Up (G) T Off same mark as when winning this race in 2023. Did remarkably well to notch sixth Galway victory in C&D handicap here last summer (nearly brought down/badly hampered). Tongue strap returns for firs…	480000-	Mr B T Stone E Mullins	9	72.6kg	15 14/1
14th	16	10	Clear Quartz (G) Useful performance to win at Roscommon (1½m) in September. Went backwards from a promising reappearance at Curragh last time and significantly longer trip a step into the unknown (by Slade Power).	0138-28	Mr L P Shanahan M Fahey	9	72.1kg	29 28/1

5th	20	19	Tounsivator (G) Useful hurdler who was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth in Galway Hurdle here last year. Has won 2 of 4 starts on the Flat since, latterly on reappearance at Fairyhouse (1¾m), but this requir…	19709/4-	Mr P W Mullins W P Mullins	7	71.7kg	9.50 17/2
