Fiveonefive (G)
Tends to save his best for Cartmel (three-time winner of valuable June handicap there). Contested some deep handicaps to end last season and largely struggled but this is a shade easier.

Danny Gilligan | C Collins | 8 | 75.3 kg |

Redwood Queen (M)
C&D winner but continued out of sorts with cheekpieces on for first time when pulled up in listed mares event at this course (17f, good to soft) on Saturday.

Watch The Weather (G)
[T]
Won twice over fences in 2024 and should be sharper for return to action when sixth of 15 in handicap chase at Wexford (19f, soft) 31 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and needs to build on that.

Jack Kennedy | R P Cody | 10 | 73.9 kg |

William Tell (G)
[T]
Maiden/novice winner in 2025 who clearly wasn't on his game when well held under a penalty at Thurles. Off 5 months ahead of this handicap debut but he does bring an unexposed profile to the table.

Cian Quirke | D H Kelly | 7 | 73 kg |

My Gaffer (G)
Won this race (from 6 lb lower) a year ago and best effort for a while when adding to his tally in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (23f, good to soft) 27 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Enters calculations, even from revised mark.

Liam McKenna | J P Ryan | 8 | 71.2 kg |

Royal Soldier (G)
Left previous hurdling efforts well behind when winning 11-runner handicap at Gowran and had just hit the front when taking a heavy fall at the last at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) a month ago. Engaged 2.05 Cork Sunday.

Keith Donoghue | Mrs G Callaghan | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Themanintheanorak (G)
Bumper winner who made second handicap start a winning one at Fairyhouse over this trip in February. Latest efforts in competitive handicaps at Cork (latterly over 3m) confirm that he remains in good order.

Alan O'Sullivan | E M O'Sullivan | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Duty Bound (G)
[T]
Successful twice under this jockey last spring/summer, latterly over C&D. 6 lb higher here and last seen recording a heavy defeat on the level in March.

Donagh Meyler | J P Flavin | 7 | 70.3 kg |

Elusive Ogie (G)
Winner of a maiden hurdle at Limerick a year and proving pretty consistent in handicaps since, further back than ideal when mid-field back from 5 months off at Cork in April.

Daniel King | E McCarthy | 5 | 70.3 kg |

King In Love (G)
[P1]
Cork winner in November and excellent third in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown a month later. Heavy defeat when sixteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) 64 days ago and cheekpieces now fitted in quest to bounce back.

Sean O'Keeffe | S Aherne | 6 | 69.4 kg |

Falco Blitz (G)
Back-to-back winner over fences in early 2024 but off since October of that year. Long absence to overcome but assessor has given him a major chance back over hurdles.

Lord Ffrench (G)
Winner of a steadily-run maiden in hurdle at Sligo (21f) in August. Disappointed on handicap debut the following month and while he showed more back in novice company soon after, he'll need to return an improved performer to win off curren…

Therellbguddaysyet (G)
Fairly useful hurdler for Michael John O'Connor. Fared as well as could be expected from very tough terms when fourth of 7 in a minor race at Cork (2m) last month and this a more suitable assignment.

Burru (G)
Ended time for this yard in excellent order in 2024, winning big-field handicap at Cork. Rather in-and-out for Liam Kenny last year but back with previous yard and his record fresh is a positive one. Usual hood left off but looks interesti…

Maxios Prime (M)

Has built up a solid record in handicaps, another sound effort when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Navan (2m, soft, 3/1) 51 days ago. Up in trip, which promises to suit so she needs considering.
