High Honour (G)
Hasn't fired in 5 starts in this sphere for current yard and looks opposable again.

Radar Ahead (M)
Back to form on just his second handicap outing on Flat when third of 20 at Navan (13f, good) 16 days ago. Player if in same form.

| 5th | 3 | 9 |
Daboya (M)
Won 16-runner maiden hurdle (4/1) at Thurles (2m, good to soft) when in November. Better than result after 5 months off when thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 16 days ago, lacking room in the final 1f. Place claims.

Bobby Kirova (G)
Fair form on first 2 of 3 starts in maidens last season for P. J. F. Murphy but last of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Gowran (9.5f, soft) on debut for this yard 33 days ago. Back up in trip.

Master Sydney (M)
Bumper winner last summer who produced best effort yet on the level fitted with a tongue strap for the first time when good fourth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (13f, good to soft) on final outing last year. Looked rusty dropped in trip a…

Kakori (F)
[T]
Improved upped in trip when sixth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 16 days ago, never nearer after meeting trouble before final 1f. Merits consideration.

Robot Rock (G)
[T1]
Raced 3 times in France last year for Xavier Blanchet, finishing second of 11 in claimer at Deauville (12.4f). Market may prove best guide to expectations after 9 months off.

| 1st | 8 | 17 |
Doctor Grace (M)
[P]
Seventeen runs since his last win in 2025 but he produced one of his better efforts since when second of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 18 days ago. Probably needs more again from higher turf mark.

Gabriella Hill | A McGuinness | 6 | 61.2 kg |

God Of Thunder (G)

Parish Express (M)
Down the field in 3 maidens, though seemingly ran to fair level when tenth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (15f, good to firm, 250/1) on latest. Opening mark looks fair if able to back that up after 10 months off,

| 11th | 11 | 11 |
El Regalo (G)
No better than modest form over hurdles in the winter for Shane Kieran Ryder and might've needed the run back on the Flat after 6 months when tenth of 23 in handicap (33/1) at Navan (1¼m, good) 16 days ago. Others preferred.

| 8th | 12 | 12 |
Forlio (G)
[T]
Easy to back but back on track after 6 months off when creditable fifth of 23 in handicap (12/1) at Navan (1¼m, good) 16 days ago. Not ruled out.

Makaiah (M)
Won at Navan around this time last year but ended 2025 out of sorts and is probably best watched after 6 months off.

Stepdance (M)
FAV
Completed hat-trick at Tramore last summer before showing fair form across 3 starts in novice hurdles. Potentially still well treated back on the Flat after 6 months off.

Churchwarden (G)
FAV
Bit disappointing last season and looked less than straightforward when last seen at Ayr but worth betting check on return from 7-month break having since changed hands for 4,200 gns.

Miners Cabin (G)
Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fifteenth of 16 in maiden (250/1) at Cork (10.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to improve. RESERVE.

If Dora Could (F)
[T]
18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 18 days ago. Still low mileage in handicaps but more needed again here. RESERVE.
