Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15th | 1 | 6 |
Battle Borne (G)
[B1]
Won maiden at Dundalk in February but down the field in 3 handicaps since, including over C&D 5 weeks ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now.
|
Jamie Orr | P J McKenna | 4 | 63.5 kg |

66/1
|
| 14th | 2 | 14 |
Bay Of Dreams (F)
Twice a winner for James Ferguson last year and run best excused in handicap at Bellewstown on stable debut 34 days ago, badly hampered. This may reveal more.
|
Patrick McGettigan | Ciaran Murphy | 4 | 63.5 kg |

28/1
|
| 7th | 3 | 5 |
Perfect Judgement (G)
Out of sorts, fourth of 6 in a claimer over 11f at Dundalk in March (his first try beyond 1m). On a good mark if he can bounce back for new trainer and won on his only other start here.
|
Conor Cusack | P J F Murphy | 5 | 63.5 kg |

Lough Leane (G)
[T]
Turned in best effort for quite some time to get off the mark for current connections in Ballinrobe handicap last week. Should be competitive again back down in trip after 7 lb rise.
|
Julian Pietropaolo | Maurice Ahern | 6 | 63 kg |

Faoladh (G)
FAV
[T]
C&D winner last summer and has run respectably all 3 starts this term. Should pop up again before long.

Adam Browne-Souza | A Slattery | 4 | 62.6 kg |

| 13th | 6 | 1 |
God Knows (M)
[H1]
Second twice in handicaps to end last season but well held in 2 runs back this year. Tries new headgear dropping back to 1m.
|
Rory Mulligan | P Sweeney | 7 | 62.1 kg |

7/1
|
| 6th | 7 | 17 |
Bucaneer's Spirit (G)
[P]
Retried in headgear and took advantage of a much-reduced mark to land a gamble on return from 6 months off in 1m Cork handicap from Land of The Giants. Value for more than the winning margin and remains well treated after 6 lb rise.
|
Hugh Horgan | Ian Donoghue | 5 | 61.7 kg |

20/1
|
| 4th | 8 | 4 |
Java Wood (G)
[H]
Sprang a surprise when winning 14-runner 1m handicap (40/1) at Dundalk in November and shaped well on his recent return at the Curragh. Can build on that back up in trip.
|
Jared Huggan | K Smith | 6 | 61.2 kg |

|
| 11th | 9 | 7 |
Land Of The Giants (G)
[H]
Just failed behind Bucaneer's Spirit at Cork and built on that to finally open his account in 9f Ayr handicap last week (a first outing on turf with firm in the description a possible catalyst). Nudged up 2 lb and can go well again.
|
Sam Coen | A McGuinness | 4 | 61.2 kg |

| 8th | 10 | 9 |
Proleek Prince (G)
Without a win since 2024 but has dropped a long way in the weights and shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off here 4 weeks ago.
|
Aleesha McArdle | M Rice | 6 | 61.2 kg |
13
12/1
|
| 9th | 11 | 8 |
Rappell (G)
Capitalised on falling mark at Dundalk in September. Hasn't returned in much form, looking to be going through the motions at the Curragh last week.
|
J Cleary | P W Flynn | 5 | 61.2 kg |

| 2nd | 12 | 12 |
Ohmali (G)
Won at Gowran in September. Should have come on for his first run for 6 months there in April and may show more back at 1m here.
|
Paddy Harnett | N Lupini | 4 | 60.8 kg |

7/1
|
| 12th | 13 | 13 |
Dynamic Force (G)
Failed to win last year although placed twice in turf handicaps in May. Might need this back from 8 months off.

Sadhbh Tormey | T G McCourt | 7 | 59.9 kg |

| 10th | 14 | 2 |
Rockbury Lad (G)
[PT]
Won at Bellewstown last year and now very well handicapped if things fall his way/take his fancy, keeping on for third after another slow start at Dundalk 2 months ago.

Keithen Kennedy | M O'Callaghan | 7 | 59.9 kg |

| 5th | 15 | 15 |
Moyassr (G)
[PT]
Won 3 times over 1m at Dundalk in autumn/winter but has found things tougher back on turf the last twice. Dropped another 5 lb and has cheekpieces back on (gone well in them in the past).

Adam Grant | P W Flynn | 5 | 59.4 kg |

| 1st | 16 | 11 |
Monvoe (G)
Resumed the progress he had been making on the all-weather in the autumn when opening his account in 1m Limerick handicap on return 3 weeks ago. The sole 3-y-o in the field and can go well again despite a 10 lb rise.

Reese Holohan | R P Cody | 3 | 58.1 kg |
