|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11th | 1 | 8 |
Believe Again (G)
Seventeenth of 18 in bumper (200/1) at Listowel, beaten a long way out. Makes flat debut after 7 months off.

Seamie Heffernan | S G O'Donnell | 5 | 66.7 kg |

200/1
|
| 12th | 2 | 17 |
It's Good To Talk (G)
Two starts in bumpers, failing to progress from his debut when ninth of 10 at Punchestown 18 days ago. Hard to fancy.
|
Scott McCullagh | E Mullins | 5 | 66.7 kg |

66/1
|
| 6th | 3 | 4 |
Galileo Springs (M)
[T]
Runner-up twice from 4 starts in bumpers, and didn't need to improve to get off the mark when winning a weak hurdle. Makes Flat debut after 7 months off.
|
Leigh Roche | M Brassil | 6 | 64.4 kg |
51
50/1
|
| 8th | 4 | 16 |
African Affair (G)
Finished down the field in two maidens, the latest twelfth of 18 at Navan 23 days ago and is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind.
|
Robbie Colgan | S Lavery | 3 | 60.3 kg |

150/1

| 5th | 5 | 2 |
Avec Grand Plaisir (G)
€110,000 St Mark's Basilica gelding showed more than first time up when seventh of 11 in a maiden at Leopardstown, but this should reveal more and is likely one for handicaps.
|
Nathan Crosse | J P Fahey | 3 | 60.3 kg |
51
50/1
|
| 2nd | 6 | 13 |
Changing Lanes (C)
€125,000 yearling who made a promising start to career up against more experienced rivals, finishing third of 7 at Dundalk 25 days ago, looking sure to pick up a similar race. He can improve with that run under his belt.

Dylan Browne McMonagle | J P O'Brien | 3 | 60.3 kg |

9/2

| 10th | 7 | 1 |
Elzaam Express (G)
Showed nothing on debut in a minor event at this course 7 days ago.

Gary Carroll | G P Cromwell | 3 | 60.3 kg |
81
80/1
|
| 7th | 8 | 11 |
Gaelic Drills (C)
Showed ability on debut and looked capable of improving but went backwards 15 days ago at Cork. Likely one for handicaps with another run needed.

Declan McDonogh | J S Bolger | 3 | 60.3 kg |

12/1

| 9th | 9 | 6 |
Garryowen Green (G)
[T1]
Shown little on two starts, most recently at Limerick 23 days ago. Steps up significantly in trip and has a tongue strap on for first time.

Jack Kearney | A McNamara | 3 | 60.3 kg |

300/1

| 1st | 10 | 9 |
Huff'n'puff (G)
Has stepped forward on each of his three starts, the latest when fifth of 18 at Navan 23 days ago, giving the impression 1m2f is as far he wants to go for now. One of the more likelier types to be involved in the finish.
|
Billy Lee | H De Bromhead | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 4th | 11 | 7 |
Karrygrant (G)
FAV
Shaped well on three starts to date over a range of trips, finishing second of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (1m) 37 days ago, looking like the race was wrapped up only to be caught on the line by another improver. Should be thereabouts.

Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 13th | 12 | 14 |
Solar Jet (G)
Al Kazeem gelding. Half-brother to 10.4f winner Rainbow Jet. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Came From The Dark. Yard not known for debutant winners.

Ronan Whelan | John O'Donoghue | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Zelani (G)
New Bay gelding. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Zannda. 8/1 and hooded, fifth of 15 in maiden at Navan (1m, heavy) on debut 49 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip and likely to improve.

Chris Hayes | D K Weld | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 3rd | 14 | 10 |
Noble Honour (F)
Had finished third in a barrier trial and shaped with promise on debut, second of 9 at Gowran (subsequent winners in behind). Has been off for 8 months but is bred to appreciate this step up in trip and is open to improvement.

Shane Foley | Mrs J Harrington | 3 | 58.1 kg |

Grennanstown Lady (M)

Matada (G)
Made little impression in two starts to date, and will continue to make little appeal until handicaps become an option. RESERVE.
