Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
5th	1	6	Valiant Force (C) FAV Consistent performer on AW at Dundalk with four course wins. Won a 5-runner conditions race over 5f (15/8) 43 days ago, travelling fluently and scoring readily without needing to be at his best. Strong candidate on stable debut returning t…	150099	David Egan	Robson Aguiar	4	66.2 kg	2.63 13/8
—	2	7	Big Gossey (G) Has a course and distance win on record and finished fifth of 10 in a Listed race at Naas (6/1) 46 days ago, running mid-division and one-paced in the closing stages. Tends to perform better at Curragh than elsewhere.	2-01921	Billy Lee	C O'Brien	8	63.5 kg	13 12/1
4th	3	3	Little Queenie (M) Four-time course winner who performs better on AW than turf. Returned to form when narrow runner-up of 11 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 26 days ago, leading 2f out and only headed on the line. Holds solid claims back at this venue.	241-393	Colin Keane	P W Flynn	6	59.4 kg	8.50 15/2
1st	4	2	Sir Les Patterson (G) Ran a promising third in a big field handicap at Curragh (16/1) after joining new stable. Finished fourth of 11 in handicap over course and distance (10/3) 26 days ago, making good late progress but left poorly placed. Fine record on AW ma…	41-1040	Jack Kearney	Stephen Thorne	4	59 kg	3.50 5/2
9th	5	8	Nezeeh (G) [B] Won twice at 5f but inconsistent, finishing sixth of 7 in handicap at Dundalk (66/1) 19 days ago when 8f trip was beyond ideal. Drop back in trip with blinkers could help.	69-0908	Shane Foley	D Hogan	4	57.6 kg	51 50/1
7th	6	10	Bishopton (G) Won twice recently including at this course on AW; sixth of 13 in higher grade handicap at Naas (6/1) 46 days ago. Returns to favoured AW surface where improvement is possible.	72-1056	Wayne Lordan	N Lupini	3	55.8 kg	8 7/1
3rd	7	4	Little Empire (G) Shown form at Dundalk with 3rd and 6th place finishes before winning a conditions race at this course over 7f (5/1) 5 days ago. Could be competitive despite the quick turnaround and penalty.	2-23354	Patrick McGettigan	A McCann	5	54.9 kg	10 9/1
2nd	8	5	Dark Ace (G) Two-time C&D winner who won an 11-runner handicap at Navan (18/1) over 5f 35 days ago, quickening to score cosily. Return to this 6f trip where previous wins were achieved could suit.	43-1133	Rory Cleary	A McGuinness	3	54.4 kg	15 14/1
6th	9	1	Dontspoilasale (G) [B] Specialist at this venue with 2 C&D wins, finished fifth of 11 in conditions race over 7f (8/1) 5 days ago not showing same form as when winning here 12 days ago. Better on AW surfaces.	765746	Chris Hayes	D Hogan	5	54 kg	15 14/1
8th	10	9	Sporting Hero (G) [B] Proven AW performer with five Dundalk wins including three over 6f. Shaped as if back in top form when second of 10 in handicap at this course and distance (9/1) 12 days ago, making headway and running on but needed stronger handling. Clea…	106100	Mel Sheridan	D Hogan	5	54 kg	23 22/1
