|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | 13 |
Bucaneer's Spirit (G)
[P]
Capitalised on drop in grade when landing a Ballinrobe claimer (9.6f) in July. However, form tailed off during second half of 2025 and others more convincing back from 6 months off. Cheekpieces back on.

| 5th | 2 | 4 |
Jasmine Affanalis (F)
[H]
Won over 9f at Tipperary last August but hasn't looked the same force back on polytrack in recent weeks. Switch back to turf rates a plus and a better showing can be expected from this filly for stable in form.

Shahada Ace (F)
Posted career best when wide-margin winner of 9-runner handicap at Tipperary (7f) in August. Disappointed on final start but possibly in need of reappearance run at Gowran (9.5f) 16 days ago. Could step forward back down in trip.

Land Of The Giants (G)
[H]
Fair maiden who fared better than of late from further reduced mark when finishing 3¼ lengths sixth behind re-opposing Launch Time at Leopardstown (1m) 12 days ago. Not ruled out.

621037 | Ronan Whelan | A McGuinness | 4 | 64 kg |

| 13th | 5 | 18 |
Peig Sayers (M)
Offered something to work on second of 3 starts in maidens but out with the washing on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in October. Best watched on return.

Launch Time (G)
FAV
[P]
Shaped well on several occasions last season and first-time cheekpieces eked out a little progress when scoring on return at Leopardstown (1m) 12 days ago. Did that cosily enough to think he can make another bold bid from revised mark.

348-149 | Robbie Colgan | Cian Hughes | 4 | 62.6 kg |

Johnny's Oasis (G)
[V]
Dual winner at Dundalk last autumn but not operating at the same level in recent months. Others more persuasive.

Tero D'rosa (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who ended last year with a pair of respectable placed efforts at Dundalk, latterly when second over an extended 1¼m in November. One of the more interesting types on seasonal bow.

032-166 | Shane Foley | R O'Sullivan | 4 | 62.1 kg |

| 3rd | 9 | 11 |
Notforalongtime (G)
[B]
Successful 3 times at Dundalk during 2025 but not operating at that level in recent months, never better than midfield when eighth of 14 in handicap there 6 weeks ago. Refitting of blinkers may help operating from much lower turf mark.
|
508338 | Rory Mulligan | Laura Hourigan | 9 | 60.8 kg |

Nibras Rainbow (G)
[B]
Ended lengthy losing run at Dundalk (10.7f) in November but operating below best thereafter, including during a busy spell in January. Rejoined former yard ahead of return and is at least operating 3 lb below last winning mark.

Brosna Green (F)
Maiden following 17 starts and she hasn't been shaping up like she'll be bucking that trend on all-weather of late

| 17th | 12 | 12 |
Reponse Finale (F)
Long-standing maiden who was operating below best on all-weather during second half of last year. Posted one of his better efforts of 2025 here but others more appealing on balance.
|
560-084 | Alan Casey | L Casey | 4 | 58.1 kg |

River Derwent (G)

Posted a trio of creditable efforts at Dundalk during the winter but merely extended losing run when a never dangerous twelfth in 7f handicap there last month.

Yorkshire Myth (G)
[B1]
Ended time with Mick & David Easterby with a respectable second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October but very low-key start for new yard at Dundalk in January. Will have to leave that well behind if he's to feature in first-time blinkers.

Hale Bopp (G)
It's now twenty nine runs since last win in 2023 and he hasn't really threatened in 4 starts since the turn of the year, including back on turf at Leopardstown (1m) 12 days ago.

Swiss Army Officer (G)
Veteran C&D winner who returned to form from out of the blue when second at Killarney (1m) on final start in October. Has gone well fresh previously but no sure thing to be in same form on this return from 6 months off.

He's Holding Court (F)
Lightly-raced maiden who has yet to better poor form in 4 starts to date, including on first start in handicap at Naas (5f) 33 days ago. Steps back up significantly in trip now.

She's On The Ball (F)
Well held all 3 starts in maidens at up to 1m and marked step forward required if she's to feature on handicap debut from out of the weights.

Magna Gee Gee (G)
Losing run stretches back to 2024 but possibly still in need of the run after further 12 weeks off when seventh f 14 in handicap at Gowran (9.6f) 2 weeks ago. RESERVE.

Lightly-raced sort who opened his account in a Dundalk maiden (6f) in February. Struggled on handicap debut next time but back to form with sights lowered when fifth over same C&D 2 weeks ago. RESERVE.
