|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16th | 1 | 12 |
Defiantly (G)
Killarney maiden winner (11f) last summer and improved form when staying-on fourth of 8 in 1¾m listed race at Leopardstown next outing, before running to a similar level at Ascot in October. Drops in trip on seasonal/handicap debut.

Dar Toungi (G)
Useful performer at best in France (stays 10.5f) but making first run since leaving N. Perret he offered little after 8 months off when well held in 1m handicap at the Curragh 3 weeks ago.

Robbie Colgan | A J Martin | 8 | 63 kg |

| 4th | 3 | 15 |
Apercu (M)
[B]
Successful in this race last year and made it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing a Curragh handicap in May. Found things tougher up in grade remaining 3 outings in 2025, but she's now back in handicap company and has gone well fresh before.

Genealogy (G)
[P1]
Punchestown maiden winner for Aidan O'Brien in 2024 but below form in 2 handicaps last year. Runner-up on second of 3 starts for current yard sent hurdling, though back on the level he ran poorly in minor event at the Curragh (1¾m) 3 weeks…

Alphonse Le Grande (G)
[T]
Without a win last year but wasn't seen to best effect on several occasions, including at Royal Ascot and when finishing mid-field at Dundalk (2m) on final outing in November. Back down significantly in trip for his reappearance.

James Ryan | A J Martin | 7 | 59.9 kg |

| 2nd | 6 | 14 |
Iron Fist (G)
Won 2 of his final 3 starts last year, including a 9.5f Clonmel handicap in September. Possibly needed the run after 7 months off when mid-field at the Curragh (1m) 3 weeks ago, so he merits consideration with more still to offer back up i…

Coeur d'Or (G)
[B1T]
A while since his last success but made the frame on 4 occasions last year. Left behind this season's reappearance run when sixth of 12 at Leopardstown 9 days ago and he could take another step forward. Interesting with blinkers on first t…

Akecheta (M)
FAV
[T]
Won minor event at Gowran in September before going on to make the frame in listed race at Naas. Never involved after a slow start in handicap at the Curragh 3 week ago, but she's been given a chance by the handicapper. Tongue strap back o…

Luke McAteer | Kevin Coleman | 6 | 59 kg |

Mano Chicago (G)
Third in 2 maidens in summer 2024 and signed off campaign with a good fifth in valuable sales race at the Curragh. After 18-month absence, shaped as if retaining ability when second in maiden at Gowran 15 days ago, so the market could be i…

Westminster Moon (G)
[T]
Smart at best in Germany but didn't make much impact for current yard last season and, after 8 months off, finished well held in 1m handicap at the Curragh 3 weeks ago.

Bay Colony (F)
[P]
Limerick maiden winner a year ago who faced stiff tasks on final 2 starts of the campaign, including the Irish Oaks. Ran well on seasonal/handicap debut when fourth of 18 at the Curragh earlier this month and she could build on that effort…

Seamie Heffernan | J A Stack | 4 | 57.6 kg |

| 1st | 12 | 13 |
Final Voyage (G)
Losing run is mounting up, but from his easing mark he showed encouragement when never-nearer seventh of 21 at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Needs everything to drop right given his usual hold-up style.

Jessica Maye | J P Murtagh | 8 | 57.6 kg |

| 11th | 13 | 9 |
Quatre Bras (G)
Ended 2025 better than ever, winning twice at Dundalk, and has continued in good heart this year, fourth of 12 at Leopardstown 9 days ago despite having not been ideally placed. Respected.

Reese Holohan | R O'Brien | 5 | 57.6 kg |

Ben Lawers (C)
[T]
Narrowly landed the odds in a Dundalk maiden (1m) in February. However, has raced freely sent handicapping in 2 starts since, sixth of 12 at Lingfield on latest outing 3 weeks ago. Runner-up over this trip last year but will need to settle…

Calm The Jets (G)
50/1 but ran out a convincing winner of a Dundalk maiden on debut in January last year. After 15 months off, ran creditably sent handicapping when ninth of 21 at the Curragh (1m) 3 weeks ago and he's entitled to do better after only 2 star…

Rory Cleary | C W J Farrell | 4 | 56.7 kg |

| 9th | 16 | 5 |
Amplitude (G)
Much improved when a wide-margin winner of a Gowran maiden on final start last year. Hit with a 20 lb rise in the weights for that success but got back on track after his reappearance run when fourth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown 9 day…

Gary Carroll | J G Murphy | 4 | 56.2 kg |

| 14th | 17 | 1 |
Eben Zaabeel (G)
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m) for Charles Hills, runner-up on all-weather final 2 starts in 2024. However, missed last year and was never a threat making his hurdling/stable debut in a maiden at Fairyhouse 19 days ago.
