Gino Bella (M)
FAV
[T]
Went close at Cork last month but not seen to best effect when strong-travelling fourth of 13 at Clonmel (2m) last time. Looks capable of opening her account.

Peter Smithers | P T Foley | 6 | 76.2 kg |

5/2
|
| 4th | 2 | — |
Embrace The Day (G)
[T1]
Shaped better than the result when mid-field at Clonmel last time, and with tongue strap now added, he cannot be discounted on just his third start in a handicap.
|
Keith Donoghue | G P Cromwell | 5 | 73.9 kg |

Jinxs Link (G)
Landed the first of his 2 career wins at this track, but he's been underwhelming in both starts this year.
|
J J Slevin | M Rice | 10 | 73.9 kg |

20/1

| — | 4 | — |
Jaadil (M)
Backed up the improvement of her Cork win when chasing home a subsequent winner at Sligo later in October and the booking of Jack Kennedy suggests a bold bid is expected on return.

Jack Kennedy | D E Fitzgerald | 5 | 73.5 kg |

| 9th | 5 | — |
Thurman (M)
Looks to have been brought along steadily in maidens and should improve back up in trip on handicap debut.

Ross Berry | Colm Murphy | 6 | 73 kg |

Loughrask Jet (M)

Fared little better for the switch to a handicap when well beaten at Thurles in late-January.

| 5th | 7 | — |
Hidalgo Des Mottes (G)
[PT]
Remains a maiden despite plenty of creditable placed efforts, her latest hurdles second at Thurles (well held on the all-weather subsequently) looking particularly solid form for the grade.
|
Eoin Staples | E Griffin | 9 | 71.2 kg |

8/1
|
| — | 8 | — |
Live My Dream (G)
Shaped a bit better than the beaten distance when mid-field at Clonmel on handicap debut, but he'll need to build on that to make an impact in a competitive race.
|
Darragh O'Keeffe | D Budds | 5 | 71.2 kg |

Miss Donna (M)
Inexpensive mare made more impact than previously when fourth at Tramore in October and now goes handicapping, having trailed the field on return from 6 months off at Wexford (40/1) last time.
|
Dylan Whelan | Patrick Kiely | 5 | 69.4 kg |

Bowgate Street (M)
[T]
Maiden should come on for her recent reappearance at Cork, and she did go close from higher marks than this last season.
|
Philip Donovan | M Flannery | 7 | 68.9 kg |

Thatsmyroadie (G)
Showed little at long odds in maidens and steps back up in trip (bred to stay) for his handicap debut.

P J O'Hanlon | D A McLoughlin | 6 | 68.9 kg |

|
| 8th | 12 | — |
Crafty Gael (G)
[B1]
Plenty of creditable placed form in handicaps in 2023, though hasn't shown much in a pair of starts following a significant absence and hopes rest on the fitting of more severe headgear.
|
Shane Markey | R O'Sullivan | 7 | 68.5 kg |

Crab Road (G)
Achieved little in maiden hurdles last year and it's hard to be confident now switched to a handicap.

Elizabeth Gale | J J Hanlon | 5 | 68 kg |

| 2nd | 14 | — |
Finnicky Filly (M)
[T]
Well held over fences at Tramore last time but remains only 1 lb higher than when successful in similar company at Clonmel in December.

Michael Kenneally | J P Ryan | 8 | 66.7 kg |

| 1st | 15 | — |
Chemdawg (M)
[B]
Still a maiden over jumps but bounced back to form when second under an enterprising ride at Limerick last time, and it's not out of the question that she gets her own way in front again here.
|
Phillip Enright | O McKiernan | 7 | 65.8 kg |

5/1
|
| 6th | 16 | — |
Sidiriya (M)
Back on form when third of 17 at Naas (2m, soft) in March and can have subsequent Cork run overlooked after all but unseating at the first.

Tiernan Power Roche | P J Rothwell | 7 | 65.8 kg |

Avandra (M)

Long-standing maiden hasn't been shaping like a winner in waiting. RESERVE.

Celtic Crossing (M)
Better effort when fifth on handicap debut at Roscommon in September 2024 but off since finishing well held at Punchestown the following month. RESERVE

Kentucky Bluebird (M)
Made more impact than previously on second start in a handicap when sixth of 18 at Cork last August, though will need to build on that to be competitive. RESERVE
