Orandi (G)

Winner of last year's Irish Lincolnshire but out of sorts last 3 starts, including both outings this season.

N G McCullagh | A J Martin | 8 | 64.9 kg |

| 13th | 2 | 7 |
Crypto Force (C)
Still capable of useful form but remains winless in handicaps, though ground too testing at the Curragh latest.

Jack Kearney | Robson Aguiar | 6 | 63.5 kg |

16/1
|
| 16th | 3 | 16 |
Motu Proprio (F)
Useful on pick of form in France (sold from P. Groualle €45,000). Has joined a top stable so worth a market check.

Hugh Horgan | J P O'Brien | 4 | 63.5 kg |

| 15th | 4 | 2 |
Grey Leader (G)
Scored at Tipperary in October but down the field at the Curragh since, struggling soon after halfway on return/yard debut.

Rion Rubette (F)
Winner over 7f here last summer and better than ever when scoring at Gowran on Wednesday. 7 lb penalty leaves her vulnerable, however.

Paddy Harnett | M Butler | 4 | 61.7 kg |

Collecting Coin (G)
FAV
Progressive as a 3-y-o, off the mark at Third attempt at Galway prior to a good third up in grade at Killarney. Excuses at the Curragh final start (reportedly scoped dirty post-race) and showed promise at Naas on return. One to bear in min…

| 1st | 7 | 3 |
Hellorhighwater (G)
Progressive form in maidens for Gavin Patrick Cromwell last season, off the mark at Cork final run. That form has worked out well and he's an interesting contender on handicap bow/return.

Leigh Roche | N Lupini | 4 | 61.2 kg |

6/1
|
| 12th | 8 | 15 |
Dark Summit (G)
Ex-French winner who wasn't disgraced from stiff opening mark on yard debut/return at the Curragh but ran no sort of race there 3 weeks ago.

Jamie Powell | D Hogan | 4 | 60.8 kg |

Follow Me (G)

| 5th | 10 | 9 |
Lady Lilac (F)
[P1]
Finally off the mark in maiden at Killarney in October and made an excellent return when just failing in big field at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Headgear on and very much one to be interested in.

Seamie Heffernan | J G Murphy | 4 | 60.8 kg |

Expound (G)
[PT]
Reliable sort who ran with credit both starts on AW this season. Better on turf but mark reflects that.

Jared Huggan | D Hogan | 7 | 59 kg |

| 3rd | 12 | 1 |
Fast Tara (M)
[T]
Just a maiden win to her name but runner-up a couple of times last year and shaped as if better for the run at Gowran on return.
|
Adam Grant | P W Flynn | 6 | 58.5 kg |

12/1

| 10th | 13 | 18 |
Highbury See See (G)
Got back on the up with victory in 15-runner handicap at the Curragh in October. Showed benefit of reappearance run when fifth of 21 at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and can step up again.

Andrew Slattery | A Slattery | 4 | 58.5 kg |

9/2
|
| 2nd | 14 | 12 |
Spanish Temptress (F)
Three wins from 10 runs last year, latest at Roscommon in October. Stepped up on return when third of 16 at Gowran 17 days ago and entitled to come on again.

| 11th | 15 | 19 |
San Aer (G)
[T]
Without a win since 2023 but posted pair of solid in-the-frame efforts upon joining present stable during the autumn. Needed return at Naas but always behind having reared leaving stalls at the Curragh 6 days ago.

| 8th | 16 | 13 |
Um Wadi (M)
Ex-French mare who ran best race for this yard when third at Dundalk on return last month, faring best of those held up. One to keep an eye on.
