|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | 1 | 2 |
Justenzia (F)
Very good second of 13 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft) 17 days ago, nicely clear of the rest. Repeat of that will see her involved again.

Ronan Whelan | D Hogan | 4 | 64.4 kg |

Talk Show Host (M)
[H]
Ninth of 15 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 33/1). Off 180 days and significantly back up in trip with a hood back on for this handicap debut. In good hands but more needed to defy this mark.

Siobhan Rutledge | J C McConnell | 7 | 64 kg |

Maeve Brennan (F)
FAV
Teofilo filly. Dam, placed numerous times up to 1m1½f, sister to useful 1¼m-1¾m winner Novis Adventus. Steadily progressed in maidens and shaped better than result when fifth on last month's handicap debut at the Curragh (1½m, heavy, 6/1) …

Pedro The Poet (G)
[H1]
Back on track when fifth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and hood on first time for handicap debut.
|
Julian Pietropaolo | Paul Traynor | 5 | 63.5 kg |

40/1
|
| 18th | 5 | 24 |
Pepper Noir (M)
[T]
Sixth of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (1½m, 28/1) 36 days ago, not ideally placed. That was a step back in the right direction so claims if building on that returned to turf.
|
Jessica Maye | J C McConnell | 5 | 63.5 kg |
19
18/1
|
| 12th | 6 | 11 |
Raydamann (G)
Ran no sort of race when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Naas (2m, heavy) 62 days ago. Fair on the Flat but big bounce back required.
|
Reese Holohan | G Elliott | 5 | 63 kg |
19
18/1
|
| 20th | 7 | 12 |
Lohengrin (G)
[T]
One win from 24 Flat runs. Brought down in handicap at Bellewstown (1m, soft) 14 days ago, badly hampered. Back up in trip and this will reveal more as to current well-being.
|
Ben Coen | E D Delany | 6 | 62.6 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 21th | 8 | 18 |
Master Sydney (M)
Bumper winner last summer who produced best effort yet on the level fitted with a tongue strap for the first time when good fourth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (13f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Down in trip.
|
Robert Whearty | P W Flynn | 5 | 62.6 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 22th | 9 | 25 |
Some Good Men Gone (G)
[T]
Last of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Leopardstown (9f, soft) 10 days ago on return from 7 months off.
|
Sam Coen | A Slattery | 4 | 62.1 kg |
29
28/1
|
| 7th | 10 | 17 |
Tofino (F)
Ninth of 14 in claimer at Dundalk (1m, 22/1), slowly away. Off 164 days and still 6 lb above her winning mark but this step up in trip promises to suit.
|
Gary Carroll | G P Cromwell | 4 | 62.1 kg |
11
10/1
|
| 6th | 11 | 19 |
Gotta Catch'em All (G)
[P]
Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, soft, 12/1) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip with cheekpieces back on and should run closer to form with that under his belt.
|
Adam Caffrey | H Rogers | 6 | 61.7 kg |
9
8/1
|
| 19th | 12 | 23 |
Pebble Island (G)
[T]
Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip and expected to step up on that low-key reappearance.
|
Donagh O'Connor | J C McConnell | 4 | 61.7 kg |
67
66/1
|
| 11th | 13 | 4 |
Wolf Prince (G)
Won back-to-back 2m handicaps over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien in 2024. Off the track since and has moved yards but potentially well treated in this sphere if retaining a chunk of ability.
|
Gavin Ryan | Aidan Melia | 10 | 61.7 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 4th | 14 | 14 |
Faro Island (G)
[P]
Made second handicap start a winning one in September but clearly not on his game when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.5f, 5/2) a month later. Off since

Billy Lee | A Oliver | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Obscenity (G)
FAV
[V1]
Sent off 7/4 with cheekpieces on for first time but could manage only third of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (11.5f, soft) 14 days ago. Yard in good form and he's very much on the shortlist in a change of headgear.
|
J M Sheridan | J P O'Brien | 4 | 61.2 kg |

9/2
|
| 13th | 16 | 20 |
Sonic Invader (G)
Sixth of 12 in maiden at this course (1m, good to firm). Off 12 months ahead of this handicap debut but step up in trip should suit.
|
Emily Grifferty | N Meade | 4 | 61.2 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 14th | 17 | 7 |
Sylkie (M)
[P]
Below form on the Flat in 2025 and little to shout about over hurdles since.

Rory Cleary | D Howard | 5 | 61.2 kg |

28/1
|
| 9th | 18 | 15 |
Rain (M)
One win from 23 Flat runs. 15/2, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (1½m, heavy) 28 days ago. May have needed that reappearance.

Jessica O'Gorman | E & P Harty | 7 | 60.8 kg |

17/2

| 10th | 19 | 3 |
El Regalo (G)

33/1
|
| 23th | 20 | 22 |
Captain Ciano (G)
Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 20/1) 17 days ago. Ín danger of going the wrong way from his reappearance.

James Ryan | T G McCourt | 4 | 59.9 kg |

| 16th | 21 | 21 |
Casheldale Lass (F)
Two wins from 6 runs last year. Seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Killarney (1m, soft). Back up in trip on reappearance.

Roman Bull (G)
Tenth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Dundalk (1½m) in January, meeting trouble. Hasn't stood much racing of late.

33/1
|
| 8th | 24 | 10 |
Searcog (F)
[T]
9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, soft) 13 days ago, barely adequate test. Back up in trip so one to take seriously if getting a run. RESERVE.

Wayne Lordan | P Magee | 4 | 56.2 kg |

Frank Pickle (G)
Fourth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip, which will see him in a better light. RESERVE.

Spanish Rising (G)
Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, first run since leaving B. F. Brookhouse when eleventh of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 41 days ago. Makes handicap debut and he's a potential improver. RESERVE.
