-
Harry Sexton 4%E D Delany 8%062P0-No signal13/2 10/1 6/1Best form is over 2m4f, inclduing when runner-up in Down Royal handicap in March; has run poorly since and tries longer trip here with headgear removed; did win a soft-ground point over 3m.
-
Hector Crouch 18%33194/No signal7/2Two hurdle wins late last year and he's held his form pretty well in that discipline, last seen six weeks ago; his last Flat race was in 2024 for his former yard and peak form that year (1m6f win) suggests this is a realistic mark.
-
/F0/P2No signal40/1Old boy had a good career across the codes for the late Edward O'Grady; had been out of action since summer of 2023 until resuming in point-to-points last month.
-
/1310-No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Two handicap wins on nice ground last summer, over a similar trip to this at Clonmel and then over nearly 3m at Tipperary; off 10 months.
-
Patrick Neville 19%8623P-No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul.
-
00-FPNo signal66/1No impact in bumpers; beaten when fell on hurdling bow at Clonmel and pulled up at Listowel last time.
-
Mr P W Mullins 33%W. P. Mullins 26%2/124-No signal8/11 FCST 8/13Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo won at Sligo last summer (good) before finishing second against some useful geldings at Galway; reappeared at the festival here in April when not far off the placed horses in Grade 3 won impressively by a stablemate; plenty of decent mares behind her then.
-
David Probert 13%Owen Burrows 21%9/07-1No signalSPPipped in the 2022 Ebor; he's now a 10yo and very lightly raced in recent seasons but had sunk way down the weights before winning pretty smoothly at Salisbury (1m6f) last month on third start for this yard; bit to prove these days on softer than good; also back up 4lb but stays 2m and still thrown in judged on his old form. -
J M Sheridan 11%746347No signal25/1 FCST 22/1Won 7f maiden for Aidan O'Brien; fair AW run in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at this venue; needs to reverse the form of last Sunday's Listowel clash with I Bid You Ajou and Aurora Nova.
-
Roisin Leech 7%Sophie Leech 13%3P039-No signal33/1 25/1 28/1Ex-French gelding; beaten 6l on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, soft) but failed to fire at Sedgefield in the new cheekpieces that are retained; others preferred.
-
Oakley Brown 15%Adrian Keatley 15%/07/11No signal10/3Returned from long absence with good-ground wins at Market Rasen and Warwick for new stable last month; should cope if the ground is softer here and might still be on the upgrade; must be considered.
-
88-113No signalSPReturned from over four years off last year; has prospered in the second phase of his career, winning back-to-back at Navan (6f, heavy) and Bellewstown (5f, soft); continued in fine form when third in a 21-runner contest at the Curragh seven weeks ago; every chance if continuing in the same vein. -
-42112No signal17/2 8/1 17/2Transferred his excellent AW form (4211) to turf when second over C&D six week ago; chance in this company is underlined by his victory over Jordan Breeze at Dundalk in April; shares a consistent recent profile with that rival and Alnofoor.
-
V C Ward 2%88-No signal66/1Wasn't been beaten out the gate by any means in winter bumpers at Leopardstown and Navan, but unlikely to contend all the same.
-
Ms M Flynn 2%2/09-0No signal50/1Flat maiden has won two over hurdles; out of form in that sphere this year and while he has gone well here before, he's hard to fancy on recent showings; tame effort again over hurdles at Clonmel on Friday.
-
William Buick 25%Charlie Appleby 33%46351-No signal13/22024 Sandown Classic Trial winner (good to soft) who missed the rest of that season; underwhelming on first four starts last year and ran particularly poorly at Glorious Goodwood (sole visit here) but he ended that campaign by winning narrowly in a four-runner Listed race at Windsor in August; needs to build on that but should stay 1m4f.
-
Neil King 22%251111No signalSPThriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them; that includes his last four races and although the big majority of those runs were on AW, he also scored in a seven-runner race over C&D (good; made all) on penultimate outing; not proven on softer than good (well beaten on soft in October) but, after a comfortable AW win last time, he could still have more improvement in him. -
Mr H C Swan 19%T M Walsh 12%—No signal12/1 18/1 11/1Closely related to winners Hardwired (2m1f-2m7f hurdle/chase) and Be Fierce (1m7f chase/2m hurdle); half-sister to dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner Friary Road; dam bumper (inc Listed) and 2m/2m2f hurdle winner, out of unraced sister to high-class French 1m-10.5f winner Act One; late debut for daughter of Pour Moi.
-
—No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Cotai Glory filly; E17,000 yearling; dam 6f/7f winner (inc 2yo; RPR 90), out of maiden half-sister to 6f Listed winner Inyordreams and Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner Fire Eyes; best watched on debut unless the market speaks.
-
W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%02-040No signal12/1 12/1 11/1Uneven form since winning over this trip at Cork last August; respectable fourth at Bellewstown, down the field at this venue last time; others are more dependable.
-
David Probert 13%Clive Cox 17%9No signal8/1 9/1 8/1Smart pedigree but in need of the experience when down the field in a 6f maiden at Newbury last month (good ground; 12-1); this looks less demanding and he is open to improvement.
-
Ben Coen 11%Edward Lynam 11%0354-0No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Ordinary form other than a close third of nine in a C&D maiden at Navan on soft last October; in rear at the Curragh on return, plenty to prove a a result
-
Wesley Joyce 6%69-035No signal20/1Made the breakthrough over 6f two seasons ago; her three wins last term were all over 5f, two of them at Bellewstown, where she had a good comeback run in April; closely matched with Aurora Nova on last Sunday's running at Listowel.
-
7No signal20/1 16/1 20/1Sent off the 3-1 joint favourite on debut at Cork (5f, soft) but failed to run to market expectations; likely capable of better and interesting to see if her backers return, but can only be watched after that initial effort.
- B
-
1526-0No signal40/1Won off 2lb lower at Tipperary last season (5f, good); failed to beat a rival when last seen at Dundalk in January; record when fresh suggests he might need this run.
-
Jack Cleary 8%Liam McAteer 3%-00900No signal28/1 28/1 25/1Won on heavy ground at Killarney (1m) in 2023 but no joy since; out of form this term and step up to 1m5f didn't elicit improvement at Leopardstown latest; others preferred.
-
0-No signal80/1Purchased for 30,000euros as a 3yo; Crystal Ocean filly showed nothing on bumper debut here and needs to take a big step forward.
-
Hector Crouch 18%4No signal15/2 15/2 7/1Never a threat but it was still a promising start to his career when fourth of 12 in a 6f maiden at Windsor two weeks ago (good to firm); quickly drops into selling company and he is open to improvement but others have achieved more.
-
Toby Wynne 16%R. Mike Smith 10%F075-3No signal7/2 7/2 10/3Displayed improvement and travelled well for a long way when third here (2m4f, good to soft) on last month's handicap debut; may benefit from this drop back in trip; one to consider.
-
Aidan Kelly 9%E Bolger 13%25/6P-No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Took runner-up spot at Kilbeggan on second hurdle start (2m1f, yielding) and caught the eye of the stewarsd at last year's festival here ; tailed off at Naas in November and pulled up at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy) on handicap bow; this is weak, so she's in the mix, but others preferred.
-
Aidan Kelly 9%Padraig Roche 10%90/98-No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Flat and 2m maiden hurdle winner was only beaten 10l in last year's Fred Winter, but has struggled since; while going a longer trip in first-time blinkers wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, perhaps the trainer knows better.
-
Mr J C Barry 6%8/No signal100/150s, beaten 33l in Kilbeggan bumper over a year ago.
-
David Noonan 8%Adam Nicol 16%9P9-No signal7/2 4/1 7/2Showed no significant promise in her three qualifying races over hurdles in January-March but makes handicap hurdle debut from a basement mark and returns to this code after winning on the Flat (1m4f; RPR 61) last month; interesting.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%David Evans 13%7909-3No signal9/4Has some strong C&D form; the second half of 2025 was disappointing but he dropped in the weights and his reappearance third at Kempton was a welcome return to form; big player.
-
J A Stack 12%90-185No signal7/2Ground-versatile sort; won for the third time on seasonal return at the Curragh in March (5f, sft-hvy) off 8lb lower; not disgraced in Listed company at Naas; fine effort off revised mark back at the Curragh latest (6f, good) when ahead of The Highway Rat and Erosandpsyche; won his maiden here (6f) and should go well again.
-
218/P-No signal16/1 FCST 14/1Placed in two points and won a bumper in 2022; returned from almost three years off the track at Hexham when pulled up; just 7-1 that day, so perhaps she can come on for it.
-
Harry Sexton 4%0/88-No signal100/1 80/1 100/1Tailed off in a Fairyhouse bumper and a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Bellewstown; got to within 27l of the winner at Roscommon last time; others preferred.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%1-13No signal5/1Won novice events on first two starts, latterly at Nottingham (1m, good) in April; good third of seven in Listed race at York (1m, good) last month, with major late gains from out the back to suggest this longer trip will prompt further improvement; it is needed but she is one to consider.
-
Jamie Hamilton 10%5355P-No signal33/1 FCST 25/1Placed in Musselburgh maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has looked out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat in recent months (had wind op before latest run); needs to turn a corner.
-
Mr A P Ryan(3) 15%Peter Fahey 11%30-2No signal10/3 FCST 3/1Good start when placed at Galway last summer; 66-1 when outclassed in Aintree Grade 2 in April; 6-4 at Limerick when beaten by market rival who looks a useful prospect.
-
Bruce Lynn 3%5P8P-5No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Struggled in Hexham seller last month (first-time visor) and is now 0-10 over hurdles; 2lb out of the weights here; difficult to enthuse over.
-
William Maggs 10%R. Mike Smith 10%6641-4No signal15/2Kept on too strongy for Storm The Dug over C&D (good) in April, getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt, but was well held (albeit on soft ground) at Hexham last month; others have more potential.
-
Toby Wynne 16%R. Mike Smith 10%0P50-0No signal100/1 80/1 66/1This is her handicap debut and a major step up in trip, but there have been signs of only a little ability; tongue tied on latest start and a hood (tried four starts back, pulled up) is reinstated.
-
Harry Reed 14%Tristan Davidson 15%1251-3No signal9/2 11/2 4/1Career bests on the RPR front in his last two races, winning at Kelso (2m5f) and close up at Aintree (2m4f; again on good); could run well, though a nagging concern that he didn't appear to stay 3m when he tried it once before (at this track).
-
R. Mike Smith 10%88-9No signal125/1 FCST 100/1300-1 when tailed off behind Kibris here 24 days ago; no appeal.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Charlie Pike 7%-00560No signal7/2Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting.
-
J. P. Murtagh 11%/15-70No signal40/1 50/1 40/1Finished midfield in French and German Oaks in 2024; Listed winner at Cork for Paddy Twomey on Irish debut; failed to build on that; two moderate runs this season; needs big improvement in first-time blinkers.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%—No signal5/1 9/2 5/185,000euros foal; second foal; by Minzaal; dam French Listed-placed 7.5f-8.5f winner (including 2yo/AW; RPR 93), sister to useful French 1m-1m4f winner Anobe; betting should be revealing for a stable in fine form.
-
Richie McLernon 13%R. Mike Smith 10%3156-PNo signal28/1 FCST 25/10-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated.
-
Bruce Lynn 3%R. Mike Smith 10%9-7No signal200/1Tailed off in bumpers at Ayr (heavy) and here (good to soft); huge odds both times.
-
Ryan Mania 17%R. Mike Smith 10%7563-2No signal11/4 11/4 5/2Raced exclusively over hurdles since finishing second in Cartmel hunter chase on rules debut in spring 2024; caused 50-1 shock at 2025 Punchestown festival and has been placed twice in today's headgear combination here this spring (2m4f/3m2f); contender if able to transfer that form to fences.
- C
-
Alan O'Sullivan 10%Eoin Griffin 8%5No signal33/116,000euros 3yo; fourth foal; half-brother to smart 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner Lombron; dam unraced half-sister to French 1m7f hurdle winner Omessa Has, out of half-sister to Listed-placed 1m4f Flat and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Enfant De Lune; last of five finishers on point debut last month.
-
J M Sheridan 11%James Tate 19%/6666-No signal25/1Placed over 6f/7f in Britain two seasons ago; off for almost a year; hard to fancy against that background.
-
M Flannery 3%056-No signal33/1Handicap debutante didn't show a whole lot in maidens at 9.5f-1m4f on varying ground; off since October and sports cheekpieces; best watched.
-
94-910No signal18/1 18/1 12/1Won here in 2020 but last in this race last year; back to life at Newbury (2m, good; fine on soft) this April, making all in a six-runner race, but a sluggish start immediately put him on the back foot in the Chester Plate (10-1) one month ago and he ended up last of 17; well treated on old form but perhaps needs things to go his own way these days.
-
Ed Walker 16%42-32No signalSPQuiet improver though her four starts have not yielded a win; 1m handicap second off a mark of 80 last time (good to soft) gave hope for 1m2f but surely she has too much to find at this level. -
Kevin Sexton 9%E Sheehy 4%1233/6No signal11/1 12/1 9/1Had very useful form in 2023 and looked sharper for his Flat return after 851 days off the track when a 12l sixth of ten at Wexford (2m, good to yielding); on a nice mark if continuing to shake off his rustiness.
-
Sean Quinlan 15%Jennie Candlish 17%22-112No signal5/2 5/2 9/4Launched chasing career with wins at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month, and also ran well when second over hurdles on Tuesday; evidently in very good nick but current chase mark asks a question of him, and today's forecast slower ground is probably not ideal.
-
2UNo signal5/2 9/4 5/20-18 on Flat but promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel when staying on well to take the runner-up spot despite suffering interference (2m4f, good to yielding) and the winner easily followed up next time; unseated at the second when saddle slipped at Kilbeggan; worth another chance, although trip is an unknown.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%—No signal8/1 9/1 8/125,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Nibras Angel (7f; RPR 96) and Doha Bu Thaila (Qatari 6.5f-10.5f); dam 7f/1m winner (78), sister to 5f-7f winner Munfarrid, half-sister to Listed-placed 6.5f 2yo/1m winner Morning Post; useful pedigree for one starting out in selling company; betting to guide.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Stuart Williams 13%6-8801No signal17/2 13/2 17/2Capitalised on his reduced mark when running away with a 7f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago (good ground); hit with an 8lb rise but he has had few chances at the trip; untested on slower than good.
-
S Donohoe 0%/P/U-PNo signalSP FCST 150/1Maiden pointer has been tailed off in all starts under rules and failed to complete two point-to-points since returning from long absence.
-
Luke Scott 16%Jennie Candlish 17%62P31-No signalSP 10/3 7/2Battled on well to win gruelling contest here (2m4f, good) in April; that form is treated with a degree of caution but he's only 2lb higher today and this shorter trip on forecast slower ground will suit.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%2No signal6/4 FCST 3/2Ten Sovereigns filly sent off at 8-1 on debut over C&D (yielding) and found just Matriarchal (who is closely matched with Hanney Boy) too good by 0.5l; dwelt at the start that day and made up lots of ground in the final furlong; should be more streetwise now and she's a leading contender.
-
Sam Coen 11%734195No signal20/1 22/1 20/1Beat I Bid You Ajou at Dundalk in April; his AW record (5-30, placed nine times) is much stronger than turf (1-22, placed three times); only limited appeal with those statistics in mind.
-
Emmet Mullins 14%8570-No signalSPNon-runner. -
Mr O McGill 17%Paul W Flynn 9%0-1No signal5/1 4/1 9/2Well beaten on debut but only 8-1 at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) where she made all with Elliott and Mullins supplying the placed horses.
-
Enola Pollet 0%Edward Lynam 11%-56392No signal9/1 10/1 17/2Six-time AW winner; was close up in third behind Clonmacash at Dundalk in April; second there on latest, reversing form with Clonmacash in the process; has the merit of being a C&D winner; definite chance for 10lb claimer who has made the frame in three of the five Irish races she has ridden in.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%—No signal22/1 33/1 20/1Profitable colt; E4,000 yearling; half-brother to 7f 2yo/9.5f AW winner Easily Convinced (inc France; RPR 71); dam French 1m2f 2yo winner (77), half-sister to 1m2f 2yo winner The Olympian; yard had recent 2yo winner; check market.
-
Brian Hughes 19%Patrick Neville 19%/2111-No signal7/2His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb.
-
John Queally 10%4P45P-No signal33/1 18/1 28/1Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; couple of good runs over fences last summer; poor efforts over hurdles last two starts and off since November.
-
James Smith 9%Gordon Elliott 18%613P-4No signal10/1 FCST 9/1Upped to 3m for a last-gasp win in 20-runner race at Down Royal in October; respectable fourth of 18 under James Smith at Punchestown (again 3m on good to yielding) last month confirms her in serious calculations.
-
Shane Foley 11%8/87-3No signal11/1Long-standing maiden showed a bit more when third at Sligo (10.5f, yld-sft) on latest when 5lb wrong; 3lb out of the handicap here and stamina to prove for this trip; others appeal more.
-
Paddy Cleary 5%Gordon Elliott 18%2349-2No signal9/2Some okay runs in bumpers last summer and ran her best race over hurdles back from a break at Clonmel (2m1f, good to yielding) last time when a 1.25l second of 18; big player if staying this new trip and finding improvement from that first run back.
-
352051No signal17/2 17/2 8/1Back to winning ways off 4lb lower at Dundalk on latest, making all to score by 0.5l; may find things tougher upped in grade off his revised rating (never won off a mark this high).
-
/2550-No signal14/1 14/1 11/1Bumper winner on debut, yet to add to that; his fifth of 23 in 2m4f Leopardstown handicap over Christmas would give him a chance; well beaten on bad ground next time; had a spin on the Flat last month.
- D
-
Lisa Harrison 12%4554-7No signal16/1 11/1 14/1This race in 2024 is among his three Perth wins from 23 visits; latest win was last July over C&D again from 2lb higher than today and that was his second run after a break, the same scenario which presents itself today; needs a second look but others are preferred for the win.
-
260-70No signal15/2 8/1 13/214-race maiden; no impact in his two runs this year (following a wind operation) and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%George Boughey 18%315-24No signal16/1 12/1 14/12yo maiden winner whose best form (from six races) came when fourth of eight in a C&D Listed race (good) two weeks ago; slowly away at 40-1 that day and made late progress, so still looks capable of a bit better; that could still mean minor honours, though.
-
S M Duffy 2%3-2332No signal9/2Knocking on the door on the AW earlier this year; fine run on return to turf when a 1.75l second at Roscommon (Mapa behind); nudged up 1lb but should be thereabouts again; visor goes on.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%3No signal11/2 9/2 11/2Ghaiyyath gelding made a pleasing debut when a 2.75l third over 6f at Cork last month (Hanney Boy second), not quite getting home; the drop back to 5f should suit and he's a player.
-
Chris Hayes 9%P J F Murphy 5%013919No signal11/1 FCST 10/1Veteran gained the ninth win of his career when bolting up at Sligo on penultimate (1m6f, yld-sft); raised 8lb and couldn't follow up at Listowel (2m, good); drop back in trip a plus and has run well here before; place shout.
-
332482No signalSPCapable of useful form but not easy to win with these days, getting little respite from the handicapper; another solid effort when second at Musselburgh 17 days ago (7f, good) but others appeal more for win purposes.
-
P0-675No signal9/1 10/1 17/2Has become hard to predict but travelled a bit better than he often does when fifth in a first-time visor at Ballinrobe; cheekpieces back on now and trip looks too sharp.
-
Alan Doyle 11%Patrick Neville 19%57-No signal80/1 FCST 66/1Insufficient promise in two good-ground bumpers to warrant a second look here on hurdle debut.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Oliver Cole 11%017-43No signal4/1 10/3 7/2His two wins have come over 6f but he is fully effective over this extra furlong; back to his last winning mark and he will be a danger to all if the ground is suitable (well beaten in one run on slower than good).
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%139No signal15/8 2/1 3/2Looked smart when making a winning debut over 1m at Naas in March; a combination of inexperience and trouble in running proved her undoing in a 1m fillies' Group 3 at the Curragh early last month; has something to prove now after a lifeless display over 1m2f at the same venue last time.
-
Ben Coen 11%2940-7No signal11/1 14/1 11/1Second in a 1m Listed race at Killarney last August; aimed very high in the Matron Stakes and now has her sights lowered after contesting a 7f Group 3 event at Leopardstown four weeks ago; this extra furlong may prove closer to the optimum trip.
-
James Smith 9%Gordon Elliott 18%P09P-PNo signal22/1 20/1 22/1Only 1-20 over fences, the win coming in the 3m Mayo National in 2024 (good ground); finished a fine second in the Galway Plate that summer but he's been underperforming for a while now and belatedly tries a tongue-tie.
-
Alix Balfe 6%Gavin Cromwell 11%6F57-8No signal28/1 FCST 22/1One of three for trainer; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; moderate efforts in the autumn and two outings back from a break haven't been much better.
- E
-
T G McCourt 7%74-562No signal5/1Knows how to win and shaped as though her turn was near when running on well for second at Leopardstown (ahead of Jurality and Felicity Smoak); big chance if she backs that up off the same mark.
-
980006No signal12/14-20 on turf but hasn't won since 2023; not a bad run over 2m at Listowel (2m, good) after missing the break latest; more needed back in trip, but positive rider booking.
-
P J Rothwell 7%43PP9-No signal50/1Dual-winning chaser whose last win came at Listowel in September off 1lb lower (2m6f, good to yielding); looks up against it based on a failure to complete at Gowran over fences and Fairyhouse over hurdles before finishing tailed off here last time.
-
Ben Coen 11%690/00No signal25/1 FCST 22/1Dual-purpose maiden yet to trouble the judge in either code; soundly beaten on last two Flat starts and over hurdles on latest; drops in grade and blinkers return, but hard to fancy.
-
Kevin Sexton 9%Gordon Elliott 18%341-F1No signal2/1 2/1 32/17Likes a sound surface and was prolific over hurdles (rated 129) last year, winning five times at up to 2m4f, including a fast-ground victory in America; was running a good race when coming down on chasing debut; benefitted from fall of odds-on favourite when winning over 2m at Tramore, not having much to spare over 112-rated rival.
-

Luke Morris 12%John Ryan 9%14-529No signal12/1Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims.
-
Ben Coen 11%J. P. Murtagh 11%6671-3No signal25/1Second to the top-class Minnie Hauk on debut at Leopardstown in 2024 (1m, soft); off the mark on her fourth and final start of 2025 in a 1m2f Curragh maiden; achieved a clear career-best when third at Gowran a month ago, closely matched with Lemsairbat.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%4100-3No signal7/1 FCST 13/2Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift.
-
210-46No signal66/1Looked well suited by 7f when winning twice at two; vulnerable at this level on the evidence of two runs this term.
-
W. P. Mullins 26%/531-2No signal8/15 FCST 1/2Maiden hurdle winner placed in a Grade 1 before losing his form last year; blasted back to somewhere near his best when landing a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m7f, good to yielding) by 17l in April; 2m at Wexford was too sharp for him when 7.5l behind the winner in second, carrying a penalty; rider reduces penalty here and he's undoubtedly the one to beat.
-
6609-4No signal15/2 8/1 13/2Maiden produced one of his better efforts on latest when not far behind a couple of these rivals at Down Royal (2m, good); place shout if he backs that up, but overall profile suggests that's not guaranteed.
-
11-336No signal40/1Progressive handicapper on heavy ground late last season; best of her three runs this season when third in the Irish Lincoln; meets stablemate Duckadilly on 16lb worse than handicap terms; blinkered for the first time.

-
S M Duffy 2%7000-6No signal80/1 FCST 66/1Not the easiest to win with, as his 2-63 record on turf illustrates; never involved after a slow start in a QR race at Listowel latest; unproven at this trip.

Cieren Fallon 18%William Haggas 23%1112-3No signal5/4 18/13 5/4Won a novice and three Ascot 1m4f handicaps on varied ground last June-September; pipped a below-form Hamish for second in Ascot Group 3 on final outing last year and resumed his progress when he reappeared with a close third in Newbury Group 3 (1m4f, good) in April; that puts him into very serious contention today.
-
Liam Quinlan 8%Ray Hackett 9%06/46-No signal40/1Soundly beaten in two bumpers; two hurdle runs indicate she will need a handicap mark to have winning prospects.
-
Ms M Barcoe 0%P J Rothwell 7%P045P-No signal40/1 25/1 40/1Three hurdle wins but this is his first run in this discipline since 2024; couple of fair runs over fences this year and will like the ground.
-
Luke McAteer 8%050-6No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Modest form last season, failed to make an impact in a claimer on stable/seasonal debut; not one of the more obvious candidates.
-
Richard Hughes 15%855881No signal11/1Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; going was fast for last month's 5f Bath win on his final start for Richard Hughes; any ease might harm his chance on Irish debut.
-
55700-No signal66/1 FCST 40/1In a good yard and returns from wind surgery, but she was 50-1 for her handicap debut here in April and performed accordingly.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%05-563No signal9/4 FCST 2/1Good third off this mark at Thirsk (6f, good) last week, doing best of those drawn in single figures and that despite meeting some trouble in running; has plenty of form on soft in France; one to take seriously.
-
Harry Skelton 27%Dan Skelton 22%122-1No signal8/11 FCST 8/13Did well in bumpers and comfortably off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good); this is tougher than that winnable race but he's well related and entitled to improve plenty more with racing.
-
Tyler Heard 7%Simon Dow 11%-80581No signal15/2 7/1 15/2Capitalised on the drop to Class 6 company when running away with a Lingfield handicap (7f, good) 19 days ago; the 7lb rise against stiffer opposition should find her out.

Billy Loughnane 18%David Evans 13%4422No signal5/4 11/10 6/5Promise in all four starts, keeping on for second in a 6f seller at Chester eight days ago (passed the reopposing Fortunate, who was better drawn, close home); untried on slower than good; leading form claims.

P J O'Hanlon 7%75425-No signal10/1 9/1 10/1Beaten a head by The Gradual Slope at Fairyhouse in April (2m5f, yielding to soft); creditable effort around the cross-country course at the Punchestown festival last time (3m1f, good to yielding); not ruled out.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%623-12No signal10/1 FCST 15/2Made all at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut and set steady pace when second here (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) 16 days ago; steady improver but needs a big step forward in today's first-time headgear.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Gerard Keane 8%339-00No signal22/1 FCST 20/121-race maiden; has occasionally shown winning potential; placed three times last year for his former trainer; two moderate runs this season have dented confidence in his ability to score.
-
23370-No signal28/1 FCST 25/1Placed in five maidens this year and also finished third in a C&D handicap last July; rider teamed up with his mother at Dundalk recently to provide her with a winning start to her training career.

26P2-1No signal8/1 10/1 7/1Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet.
-
Danny McMenamin 15%Lisa Harrison 12%2P84-6No signal20/1 11/1 16/1Veteran who gained four of his six chase wins over C&D and is versatile regarding ground; well beaten when 50-1 for 2m4f hurdle here last month, after a layoff, but that was also the case before he bounced back to form and finished second in this race a year ago; can't be ignored.
-
James Davies 8%Nigel Hawke 6%2373-7No signal22/1 22/1 20/12m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance.
-
246-73No signal9/2 5/1 9/2Last season's best performances came in Group 1s when runner-up in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and very close fourth in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); flopped on reappearance at Cork; Haydock third was reassuring; however, best at 1m2f-1m4f.

W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%32-308No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Placed in all four maiden attempts, including behind La Fogata last season and stablemate Drop Dead Gorgeous at Naas in March; last of 12 in a Group 3 event at the Curragh; hard to fancy at this level following an unplaced handicap run on latest.
-
Liz Doyle 7%82P6/PNo signal7/1 FCST 13/2Looked promising when winning a Sligo bumper in 2023; pulled up back from 501 days away over 3m here last month (17-2); cheekpieces worn that day now left off.
-
Peter Smithers 10%2116-9No signal7/1 15/2 7/1Maiden and 2m6f novice winner last year represents a stable in fine form and will be better for last month's Killarney return.
-
M. P. Sheehy 8%Adrian Keatley 15%920-09No signal10/1 FCST 8/1Losing run stretches back over two years and neither start this year suggests he is ready to exploit his lowly mark; the prospect of slow ground does pique interest though.

241-No signal17/2 FCST 8/1Went close on Leopardstown debut last July and then fourth of ten behind the brilliant Diamond Necklace over 7f at the Curragh; beat the useful Emmeleia in a maiden at Dundalk in September; looks almost sure to improve her official rating of 89, if she has trained on satisfactorily.

W. P. Mullins 26%4621U-No signalevn 10/11 EvsMaiden winner over hurdles, rated 118; promise in good beginners' at Gowran and built on that to win four-runner affair over this trip at Wexford, making all; didn't get far in novice handicap at the festival here (hampered and unseated rider) for which he was 40s and Raglan Road was 18/1; wins have come on easy ground, but he handles good.
-
8-8864No signal40/16lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June under Jack Dace, who frequently rides him; has not beaten many in his four starts this season, however; has one piece of form at this track (2022) but something to prove on softer than good.
No horse matches that.
