25/1

Nothing to shout about in three starts following a solid performance at Tipperary when finishing 4½L in front of 15 rivals in a Beginners chase. Will need to improve Flat form drastically.

Well beaten in two career starts so far at Gowran Park and Roscommon. Tough ask and others preferred on his second start for new yard.

Bated Breath gelding out of a Desert Prince mare. Small yard that has their fair share of winners to runners but may find this tough on debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P B Beggy| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 89| BF

3/1

Turning out to be a disappointment for powerful connections. Well beaten in two starts this season both sent off as favourite. Not to be trusted and others preferred.

Still Alive³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: E J McNamara| T: A J McNamara

100/1

Well beaten on debut in a Listowel maiden last month beaten 48L showing nothing in defeat. Others make more appeal.

11/2

Laboured performance last time out when finishing 14th of 16 beaten 22L when sent off the 4/1f. Very little to be positive about.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Paul J Jones⁽¹⁰⁾| T: F J Lacy

100/1

By Where Or When out of a Courtship mare. Related to multiple winners The Ducking Stool and Dark Ranger. May find this a little tough and already sports blinkers for debut.

Rive Normande⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Leigh Roche| T: Peter Fahey

80/1

Nothing of any encouragement on four career starts so far including a 22L defeat last time out at Ballinrobe. Vast improvement needed to figure.

Form: 0009

Roman Seera³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: W T Byrne⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Mullins

10/1

Flickers of promise when third of 13 beaten 6½L last time out at Listowel. Weakened markedly in the final furlong which is a concern over the same trip.

Form: 9-3

First-time hood is engaged following a heavy 28L defeat last time out in a Listowel maiden when beaten favourite. From powerful yard though not noted for winners at this meeting.

Highest Power⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: J L Hassett

100/1

Second-rate and poor performance on debut at the Galway festival when finishing 11th of 12 beaten 69L, before a similar fate at Limerick last week. Tough ask and others preferred.

Lunastar¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

125/1

Vale Of York filly, dam a useful sprint winner. Dwelt in the stalls eventually finishing 12th of 17 in a Fairyhouse maiden on debut before suffering a heavy defeat next time at Tipperary. Well out of her depth here.

125/1

Well beaten a total of 34L in two starts on the AW at Dundalk under today's pilot. Will need a chunk of improvement to land a blow.

Run For The Roses²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ross Coakley⁽³⁾| T: A Leahy

125/1

Elusive Pimpernel filly who showed precious little in the way of any ability in three starts on the Flat before turning out over hurdles when well beaten last month. Will need to improve on poor Flat form to figure.
