Althib²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A M Glynn⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan

66/1

Well beaten and no impression in two maidens for current yard following a move from the Charles Hills stable. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 6/00

Cape Agulhas⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: W T Byrne⁽¹⁰⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 68

Form: 97-5

Duke Of Waspington²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: P J F Murphy

6/1

Plenty of encouragement in recent starts including last time out when second of 13 over 1m4f here last month. Market should be informative.

Form: 4-2

Los Alamos^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

6/4

Did not run for Aiden O'Brien and interesting AW newcomer for current yard following a number of disappointments in maiden hurdles recently. Claims if handling the surface.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K J Manning| T: A McCann| OR: 71

12/1

Ger Lyons could not get a win out of this Intikhab gelding in four starts including two starts here. Market likely to reveal expectations on stable debut.

Stormy Air²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K K Hennessy⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan

50/1

Well held ninth over 7f on debut here last month. Probably best watched on his first attempt at this distance.

Form: 9

Where's My Warrior^b⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Madden⁽⁵⁾| T: F J Lacy

100/1

First run may as well be forgotten considering rider lost his irons at halfway before a dismal show here in November and is still a big outsider here with others holding stronger profiles.

Form: 00-

Winston Wolfe¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L F Roche| T: D Bunyan & G O'Leary| OR: 69

5/1

Promising second of 11 beaten a neck over C&D in July but not seen since September and possibly best watched on return to the track.

Allora Yeats^t⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D M Simmonson⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S J Harty

66/1

By Yeats out of a Shernazar mare, she is related to multiple winners Montaly and Question Of Faith. Weakened after leading for a good bit of the race on AW debut in December.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: J G Fitzgerald

100/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for trainer-Adrian Keatley and not seen since May last year. Others hold stronger profiles here.

66/1

Beaten 194L in a Naas bumper in November before a 22L defeat here over 7f last month. Hard to fancy with very little to be positive about.

Form: 0

Lady De Vesci²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Smullen| T: M Halford

11/1

By Approve out of a Black Sam Bellamy mare related to Waady, El Astonaute and recent Lingfield winner Swift Approval. Promising debut here last month and needs to maintain progress to shine.

Spring Garden^p⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 68

9/4

Solid and consistent on his last three starts here over 1m without winning and not one to totally leave out of calculations now upped in trip.

Shabrasupmonaghan⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: C J McGovern| T: A McCann

66/1

First Reserve: Beaten a total of 48L in two starts over C&D in December and January. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Forecasts

Los Alamos (6/4), Spring Garden (9/4), Winston Wolfe (5/1), Duke Of Waspington (6/1), Sir Danilo (7/1), Lady De Vesci (11/1), Spiral Galaxy (12/1), Cape Agulhas (25/1), Stormy Air (50/1), Building Year (50/1), Allora Yeats (66/1), Shabrasupmonaghan (66/1), Hawthorn Echo (66/1), Althib (66/1), Cinnabar Reds (100/1), Where's My Warrior (100/1)

The enigmatic Sir Danilo doesn't usually hang about and will ensure an honest pace from the front with possibly Lady De Vesci, Los Alamos and Winston Wolfe chasing in behind ready to deliver their challenges at the business end of the contest along with SPRING GARDEN who can land the spoils here in a race that won't take much winning.
