Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: D W O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: J F Levins| OR: 74| D

8/1

Winner on his final couple of starts for trainer Marco Botti, both on the AW at Wolverhampton. Looking to land a hat-trick of victories on stable debut in first-time cheekpieces. One for the shortlist.

Royal Admiral^v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Colin Keane| T: A McGuinness| OR: 73

14/1

Running well in defeat in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk over the winter. Looked to be taken off his feet as the pace increased on return to action at Navan last week. Step up in trip sure to suit.

Form: 18530-0

Tonkinese^t⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: S M Crosse⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 73

5/1

Losing run now dates back as far as 2016. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts on the AW at Dundalk in February but the Authorized gelding is now racing 18lb lower than last winning mark, which has to be a concern.

Form: 0/30-35V

Carbon Dating²³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Alan Persse⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Hughes| OR: 72| D

33/1

A regular feature in Lanarkshire at Hamilton Park - placed on each of his last three visits to that track. Likely to run his race here but is now 29lb lower than last winning mark.

Spelga¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 71| BF| D

8/1

Landed a hat-trick of victories on the AW at Dundalk over the winter, rising 22lb in the process. Still yet to hit the frame in eight career starts on turf but capable of a bold bid.

Ultra Pride¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Lavery| OR: 71

13/2

Has generally held his form since getting off the mark at the seventh time of asking when landing a 1m2f handicap at the Curragh on yielding to soft ground in August off a 8lb lower mark. One of the more interesting contenders.

Final Orders¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Sean Davis| T: G Donnelly| OR: 69

50/1

Six-race maiden, out of form in a couple of spins on the AW at Dundalk since joining new connections. Others more appealing on the balance of efforts towards the end of last season.

Form: 243560-

Mutadarrib³¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Chris Hayes| T: K Prendergast| OR: 69

13/2

Cost €500,000 Kodiac yearling. Three-race maiden, well held at 1m, 1m3½f and when last seen over 1m5f at Leopardstown in August. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 054-

Nostra Casa⁴⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Andrew Slattery⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Weld| OR: 69

6/1

Colt by Dubawi out of a Danehill mare and a half-brother to Forgotten Rules and Listed winner Vintage Nouveau. Will have disappointed connections in three poor efforts in April/May last year. Needs more on handicap debut.

Form: 009-

Broken Ice²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 68

12/1

Well held and never nearer in four career starts between August and October last year for trainer Richard Brabazon. Improvement needed but could be a lively outsider on handicap debut for new connections.

Futurum Regem¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: H P Finegan| OR: 68

33/1

Hasn't sparkled in three Flat maidens on turf at up to 1m5f last summer. Not the most reliable of sorts and others hold stronger claims on handicap debut.

Form: 068-

Midnight Wilde¹³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: C D Maxwell⁽³⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 68

18/1

Useful staying handicapper on the Flat when with John Ryan. Winner of two of his 17 starts on turf, hitting the frame on a further five occasions. Racing 12lb lower than last winning mark and hard to make a case for in this contest.

War Eagle^p²³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: P F O'Donnell| OR: 66

33/1

Eight-race maiden on turf, out of luck for trainers John Gosden and Ian Williams. Handicap mark continues to fall but hard to be confident at present.

Romantically^p¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 65

12/1

Off the mark for connections at the seventh time of asking on her third visit to Dundalk on the AW when landing a 6K handicap over 2m in December off a 6lb lower mark. Yet to hit the frame in four starts on turf and others preferred.

Form: 00641-0

Universal Focus^b²¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 65| D

25/1

Winner of three of his 37 starts on turf, hitting the frame on a further 10 occasions. Well held in a couple of starts at Navan and the Curragh off his current mark, so may have reached his level.

ROYAL ADMIRAL has been running well in defeat in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk over the winter and is likely to benefit from his recent run at Navan and the step up in trip. Universal Focus can run a big race back on this surface, winner over a similar trip at Down Royal in August, while For Your Eyes, has a number of conditions to suit on stable debut and Romatically for trainer Willie McCreery look capable of hitting the frame in this competitive contest.
