Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Lee| T: T Doyle

28/1

Speedily bred and offered something to work on behind a pair of improvers when third of 19 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 100/1) on debut back in 2024. Has 16-month absence to overcome but she's still open to improvement.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rory Mulligan⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Coogan

250/1

Offered little encouragement first time up when last of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Apothic Red¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Ryan| T: T G McCourt

125/1

Bit of promise over 7f on debut in September, but seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifteenth of 16 in maiden over C&D (soft, 80/1) later same month. Will be of more appeal once handicapping.

Form: 70-

Breaking Dawn^p1¹⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan

2/1

Ran to a fair level when making the frame both starts last autumn, fourth of 8 in maiden at Naas (soft, 9/2) when last seen in October. Enters calculations as he drops back in trip with cheekpieces tried.

Form: 44-

Cantilever²³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack

10/1

Made plenty of appeal on paper but seemed to lack sharpness when tenth of 17 in maiden at Naas (28/1) on debut last summer. Returns from 7 months off.

Contrary To Law^h1²³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh

5/2

Some encouragement on debut last summer, before doing too much too soon when fourth of 8 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft, 14/1). Off 7 months ahead of first run for new yard and looks worth a try at this trip with hood added.

Form: 94-

Dubai Opulence^h1¹⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: N Lupini

28/1

Looked to have been brought along gradually last year, ninth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft, 25/1) on second outing in October. Gelded and tried in hood for his reappearance.

Fate's Gambit³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: Robson Aguiar| BF

8/1

Encouraging second in a Dundalk maiden (7f) on debut, before possibly finding the race coming too soon 2 weeks later when fifth of 6 in minor event (11/10) at the same C&D last month. Respected given more time ahead of this race.

Form: 25

Glen Breeze⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee

125/1

Has finished well held both starts so far, returning from 7-months absence when seventh of 9 in claimer at Dundalk (7f, 22/1) 9 days ago. Bred to stay at least 1m.

Form: 0-7

Keogie

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam Caffrey| T: N Meade

16/1

€6,500 foal, €21,000 yearling, Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Decorated Knight. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, also won over hurdles. Watch for market clues.

Monmouth

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

7/2

Kingman colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner, sister to very smart 7f winner Gustav Klimt. Noteworthy newcomer for his leading connections.

Form:

(10)

New Divide

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Foley| T: C O'Brien

9/1

Starspangledbanner gelding. Dam 5f winner. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.

The Wee Man¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: M M McNiff

150/1

Ran to only a modest level on his first start when eighth of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 150/1) in October. Plenty more required on his return.

Form: 8-

Dreoilin¹⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J S Bolger

80/1

Well held on debut and fared little better when ninth of 13 in maiden at Navan (soft, 80/1) in October. Drops to sprinting and needs another run for a handicap mark.

Form: 89-

Hiltons Pass^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: John O'Donoghue

66/1

Raven's Pass filly. Sister to winner abroad. Dam once-raced half-sister to Irish St Leger winner Septimus. Wears hood. May be one for further down the line.

She's On The Ball²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Laura Hourigan

300/1

Very green when down the field on debut and, after 4 months off, made little impression on first run since leaving Clive Cox when thirteenth of 14 in 1m maiden at Dundalk (125/1) 23 days ago.

Forecasts

Breaking Dawn (2/1), Contrary To Law (5/2), Monmouth (7/2), Fate's Gambit (8/1), New Divide (9/1), Cantilever (10/1), Windsor Lily (14/1), Keogie (16/1), Aboveheronlysky (28/1), Dubai Opulence (28/1), Hiltons Pass (66/1), Dreoilin (80/1), Apothic Red (125/1), Glen Breeze (125/1), The Wee Man (150/1), Deirdreanme (250/1), She's On The Ball (300/1)

This could go to a newcomer, with the well-bred MONMOUTH catching the eye for Aidan O'Brien. He is taken to see off the challenge of Fate's Gambit, who is worth another chance to build on his debut promise now switched to turf, while Breaking Dawn could go well on his return.
