Erosandpsyche¹⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Damien Melia⁽⁷⁾| T: Daniel Murphy| OR: 103| D

33/1

Well down the field in the C&D Flying Five Stakes (good to soft) when last seen in September. Sights now lowered but winning this handicap off his present mark will not be easy.

Keke^t¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: James Ryan| T: E Lynam| OR: 98| BF| CD

22/1

Multiple winner of sprint handicaps at this course, the latest gained off 5 lb lower last summer. Shade below par in C&D race won by Gazelle d'Or on final start of 2025 but will be a threat if on song. One of 3 representatives from the Edward Lynam yard.

Tolebi¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Shane Foley| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 95

50/1

Saint-Cloud maiden winner last spring for Andrea Fabre before twice making the frame in listed company. However, well held final 2 starts of 2025 and opposable on handicap debut/first run for new connections (changed hands for €10,000).

Form: 3/14300-

Go Athletico^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 88| C| D

33/1

Capable when in the mood, as he demonstrated when getting on top close home in a major handicap here last summer. However, he was more miss than hit in 2025 and his recent reappearance display was hardly inspiring.

Form: 17057-7

Stag Night¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 88| C| D

9/2

Third in this race off a 5 lb higher mark 12 months ago and went on to score at Naas during the autumn. Reappearance third back here (6f, heavy) behind Dmaniac 13 days ago was encouraging and this drop back to the minimum trip should help.

Form: 63715-3

Bodhi Bear¹⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 87| D

8/1

Promising at 2 yrs and made a winning reappearance in a 5f Cork minor event last spring. Largely disappointing thereafter but gelded since latest start in September and he's one to note in the betting for last year's winning yard.

Form: 1/14090-

Dmaniac¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M Hassett| OR: 87| C

9/4

Off the mark in a 6f handicap here on final start of last season and took another step forward when following up on his return, again here, 13 days ago. Likely to cope with the drop back to 5f and, though up 7 lb for his latest success, he's a major player.

Form: 92931-1

Heavenly Power¹⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Coen| T: E Lynam| OR: 87| C

16/1

Won twice in 2024 (including here) and posted several creditable efforts in defeat last term. However, he looked in need of the run when making his seasonal reappearance in this race 12 months ago and it could be a similar story this time round.

Form: 420297-

(15)

Nezeeh^b¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 87| C| D

50/1

Won twice at 5f last year but he's not the most consistent and ended 2025 on a downer.

Form: 191069-

Sommelier³⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Gavin Ryan| T: K P Cotter| OR: 84

50/1

Runner-up in listed company for Marco Botti during his 3-y-o campaign but didn't show much in a couple of appearances last spring. Probably best watched starting out for new yard following a 10-month absence.

Form: 488/000-

(10)

Staysound Susie^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 82| CD

9/1

Resumed winning ways when landing a heavy-ground C&D handicap in November. Left with too much to do on return here in the race won by Dmaniac 13 days ago and should be more competitive this time.

Form: 04391-5

(5)

Airspeed¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Nathan Crosse| T: E Lynam| OR: 81| D

14/1

Successful at 2 yrs for Karl Burke and gradually worked his way back to form for new connections last term, finishing third in the C&D handicaps won by Gazelle d'Or and Staysound Susie on final 2 starts of that campaign. Each-way shout if ready to roll.

Form: 27/0533-

Smoke Them Out¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 79| C

13/2

Snapped a losing run over 6f here in October and looked better than ever when scoring back at this course (again over 6f) on recent seasonal reappearance. Should give another good account, albeit this 4 lb higher mark demands more.

Form: 49186-1

Magical Vision⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: A A Howard| OR: 71| CD

11/2

C&D winner a couple of years ago and while she struggled in this race on sole start in 2025, there were positives to take from her recent reappearance spin at Naas. It's a big ask for her to win this from 8 lb out of the handicap, though.

Forecasts

Dmaniac (9/4), Stag Night (9/2), Magical Vision (11/2), Smoke Them Out (13/2), Bodhi Bear (8/1), Staysound Susie (9/1), Gazelle D'or (12/1), Airspeed (14/1), Heavenly Power (16/1), Keke (22/1), Erosandpsyche (33/1), Go Athletico (33/1), Sommelier (50/1), Tolebi (50/1), Nezeeh (50/1)

The vote goes to DMANIAC, who is a sprinter very much on the up judged on his decisive reappearance success over 6f here recently. He possesses the requisite pace to cope with this drop back to the minimum trip and again has the assistance of Wayne Lordan. Stag Night and Staysound Susie, third and fifth respectively in that handicap won by Dmaniac, are both entitled to finish closer to Martin Hassett's charge this time, while Keke should also make his presence felt.
