Dawn Rising^t¹⁷⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Gary Halpin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 102| C

25/1

Useful stayer who won a Curragh Group 3 in 2024 and ended last season in good form, finishing a very good second in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2¼m) in October. Raised 5 lb on the back of that which makes things tougher but respected nevertheless.

Form: 600452-

Taipan^p¹⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 97| D

14/1

Landed another small field conditions event at Galway (1¾m) last summer. Excuses next start prior to underperforming in amateur riders Derby at the Curragh in October. Record fresh is a positive ahead of this and stable landed this 12 months ago.

Kizlyar^t⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94| D

17/2

Progressive 1¾m winner in France who posted fair efforts in a trio of juvenile hurdles upon joining new yard this winter. Appeals as the type to do better again now handicapping in this sphere.

Jabbar^b1¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Siobhan Rutledge⁽³⁾| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 92| D

7/1

Multiple winner on Flat who hasn't been disgraced over hurdles in recent months, albeit looking no more than averagely treated when fourth at Wexford (2m) a couple of weeks ago. Each-way claims back on the level with blinkers fitted.

Star Harbour^v¹⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Gabriella Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 91| C

40/1

Three-time winner in 2024 who ended last season with a trio of respectable efforts at Dundalk. Handicapper has eased his grip ahead of return to action but others appeal more for win purposes.

What's Your Game⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Robson Aguiar| OR: 92

20/1

Won on handicap debut at Cork (1½m) and ran well when second in listed company next time. However, seen only twice since, shaping as if better for the run after 8 months off when fifth at Dundalk (2m) last month. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 52126-5

Galileo Dame³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 90| C

3/1

Failed to fire in 3 Flat runs during the autumn but perked up by a return to hurdling, justifying cramped odds when easily landing 10-runner mares maiden here 4 weeks ago. Task is to back that up returned to this sphere.

Form: 622/000-

Mordor¹⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: G Elliott| OR: 87| D

10/1

Useful dual-purpose performer who scored at Killarney (2m) in May. Unplaced on 2 of 3 starts thereafter, finding the trip stretching him when down the field in Cesarewitch at Newmarket on final start. This rates a more suitable test on seasonal bow.

Form: 310220-

Dippedinmoonlight⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Carroll| T: E Mullins| OR: 86| CD

11/4

Fair form when successful on second of 3 starts in bumper and made it second time lucky in this sphere when landing a C&D maiden in October. Showed plenty over hurdles more recently, running out of steam late on when fifth at Leopardstown (3m, heavy) 56 days ago. Interesting back on the level.

Form: 81-

(5)

Navy Waters^v¹⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 85

9/2

Fairly useful filly who doubled career tally at Down Royal (13f) in September. Lost race in stewards' room at Leopardstown prior to finding listed company too much at the Curragh on final outing. Could resume progress back in handicaps.

Form: 7631D8-

Weston¹⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: H Rogers| OR: 80

28/1

Winner at up to 1ff in Germany in 2022 but yet to get his head in front for present stable and out of sorts on Flat/over hurdles when last seen.

Form: 06/0300-

Forecasts

Dippedinmoonlight (11/4), Galileo Dame (3/1), Navy Waters (9/2), Jabbar (7/1), Zoffman (7/1), Kizlyar (17/2), Mordor (10/1), Taipan (14/1), What's Your Game (20/1), Dawn Rising (25/1), Weston (28/1), Star Harbour (40/1)

Progressive in a light career on the Flat in France, KIZLYAR has showed fair form in juvenile hurdles upon joining Joseph O'Brien this winter. He appeals as the type to go on improving now handicapping back in this sphere and could be worth chancing before market clues. Taipan, Zoffman and Dippedinmoonlight complete the shortlist.
