Nancy J²⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 88

25/1

Yet to add to 2-y-o debut success and probably worth taking on back from an 8-month absence on debut for new connections.

Form: 5/85583-

Sarahmae¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 85| C

33/1

Won 3 times last year, including over 5f at this course last summer, but suffered a heavy defeat on recent C&D reappearance and she may need more time before coming to the boil.

Form: 18046-8

(16)

Varshini^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J A Stack| OR: 85| BF

12/1

Winner of a 7f Gowran maiden on reappearance last spring but she's found things tougher since and hopes here pinned on first-time cheekpieces helping to eke out a bit more.

Form: 85056-0

Staysound Susie⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 83| C| D

11/4

Resumed winning ways when landing a heavy-ground 5f handicap here in November. Stepped up on reappearance effort when third of 14 (again over 5f here) recently and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 4391-53

(15)

Gloriously Glam^p¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 82| D

33/1

Bagged a Gowran claimer and handicap at Navan last year. However, she ended that campaign on a low-key note and is entitled to come on for the run.

Form: 021789-

(2)

Likedbymike¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: M J Byrne| OR: 79

7/1

Cork maiden winner at 2 yrs and twice went close in sprint handicaps off similar marks during the autumn. Ended 2025 with a couple of not-so-good efforts but will be a threat if on-song.

Form: 502307-

(13)

Rion Rubette¹⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M Butler| OR: 79

28/1

Successful at Limerick last summer but rather hit-and-miss thereafter and she's probably worth taking on back from a break here.

Form: 125847-

(6)

Josh's Joy¹⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 86| D

10/3

Placed first 3 starts in 2-y-o maiden before winning one at Naas (6f) when last seen in October. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and she's one to consider.

Form: 3231-

(1)

Glory To Be^p¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Lordan| T: M C Grassick| OR: 71

16/1

Landed a 9-runner maiden at Navan (5f) in October, suited by way race developed. Failed to land a blow on subsequent handicap bow here on final start of 2025, though, and she's probably worth taking on.

Form: 242310-

(11)

Asdana^v¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: W McCreery| OR: 70

18/1

Winner at Cork last summer and, though below par next 2 starts, she wound up 2025 campaign by finishing 1¼ lengths second to Staysound Susie over 5f here in November. Merits respect.

Form: 341002-

(4)

Aurora Nova¹⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: A McNamara| OR: 69| D

33/1

This mark is a workable one but record at this course stands at 0-6 having finished down the field in a 16-runner handicap here on her final start of last season.

Form: 935069-

(3)

Oh Cecelia^h¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Jamie Powell| T: K J Condon| OR: 79

9/1

Ended time for Jack Davison in fairly tame fashion during the winter but firmly back on track for new yard when landing a big-field Naas handicap (5f) 12 days ago. Up 7 lb.

Form: 5636-61

(10)

Bint Majestic Roi⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 64

12/1

Belied odds of 50/1 when opening her account in 1m Dundalk handicap in December. Performed with credit when fifth of 12 over the same C&D next time but couldn't be sure that this drop to 6f is what she wants.

Form: 88901-5

(14)

Goofy Gander^h¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 74

28/1

Hinted at ability in a trio of maidens at 2 yrs and while a significant step forward will be needed on this return/handicap debut, she needs a close look in the betting given the connections she represents.

Form: 507-

(7)

Reimagined^h1¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Crosse| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 74| D

33/1

Stepped up on 2-y-o debut when winning a 6f Windsor novice for Eve Johnson Houghton last summer but nearer last than first both subsequent starts. Hood enlisted for this stable debut.

Form: 7109-

(12)

Tai Tam Bay¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Chris Hayes| T: E & P Harty| OR: 62| D

7/1

Sole win from 27 runs was gained at Naas almost 2 years ago but she has finished in the money on several occasions since. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 443-425

Forecasts

Staysound Susie (11/4), Josh's Joy (10/3), Likedbymike (7/1), Tai Tam Bay (7/1), Oh Cecelia (9/1), Varshini (12/1), Bint Majestic Roi (12/1), Glory To Be (16/1), Asdana (18/1), Nancy J (25/1), Rion Rubette (28/1), Goofy Gander (28/1), Reimagined (33/1), Aurora Nova (33/1), Sarahmae (33/1), Gloriously Glam (33/1)

It could be worth siding with LIKEDBYMIKE, who was probably unsuited by the testing conditions when seventh in the 5f handicap won by Staysound Susie here at the end of last season. She enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival and is likely to represent some value. Staysound Susie is nevertheless greatly respected on the back of another good effort at this course recently, while Asdana, who was second to Andrew Slattery's charge here in November, also needs considering.
