Juniper Sling¹⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 72

Form: 35360-

(11)

Trubshaw¹⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Gabriella Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 72| D

11/1

Showed improved form to gain a second win in 19-runner handicap at the Curragh (1¾m, soft, 11/1) in October, well on top finish. Obvious contender if picking up where he left off.

Form: 321641-

(3)

Daboya¹⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 71

14/1

Won 16-runner maiden hurdle (4/1) at Thurles (2m, good to soft) when last seen in November. Solid efforts in this sphere prior to that, so claims if ready to roll back from a break.

Form: 994165-

(15)

Granville Street⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick McGettigan⁽⁵⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 70

18/1

Well held over hurdles during the winter and enough to prove returning to this code.

Form: 4125/06-

(22)

God Of Thunder^p,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 69

16/1

Form: 47-9709

(8)

Kool One^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: James Ryan| T: Conor Maxwell| OR: 69| C

11/2

Has been consistent on the Flat since competing at 1½m+ and ran right up to his best in a first-time tongue strap after 4 months off when fifth of 12 in 1¾m handicap at this course (1¾m, heavy, 4/1) 26 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Form: 31/014-5

(7)

Radar Ahead¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Adam Caffrey| T: T G McCourt| OR: 69

66/1

Possibly needed the run when down the field in 11f handicap (12/1) at Bellewstown (soft) on reappearance 14 days ago, eased. Mark looks fair based on some of his form in maiden company.

Form: 4/6364-0

(5)

Goin'⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Martin| OR: 68

33/1

Form: 600035-

(6)

Earthsong²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 67

11/2

Made a perfectly encouraging return when fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (1¾m, heavy) 26 days ago and remains of interest given her lightly-raced profile.

Form: 68739-4

(21)

Miss Gitana²⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 67

40/1

Bounced back to form to score at Tramore (2m) last July. Run best excused on her most recent outing over hurdles (kicked at start). Has left Gordon Elliott.

Form: 7/86916-

(23)

Rich Belief^b,t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: K Thornton| OR: 67| CD

33/1

C&D winner who possibly needed the run when sixth of 10 in handicap at Gowran (1¾m) on reappearance 17 days ago. One to consider with that run under his belt.

Form: 80728-6

(19)

Bruant¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Gary Carroll| T: A J Martin| OR: 66

28/1

Possibly needed the run 3 months on from a couple of hurdle starts when ninth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 50/1) 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 00000-9

(12)

Kakori^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J M Sheridan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 66

14/1

Fair maiden who can have a line put through her latest run at Bellewstown (1m, soft, 11/2) 14 days ago, badly hampered end of back straight. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 8765-09

(16)

Quiz Test¹⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ronan Whelan| T: S Byrne| OR: 65

15/2

Last win came in 2023 but ran well in first-time blinkers when 3½ lengths second of 19 to the reopposing Trubshaw in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (1¾m, soft) on final outing in October. Has gone well fresh before so he enters the reckoning.

Form: 550342-

(10)

Plunkett Street¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Coen| T: Michael W O'Meara| OR: 63| C

17/2

Course winner who shaped as if better for the run after 12 weeks off when seventh of 10 in 1¾m handicap at Gowran 17 days ago. Should be much closer to top form with that run under his belt.

Form: 24274-7

(9)

Celtic Druid¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 62

11/1

Has returned an improved performer, winning back-to-back 1½m Dundalk handicaps in recent months. Remains to be seen if he's able to transfer that improvement back to turf.

Form: 8557-11

(14)

God The Highness²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 61

11/1

Fair maiden in this sphere who was never better than mid-field on recent hurdling debut but that run should have blown the cobwebs away.

Form: 204636-

Arcland²⁰⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Robert Whearty| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 54| BF| CD

12/1

EARTHSONG made a perfectly encouraging reappearance at this course last month and is more interesting than most at this level given her lightly-raced profile, so she's put forward as the answer. God The Highness and Plunkett Street head the opposition.
