Verhoyen^p¹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 60

33/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 20/1) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Should find this test much more suitable and Billy Lee rides.

Form: 0690-00

Kitty Bear¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 59| C| D

8/1

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (7f, soft) 13 days ago by 3 lengths from Majestic King. Paid for it with an 8 lb rise and perhaps not an obvious one to follow up.

Shahada Ace¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 58

22/1

Respectable ninth of 18 in handicap (17/2) at Cork (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago. Being eased another 2 lb can only help.

Form: 3418-69

Skib Gold²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Paddy Harnett⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Byrne| OR: 58| C

14/1

Course winner. Below form when eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (9.6f, soft) on reappearance 26 days ago but should be sharper for the outing.

Form: 01204-8

Majestic King¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 57

4/6

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable 3 lengths second of 14 to Kitty Bear 7f course handicap debut (7f, soft, 11/1) 13 days ago, best work finish. This slightly longer trip could suit and this unexposed sort is high on the list.

Form: 8-802

Staywitherjohnny²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 57

25/1

Modest maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, soft) on reappearance 20 days ago. May come on for the run.

Form: 48709-6

Ballymagreehan⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 56| D

18/1

In good form on Dundalk's all-weather in 2025 but his 2 efforts there in January were no better than respectable. Freshened up ahead of this return to turf.

Form: 3233-76

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Coen| T: P T Foley| OR: 54| D

13/2

Good second of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 12 days ago, running on. This turf winner has to enter calculations back on the grass.

Form: 4016-02

Can I Kiss You²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamie Heffernan| T: J M Barrett| OR: 51

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 49

33/1

One win from 25 starts and that was back in 2024. Off 6 months. Others are more obvious.

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Mel Sheridan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 47| CD

Hale Bopp¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Chris Hayes| T: R Donohoe| OR: 40| D

18/1

Thirty runs since last win in 2023. Respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago, never nearer.

Form: 4-54006

Half Nutz¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: E E Ryan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Barcoe| OR: 40

40/1

Unreliable type. Forty two runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, 10 lengths eighth of 14 to Kitty Bear in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Denis Hogan's MAJESTIC KING gets the nod to build on his promising handicap debut second to the reopposing Kitty Bear over 7f here recently, with today's step up to 1m likely to be in his favour. Famous Enough went close at Dundalk last time and is second choice ahead of Verhoyen, who is at the veteran stage now but could still have a bit of class for this grade and Billy Lee takes the reins.
