Off time: 20:30 | Winning time: 2m 35.70s

(1)

Poetic Sound²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Lyons| OR: 94| D

13/2

Useful form last spring but he ended 2025 below par, just sixth in conditions event at the Curragh (1½m) in October. Weighted to go well however if rejuvenated after a layoff.

Form: 1/23706-

Touch The Moon¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Georgie Benson⁽⁷⁾| T: W Durkan| OR: 90

9/4

Useful on the Flat for George Scott in 2025. Fairly useful over hurdles for his current yard so not discounted back in this sphere after a layoff.

Form: 13038-1

(9)

Jabbar^p⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Siobhan Rutledge| T: Gerard O'Leary| OR: 89| D

14/1

Multiple winner on Flat who hasn't been disgraced over hurdles over the winter. Blinkered when a below-form seventh of 11 in handicap at Navan (1¾m) 46 days ago though and cheekpieces are retried now.

Form: 65206-7

(5)

Star Harbour^v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Gabriella Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 87| D

7/1

Nineteen runs since his last win in 2024 and only fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Cork (1½m) 12 days ago.

Form: 237-650

(4)

The Real Screamer¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Sadhbh Tormey⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn| OR: 83

10/1

2/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Dundalk. Scored cosily there so not out of things despite an 8lb weights hike.

Form: 44144-1

(6)

Nakasero^t¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Ms P R Briselden⁽⁷⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 81| C

28/1

Course winner but he came in last of 8 in conditions event at Dundalk (1½m) 105 days ago. More is needed after a break.

Form: 1027-28

(3)

Autumn Twist^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ms J I Stokes⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 75

11/1

Respectable sixth of 21 over hurdles at Punchestown 17 days ago. A fairly useful Flat winner so needs considering returned to this sphere.

Form: 80183-5

(2)

Drucker²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 73| D

5/1

Resumed his progress with success in 10-runner handicap at Dundalk (1½m) 22 days ago. Needs to show he's as effective on turf now.

Form: 26-1341

(10)

Soaring Sun¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 73| D

17/2

9/4, career best when winning 9-runner maiden at Dundalk (1½m) in January. Remains quite lightly raced and can make his presence felt back in handicap company.

Form: 50323-1

(7)

Derry Lad³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Jessica O'Gorman⁽⁷⁾| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 70| D

12/1

Seventeen runs since his last win in 2023 and he came in last of 12 in handicap here (1¼m) 30 days ago.

Form: 460-990

Forecasts

Touch The Moon (9/4), Drucker (5/1), Poetic Sound (13/2), Star Harbour (7/1), Soaring Sun (17/2), The Real Screamer (10/1), Autumn Twist (11/1), Derry Lad (12/1), Jabbar (14/1), Nakasero (28/1)

Marginal preference in this wide-open handicap is for POETIC SOUND who was in excellent form last spring and returns on a handy-looking mark after an underwhelming end to 2025. Soaring Sun has an absence to overcome but is feared most on the back of a Dundalk victory ahead of Autumn Twist and Touch The Moon.
