5/1

Broke duck when won 13-runner handicap at Dundalk on final outing for P. J. F. Murphy in January. Ran just respectably on debut for this yard and with headgear removed when mid-division at Limerick last month, though, and will need to be at his very best to figure.

Rampage^t,v²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Cian Fahy⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T G McCourt| OR: 57| BF| D

8/1

Yet to fire in 4 starts this season but has fallen in the weights as a result and is now below the mark from which he gained 3 of his 4 previous wins. A single-figure draw is a plus, and his Leopardstown effort on his penultimate start suggested he may be working his way back to form.

Form: 30-7086

Chipsrdown^v1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 56

14/1

Kodi Bear filly who was placed once in 3 maiden starts but has failed to kick on in handicaps this year, her best effort coming when 4¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Exceeding at Leopardstown in April. Wears a first-time visor.

Form: 003-50

Staywitherjohnny¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 56

6/1

Modest maiden who returned to form when 4¼ lengths third of 15 to Majestic King over C&D 15 days ago. Wide draw far from ideal but a repeat of that effort will see her in the mix.

Form: 8709-63

Ballymagreehan¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Luke McAteer| T: D Marnane| OR: 55| D

4/1

Dundalk regular who appeared to go off the boil towards the end of 2025. Ran poorly over C&D on return from 3-month break last time and has still to prove himself anywhere near as effective on turf as he is on polytrack.

Form: 233-760

Son Of Wind^h⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 55

100/1

A winner on polytrack for previous connections but has shown nothing in 2 starts for current yard. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 5885-09

Just Another Eagle¹⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Robyn Donaghue-Leahy⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 51

33/1

Lightly raced in 2025 but posted a good effort when second of 23 in 1¾m handicap at Navan in October. Slipped up at Dundalk following month and now significantly down in trip on return after 187-days off.

Form: 19/642S-

Hastily¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom McGuinness| OR: 48

66/1

Won at Cork in July but signed off 2025 with a pair of below-par efforts and didn't shape with much encouragement on return from 7-month break at Bellewstown 11 days ago.

Form: 10209-0

Alto Sax^b³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 45| D

11/4

Ended a lengthy losing run when edging a 1m Dundalk handicap last month and shaped as if still in top form when 2¾ lengths fifth of 20 to Launch Time at Leopardstown last time, left poorly placed after missing the break. Low draw helps and sure to make a bold bid if breaking on terms.

Bright Image^t⁷⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Rory Cleary| T: C P Donoghue| OR: 41

33/1

Maiden who ought to stay this far but is hard to make a case for after an absence of over 2 years.

River Derwent^b⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: James Ryan| T: Thomas Coyle| OR: 41| D

28/1

Unreliable sort now 2 years without a win and arriving on the back of 3 poor efforts, including when 8½ lengths fourth of 14 to Kitty Bear at Roscommon on latest.

Form: 3-44004

Al Rojo Vivo⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Mrs M Whelehan| OR: 40

66/1

Has shown little over a wide variety of trips. Racing much too freely when well beaten in 1½m handicap at Roscommon on return 9 days ago.

Form: 08/080-0

Half Nutz¹⁵

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

20/1

Veteran who was bordering on useful in his pomp but is a shadow of his former self these days.

Form: 07-7085

Master Garvey^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Declan McDonogh| T: Joseph Murray| OR: 40| D

12/1

Modest sort whose best recent effort came when 3¾ lengths third of 11 to Alto Sax at Dundalk in April. Has been well below that level on both starts since, though, and a minor placing may be the best he can hope for again.

Form: 0-45387

Oreeda²⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Mr Ghulam Abbas⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Flynn| OR: 40

50/1

Poor maiden that hasn't made much of an impact in 3 handicap starts, though wasn't seen to best effort when mid-field at Tipperary on latest, stumbling badly around halfway. Has plenty to prove returning from a near 9-month absence.

Form: 0/00008-

Winless since September 2023 and seemingly going through the motions in recent months. RESERVE.

Forecasts

Alto Sax (11/4), Ballymagreehan (4/1), Mythical Rock (5/1), Staywitherjohnny (6/1), Hale Bopp (15/2), Rampage (8/1), Master Garvey (12/1), Chipsrdown (14/1), Half Nutz (20/1), Roderick (20/1), River Derwent (28/1), Bright Image (33/1), Just Another Eagle (33/1), Oreeda (50/1), Al Rojo Vivo (66/1), Hastily (66/1), Son Of Wind (100/1)

RAMPAGE's recent form figures are not immediately inspiring but there was encouragement to be taken from his Leopardstown effort last month and he is fancied to capitalise on his reduced mark here. Recent Dundalk winner Alto Sax is likely to provide the chief threat ahead of Staywitherjohnny and Master Garvey.
