Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Hogan| OR: 70

16/1

Maiden winner over 1m last year in France. Hasn't made much impact in handicaps for present trainer this season but has tumbled in the weights. Cheekpieces back on.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: R P Burns| OR: 70| C| D

22/1

Got back to winning ways at Tipperary in October when trained by Joseph G. Murphy. Little encouragement in 5 outings for current yard this season but now 12 lb below that last successful mark and took a C&D handicap at this meeting in 2024. New headgear tried.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: K Smith| OR: 70

13/2

Resumed winning ways at Limerick (1m) last month and went close at Gowran 2 days later. Still not got many miles on the clock and one to consider.

Form: 1-54013

San Aer^t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Donagh O'Connor| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 70| C

11/4

Dual C&D winner on heavy, his latest victory coming back in October 2023. Turned in his best effort of the season after 9 weeks off at Killarney a fortnight ago, putting in some eyecatching late headway. Interesting if building on that.

Form: 2-90005

(3)

Bay Of Dreams²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Ben Coen| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 69

7/1

Two wins in Britain for James Ferguson last year and back in top form for new yard, landing 1m Bellewstown handicap earlier this month, beating Bucaneer's Spirit by 1¾ lengths. Can go well again after 8 lb rise.

Form: 2-00931

Cala Bonita^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 69

28/1

Won 3 times in 2025, including twice in cheekpieces on all-weather. Not so good in 2 runs since an encouraging comeback at Gowran and needs the marked drop in trip to spark her back into action.

Form: 118-484

Faoladh^p1,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 68

33/1

Scored at Down Royal in May but has quickly gone off the boil, well beaten again at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces added to tongue strap now.

Finsceal Annie^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 68

25/1

Yet to fire this season but now below her last winning mark (scored twice in a week at Leopardstown last summer). Could bounce back.

Form: 26-0088

Kitty Bear¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jimmy Dalton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 68

33/1

Successful 3 times this year. Tends to race freely (pulled too hard at Dundalk last time) but current mark probably not beyond her.

Form: 171088

Lady Arwen⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Lee| T: C O'Dwyer| OR: 68

12/1

Was on a long losing run but has won 2 of her last 4, coming in for a well-judged ride by this pilot at Ballinrobe last week, beating Elusive Duke by 1¼ lengths. Plenty of good efforts at this track to her name and one to take seriously despite a high draw.

Form: 001601

Loingseoir^t⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: J Cleary⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Grassick| OR: 68

11/1

Arrives in good form, making the frame for the third time this season when fourth behind a couple of these at Ballinrobe last week. Gone well here in the past and not dismissed.

Rhythm King²⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 68| C

15/2

Out of sorts as last season ended but 10 lb below his last successful mark and has won both at this track and when fresh. Interesting.

Bucaneer's Spirit^t,v1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 67

14/1

Successful on return at Cork (1m) in April and plenty of good efforts since, including when chasing home Bay of Dreams at Bellewstown 2 runs back. Not so good behind Lady Arwen at Ballinrobe last week, though. New headgear goes on.

Form: 633429

Liberate^p1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 66

11/1

Won at Goodwood in spring 2025 for James Horton. Back in good form in stronger 1m handicaps at the Curragh the last twice and on a tempting mark. Cheekpieces go on and one to consider despite high draw.

Form: 9-09055

Moyassr^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Luke McAteer| T: P W Flynn| OR: 66

33/1

Good record at Dundalk (2 more wins in January) and struck at Fairyhouse in May. Stretched by 14.4f at Killarney last time (also lost a shoe) and this is more suitable.

Form: 005156

(17)

Queen Aethelflaed^t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Orla Tynan⁽⁷⁾| T: A Slattery| OR: 65

18/1

Raced wide with no cover when disappointing at Fairyhouse last time and had previously been in good form, winning at Gowran and shaping well at Leopardstown. Possibilities.

Elusive Duke⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Wesley Joyce⁽³⁾| T: M A Molloy| OR: 65| BF| D

6/1

Leopardstown winner last summer before shaping well in a handicap at this meeting starting out for new yard. Bounced back to his best fitted with cheekpieces when finding just Lady Arwen too good at Ballinrobe last week and in the hunt if he gets a run. RESERVE.

Forecasts

San Aer (11/4), Elusive Duke (6/1), Java Wood (13/2), Bay Of Dreams (7/1), Rhythm King (15/2), Showyoutheropes (8/1), Loingseoir (11/1), Liberate (11/1), Minaun View (11/1), Lady Arwen (12/1), Bucaneer's Spirit (14/1), Dark Summit (16/1), Ballymagreehan (16/1), Queen Aethelflaed (18/1), Blues Emperor (20/1), Grey Leader (22/1), Finsceal Annie (25/1), Cala Bonita (28/1), Kitty Bear (33/1), Faoladh (33/1), Moyassr (33/1)

Denis Hogan has won this handicap a couple of times in recent years and his LIBERATE looks interesting fitted with headgear on the back of a couple of good runs in stronger races at the Curragh. The returning Rhythm King is a very interesting alternative, with Bay of Dreams and Lady Arwen also considered.
