- Jack Kearney / D Hogan

63
|
6/1 |
Church Mountain
8-63 under rules (3-15 on AW) and drops into this lower grade following a positive third over 1m4f here last month; that was a return to form and player if repeating it.

Jazz Forever
Hasn't beaten a rival since returning from a break with two runs here at 1m4f/1m2f; best watched.

Thompson Gunner
Maiden but beaten just a nose off 65 here in September 2024 over 1m; recent runs here are cause for encouragement as well, less than 1l behind winner over C&D in November before a close fourth when well backed next time; hampered at a crucial stage over 1m here last month; blinkers replace the visor worn on that occasion and return to this trip can help.

Barretstown
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; struggled in turf runs last year before coming good returned here in September; couldn't repeat the dose last time; in the mix if bringing his best but wide draw.

- Captain Hanley
- Killian Leonard / E O'connell

15/2 |
Captain Hanley
0-13 under rules but it was a positive effort over 1m4f here last time when taking fourth despite being hampered repeatedly up the straight by Waystar; down 2lb and capable of winning one of these.

Nibras Rainbow
Bagged his fourth career win (second on AW) over C&D in November off 51 despite a wide draw; 1m4f likely stretched him last time when well beaten; can go well.

- Rising Sky
- Declan Mcdonogh / A Mccann

12/1 |
Rising Sky
Consistent if limited maiden; not a bad run over C&D five weeks ago, when keeping on again after meeting trouble; not ruled out with a clearer passage.

Givehertilxmas
No wins from nine and two runs here have been unremarkable; down 4lb following 4l sixth of 14 here last time (7f); others preferred.

9/2 |
Storm Eric
Three-time course winner at 7f/1m; completely out of sorts in the second half of 2025 but started this year with a solid effort when running on and taking the third spot despite a wide draw in first-time blinkers over 1m; better draw now, but blinkers left off.

Guest Star
Winner of a C&D claimer last January hasn't looked like adding to his tally in recent Flat and hurdle starts; makes stable debut now.

- Adam Grant / J C Mcconnell

11/1 |
Waystar
Sole win came here over 1m4f in March off 49; recent form underwhelming, but her latest run gives reasons to be hopeful after she took the runner-up spot here over 1m4f at 50-1 (drifting right up the straight); needs to build on that.

Harbanaker
Four-time winner split evenly between turf and AW; latest win came at Leopardstown in April off 1lb higher (1m1f, good); slowly away and always behind back from a break here last month (1m2f); cheekpieces are added to the tongue-tie now.

- Haeret In Pectore
- Rory Cleary / A J Martin

15/2 |
Haeret In Pectore
7f winner in Poland in 2024; poor form on turf in first three Irish starts; some encouragement can be taken from his AW debut last month, when keeping on for fifth over 7f.
|

|
- Yquem
- Rory Mulligan / John O'donoghue

|
22/1 |
Yquem
Weak form in maidens and switch to handicaps in last two runs hasn't helped; no impact at Ffos Las nor on switch to this surface over 1m last month; cheekpieces are tried now.

20/1 |
Si Senior
First reserve; not at her best since 1m2f Ballinrobe win last June and a switch of yards hasn't brought improvement; well beaten in both starts for her new trainer around here at 7f/1m.

- Boyne Valley

16/1 |
Boyne Valley
Second reserve; just one win from 22 starts, but ran well here in December over 1m2f on just his third AW start when chasing home a rank outsider; below that level when over 7l behind in sixth four days ago over 1m.
|
|

- Methgal
- Reserve 3 / P J F Murphy
|
|

|
16/1 |
Methgal
Third reserve; ridden handily over 1m here four days ago to take fourth of 14; that was his best effort to date, with his previous nine runs offering only slight encouragement.
