13/8

Comment: Dual bumper winner got off the mark on the Flat in a 1m5f Down Royal maiden before a cracking handicap run over a similar trip to this at Galway; up another 4lb but has to be taken seriously.

Comment: Useful dual-purpose sort ran a solid fourth on the Flat at Killarney in May; won over fences at Galway last time after being unplaced in the Plate earlier in the week; should run well.

3/1

Comment: Won on the Flat on 2yo debut but no win since though some good efforts last autumn; a close third in a valuable handicap hurdle at Galway last time and should run well if transferring that back to this sphere.

Comment: Dual-purpose sort scored the eighth win of his career in this race last year off today's mark; has been hit and miss since but can't be ignored with first-time blinkers.

Comment: Four-time Flat winner has also won over hurdles; won over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July but has been below that level since off this mark and has to rebound.

20/1

Comment: Six Flat wins including at this course; last win was in the valuable Leopardstown October Handicap in 2024; some decent efforts in defeat this term but not so good in this sphere and over hurdles lately; needs a return to form.

25/1

Comment: Winner on the Flat, over hurdles and fences; was fourth in this race last year off a 3lb higher mark; however, was poor on the Flat and over hurdles lately so has to rebound.

Takarengo

Jockey: Ms M Barcoe Trainer: James M Barcoe Age/Wt: 9/10-9 F: 3/7882 OR: 62

28/1

Comment: Is just 4-74 under all rules but has been placed plenty of times; the latest when a 1l runner-up over 2m at Tramore last time; up 2lb but a repeat should see him run well.

Molly Hall

Jockey: Mr C J Shine Trainer: Alan McIntyre Age/Wt: 7/11-12 F: 2-1100 OR: 79

Comment: Shot up the handicap for two early season wins and has been well below that level the last twice; has to rebound in a big way.
