12th	1	2	Sea Eagle (G) Fairly useful sort who was in the process of showing improved form when unseating in a Tramore maiden hurdle in April, however, yet to prove he's stays this far on the Flat and isn't the most consist…	26U-	Danny O'Leary Gerard O'Leary	6	64.4kg	67 66/1
—	2	20	Quatre Bras (G) Hit-and-miss performer on turf in recent months and while it's hard to be confident from stall 20 given his slow-starting ways, the forecast strong pace is at least in his favour.	408844	Darragh O'Sullivan R O'Brien	5	63.5kg	17 16/1 Betfa… 13 Paddy… 13 Sky B… 11
—	3	18	Pillar Of Hope (G) Winner of this race 12 months ago (off 10 lb lower) but he arrives on the back of a season's best fourth (9f) at Leopardstown and has been given a chance by the handicapper.	4-88046	Patrick McGettigan P Sweeney	8	61.2kg	13 12/1 Paddy… 15 Betfa… 13 Sky B… 13
—	4	12	Cracking Cloud (G) Showed something like his debut form when sixth of 15 on qualifying run at Gowran (9.5f) and with the step up in trip (by Cracksman) and switch to a handicap expected to suit, he could make more of a…	356	Hugh Horgan R O'Sullivan	4	60.8kg	15 14/1 Sky B… 29 Paddy… 29 Betfa… 23
—	5	23	Kool One (G) T Fairly useful winner of a Navan handicap in April prior to shaping as though still in good form when sixth in a better race at this course (1¾m) last time. Draw could have been kinder, though.	U0/1P50-	Nicola Burns Conor Maxwell	5	60.3kg	17 16/1 Sky B… 13 Betfa… 13 Paddy… 13
8th	6	4	Granville Street (G) P Fairly useful dual-purpose performer who wasted no time getting back to form when fourth in a big-field handicap at Fairyhouse (1¾m, good to soft) on his latest start, without ever looking like winni…	06-2548	Sam Coen Ciaran Murphy	8	59.9kg	7.50 13/2
11th	7	3	Eastern Peace (F) Dundalk maiden winner who came from further back than the pair that beat her in a fillies handicap at Leopardstown (1¼m) last time. Longer trip no guarantee on pedigree but shapes as though it's with…	419-305	J Cleary R O'Sullivan	4	59.4kg	11 10/1
13th	8	14	Devine Genius (G) Lightly-raced maiden who was well beaten in testing conditions on final start for Adrian Murray last September. Sold for only €3,000 subsequently and has a bit to prove on stable debut.	P	Adam Browne-Souza J Morrison	4	59kg	101 100/1
—	9	6	Derry Lad (G) PT On a lengthy losing run but that's reflected in his mark, and he turned in his best effort of the season in reapplied cheekpieces/tongue tie when fifth at Naas (1¼m) on Wednesday.	990555	Nestor Kash Kevin Coleman	8	58.1kg	13 12/1 Betfa… 26 Paddy… 26 Sky B… 26
6th	10	17	Party Dress (M) T Out of sorts when last seen on the Flat and offered very little on chasing debut at Clonmel in late-March.	9700-64	Wesley Joyce W McCreery	6	58.1kg	41 40/1
7th	11	1	Faro Island (G) P Low-mileage 4-y-o who doubled his tally with a career-best success at Gowran (9.5f) last time. His style suggests this longer trip shouldn't be an issue (already proven over 11f), and he's one of the…	10-4176	Jack Kearney A Oliver	4	57.6kg	11 10/1
3rd	12	13	Celtic Druid (G) Successful in back-to-back 1½m Dundalk handicaps to start the season and while not disgraced when seventh of 13 in a handicap at Gowran (1¾m), he remains on a career-high mark.	114732	Sadhbh Tormey T G McCourt	5	56.7kg	19 18/1
—	13	9	Tatum (M) B A winner twice at Leopardstown last season, she did too much too soon on first try over a staying trip at Limerick (17f) on her latest start and should be suited by this big field/drop back in distan…	21-7531	Jimmy Dalton N Meade	5	56.7kg	15 14/1 Betfa… 13 Paddy… 13 Sky B… 12
14th	14	10	Royal Alliance (G) T Sole success came in all-weather novice for previous yard, but he returned to form from out of the blue (following 3 months off) when close third at Down Royal (13f, soft) 6 days ago and has claims i…	000-003	Jessica O'Gorman Maurice Ahern	4	55.8kg	10 9/1
4th	15	7	Covert Legend (G) T Returning from 7 months off when runner-up at Southwell (11f) on debut for the Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith stable. Has again changed hands (for only 5,500 gns) and it's hard to be confident following …	6442-44	Shay Wallace Maurice Ahern	6	55.3kg	19 18/1
2nd	16	8	Keepsgettingbetter (F) T Sottsass filly who is on the up in handicaps, winning at Dundalk in March/April before running well to finish third in her hat-trick bid at Leopardstown. She wasn't ideally placed last time, either, …	0-01132	Paddy Harnett Donnacha O'Brien	3	55.3kg	4.50 7/2
—	17	21	Cooley's Mist (G) Lightly-raced maiden who was suited by the emphasis on stamina when bouncing back to form on second start for current yard, finishing third of 15 in a handicap at Leopardstown (9f, soft), and he's we…	47-8331	— H Rogers	4	54.9kg	17 16/1 Paddy… 19 Betfa… 15 Sky B… 15
1st	18	11	Darius Dark (G) FAV P Progressive sort who followed up his gambled-on handicap debut success (under this jockey) with a solid victory at Leopardstown (1½m) last time. Looks far from the finished article and with the addit…	09-0111	Rory Mulligan J P Murtagh	3	54.4kg	4 3/1
5th	19	5	Nod Of Approval (G) Having shaped well behind Darius Dark when second at Cork on penultimate start (third also won next time), he didn't get home over a markedly longer trip at Limerick (17f), and is well worth another …	-	Keithen Kennedy Mrs J Harrington	3	54.4kg	7.50 13/2
9th	20	19	Gaelic Drills (C) Handicap debutant who finished a promising fifth first time up at Leopardstown (1¼m, soft) in April. Didn't build on that either start since and has a wider-than-ideal draw, however, his opening mark…	5479	Orla Tynan J S Bolger	3	54kg	12 11/1
—	21	15	Tassarolo (G) PT Three-time winner across both codes in 2025 and is holding his form well this year, for all he never really looked like winning when eighth of 17 in a handicap at Fairyhouse (1½m) on his latest start…	5/31210-	Reserve 1 D Hogan	5	54.4kg	17 16/1 Paddy… 11 Betfa… 11 Sky B… 11
10th	22	22	Folly Beach (M) Fourth in this race 12 months ago and wasn't far off her best when close second at Down Royal (13f, soft) 6 days ago. RESERVE	5PP/370-	Patrick McGettigan M A Molloy	8	54kg	19 18/1
—	23	16	Avoca Woods (C) Sea The Moon colt who went the wrong way in maidens and faces a stiff task at the weights on his handicap bow. RESERVE	809	Reserve 3 Jack Foley	3	54kg	51 50/1 Betfa… 26 Paddy… 26 Sky B… 26
