4 (1)	Collecting Coin Bay J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Shane Foley T:Mrs John Harrington	137	—	32135-	86	96	70	176d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+7	22.6	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Only once out of the first three in five starts last season, capable of holding his own
2 (4)	Varshini Chestnut J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	J:Seamie Heffernan T:J A Stack	138	—	85056-	87	91	67	162d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	-1	13.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Ended last season with two runs in Listed races, this is more realistic
12 (5)	Desert Haven Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	122	tb	/268-5	71	99	98	16d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	-3	8.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Has won on good ground and on heavy, likely to be better for a recent Dundalk outing
6 (9)	Game Point Bay J:Colin Keane T:R P Cody	J:Colin Keane T:R P Cody	133	—	22264-	82	96	81	197d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+2	17.4	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Runner-up on five consecutive starts at one stage for Ger Lyons, Keane knows him well
8 (2)	San Aer Bay J:Donagh O'Connor T:Ross O'Sullivan	J:Donagh O'Connor T:Ross O'Sullivan	131	t	58742-	80	97	86	—	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+5	15.4	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Interesting based on his second to Ribee (Irish Lincoln winner) at Galway last autumn
11 (3)	Merisi Diamond Bay J:James Ryan T:Thomas Coyle	J:James Ryan T:Thomas Coyle	123	t	4900-6	72	96	65	7d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	-1	8.2	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Should be a bit sharper now as a result of last Sunday's 6f run at the Currragh
9 (6)	Thru And Thru Roan J:Luke McAteer T:Rory Anthony Devine	J:Luke McAteer T:Rory Anthony Devine	128	t	7202-	77	87	65	146d	0W/1P 1 run	0W/1P 1 run	+8	16.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Can be rated a likely future winner based on two seconds last season, suited by soft
10 (12)	Zaraahmando Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	J:Andrew Slattery T:Andrew Slattery	125	—	06315-	74	89	70	173d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+10	16.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Two wins last summer on good ground, also scored on soft later in the campaign
5 (8)	Quatre Bras Bay J:W J Lee T:Richard John O'Brien	J:W J Lee T:Richard John O'Brien	136	—	2123-4	85	93	56	30d	0W/1P 1 run	0W/1P 1 run	+4	10.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Yet to score on turf, strong chance if he can replicate his solid AW form
1 (11)	Hurricane Ivor Bay J:Scott McCullagh T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Scott McCullagh T:Mrs John Harrington	140	b	40500-	89	104	72	176d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+5	11.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won this race at a big price last year, will again be a surprise if he prevails
7 (10)	Independent Expert Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	132	b	51388-	81	101	87	93d	1W/1P 1 run	1W/1P 1 run	+9	13.4	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Course winner over 1m, not at her best at Dundalk on her final two starts in 2025
3 (7)	Blues Emperor Chestnut J:Nathan Crosse T:William Harvey	J:Nathan Crosse T:William Harvey	137	—	0776-0	86	100	80	30d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+8	9.4	25.00/1	100/1 1%
