Not a bad effort when fifth in a maiden here last time, though that was not a strong race
13 (8)	Secret Magician Bay J:Wayne Hassett(4) T:Martin Hassett	J:Wayne Hassett(4) T:Martin Hassett	134	b	453-40	69	85	44	16d	—	—	-6	9.2	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Both wins have come over 6f at this venue; shaped well at Cork before poor 6f run here
17 (20)	Rock Etoile Bay J:Amy Jo Hayes(7) T:Andrew Slattery	J:Amy Jo Hayes(7) T:Andrew Slattery	133	—	2204-0	68	84	76	29d	—	—	-2	7	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Consistent last season, 2-25 turf record is not good enough to inspire strong confidence
3 (18)	El Bello Grey J:Daniel King T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:Daniel King T:Denis Gerard Hogan	140	p	800912	75	83	64	15d	—	—	+12	20.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Second of 25 behind Zephron over C&D last month makes him a very strong contender
15 (17)	Alessia Fernanda Chestnut J:James Ryan T:D K Weld	J:James Ryan T:D K Weld	133	—	734-	68	85	64	307d	—	—	0	9.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Lightly raced filly, possibly well enough handicapped but may need a sound surface
9 (2)	Racing Royalty Bay J:Paddy Harnett(2) T:Gillian Scott	J:Paddy Harnett(2) T:Gillian Scott	136	b	4117-5	71	81	58	26d	—	—	-2	8.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Two wins last autumn including C&D, may improve enough from seasonal debut to feature
10 (9)	Superior Force Grey J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian Murray	J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian Murray	136	—	70-320	71	83	23	49d	—	—	-1	7.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Good placed form at Dundalk before a slightly disappointing run over 1m here in March
11 (14)	Mogwli Grey J:Danny Power(7) T:W McCreery	J:Danny Power(7) T:W McCreery	135	v	53-264	70	81	51	26d	—	—	0	6.9	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Needs to improve on two Leopardstown runs, started the season well with second over C&D
2 (7)	Zabeir Grey J:Jamie Powell T:Donal Kinsella	J:Jamie Powell T:Donal Kinsella	141	tp	30860-	76	84	74	254d	—	—	+2	9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Is 0-12 on turf, third at this venue on two occasions last season, needs to find extra
20 (1)	Rattletheonionbag Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:W P Browne	J:Keithen Kennedy(7) T:W P Browne	119	—	38-089	54	80	57	15d	—	—	-4	2.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Two 6f outings at this venue this season have been encouraging, more needed though
18 (19)	Arch Enemy Grey J:Sean Bird(7) T:Patrick Magee	J:Sean Bird(7) T:Patrick Magee	131	—	3699-7	66	86	75	13d	—	—	0	5.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
All three turf wins on good ground though not a bad run on soft at Gowran 13 days ago
14 (15)	Shawaamekh Bay J:Scott McCullagh T:J F Levins	J:Scott McCullagh T:J F Levins	134	—	20290-	69	85	70	188d	—	—	+2	10.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Veteran can go well when fresh, that gives him a realistic chance, best at this trip
8 (4)	Encosta Bay J:Robert Whearty T:Noel Meade	J:Robert Whearty T:Noel Meade	136	—	3308-0	71	86	70	15d	—	—	+2	6.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Placed form in handicaps at Leopardstown (twice) last July, probably wants better ground
6 (13)	Loingseoir Bay J:Yudish Geerdharry(7) T:M C Grassick	J:Yudish Geerdharry(7) T:M C Grassick	139	t	68-000	74	85	34	15d	—	—	+4	6.8	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Consistent last year without winning, has been a long way below his best this season
1 (5)	Orandi Bay J:Jack Kearney(2) T:A J Martin	J:Jack Kearney(2) T:A J Martin	141	t	100/68	76	80	54	26d	—	—	+4	7.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Five-time winner in France, only one of his four Irish runs provides any encouragement
19 (12)	Shimmerz Bay J:Cian Horgan(4) T:Charles O'Brien	J:Cian Horgan(4) T:Charles O'Brien	119	h	87000-	54	83	78	166d	—	—	-1	1.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Long-priced winner of this race 12 months ago, that seems to have been a flash in the pan
4 (10)	Rhythm King Bay J:Hugh Horgan(2) T:Mark Fahey	J:Hugh Horgan(2) T:Mark Fahey	140	—	190-00	75	82	2	15d	—	—	+4	7	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Soundly beaten on final two starts in 2023, has suffered the same fate twice this season

Runner-up to Paddington in a maiden here two seasons ago, has failed to build on that run

Seven-time winner, in rear over C&D on only start last season, best watched for now
