Takes a drop in class after contesting a much stronger handicap at Bellewstown, respected
2	Realism b J:Mark Walsh T:E Bolger	J:Mark Walsh T:E Bolger	165	—	40/34-	106	109	70	—	—	—	+2	19	9/2 18%
Group 3-placed on Flat early in career, placed over hurdles, first run for Enda Bolger now

Not beaten far in mid-field in two handicap attempts, has potential for improvement
9	Only One Plan b J:Conor Owens(7) T:M Flannery	J:Conor Owens(7) T:M Flannery	155	p	9-9702	96	114	63	11d	—	—	+5	14.2	15/2 12%
Local hope, twice placed here, beaten almost 9l in second at Kilbeggan recently
13	Silent Dawn b J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	J:Sean Flanagan T:Adrian Murray	148	tp	8F35-P	89	112	89	51d	—	—	+3	12.4	9/1 10%
Pulled up at Kilbeggan last time, could be given a chance on his Clonmel third in March
8	Eastmore br J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	156	—	9020-8	97	112	103	18d	—	—	+6	14	10/1 9%
Should be better for a recent Wexford run, went close at Down Royal last August
10	Parkgarve b J:Sam Ewing T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	J:Sam Ewing T:Ian Patrick Donoghue	155	t	8-3458	96	108	93	15d	—	—	+6	13.6	11/1 8%
Half-brother to Supreme Novices' winner Slade Steel, early days, premature to dismiss
14	Stily b J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J McDonagh	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:Michael J McDonagh	145	t	906-26	86	108	89	19d	—	—	+3	11.5	10/1 9%

6	Take Chance b J:Anna McGuinness(7) T:John C McConnell	J:Anna McGuinness(7) T:John C McConnell	159	—	6-5786	100	100	86	17d	—	—	+8	14.2	14/1 7%
Second in a point, relatively unexposed sort, could slot in effectively on handicap debut
7	Dream Shaper b J:Benjamin P Kennedy(7) T:I Madden	J:Benjamin P Kennedy(7) T:I Madden	157	—	5407-6	98	114	95	56d	—	—	+9	13.2	20/1 5%
Yet to reach the first three in 19 races, has run well from time to time, others preferred
12	Sea Road Fill b J:Cian Quirke T:Darren Collins	J:Cian Quirke T:Darren Collins	151	—	2734P-	92	109	-	208d	—	—	+9	12.6	22/1 4%
Potentially well-treated relative to his best chase form, lacks a recent outing
11	Danielle D br J:John Shinnick(3) T:Maike Magnussen	J:John Shinnick(3) T:Maike Magnussen	152	p	05-647	93	111	93	36d	—	—	+9	11.5	40/1 2%
Mild promise in maidens, remote seventh at Kilbeggan in her first handicap, cheekpieces on
3	Answering b J:Mr D Doyle(7) T:Timothy Doyle	J:Mr D Doyle(7) T:Timothy Doyle	164	b	000F-0	105	108	23	68d	—	—	+12	14.3	50/1 2%
Has lost form since a good spell in the opening months of 2024, blinkered first time
4	Ally Cay b J:Mr K P Healy(7) T:Paul Mulligan	J:Mr K P Healy(7) T:Paul Mulligan	162	—	/7456/	103	108	-	—	—	—	+12	13.8	50/1 2%
Has had two Flat runs after a long absence, first run a lot better than more recent outing
15	Belle Of Boston b J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Ciaran Murphy	J:Conor Stone-Walsh T:Ciaran Murphy	140	—	0-9P0	81	87	-	15d	—	—	+6	8.3	80/1 1%
Initial handicap mark is a reflection of poor maiden form, hard to make a case for her
