Began the season with a fair third at Navan, this shorter trip and better ground may help
14 (11)	Mocking Bay J:Patrick McGettigan(5) T:J P Murtagh	J:Patrick McGettigan(5) T:J P Murtagh	122	—	6301-6	82	103	77	30d	—	—	-3	12.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Did not get the best of runs over 1m2f on seasonal debut, more effective at this trip
6 (16)	Perry Mason Bay J:Julian Pietropaolo(7) T:Maurice Andrew Ahern	J:Julian Pietropaolo(7) T:Maurice Andrew Ahern	131	—	12-914	91	100	95	30d	—	—	0	14.3	1.38/1	11/2 15%
His good Curragh form has been on very soft ground, rain would improve his prospects
10 (7)	Immutable Bay J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	J:Gary Carroll T:Joseph G Murphy	124	—	/835-9	84	102	82	30d	—	—	+1	11.4	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Found 1m2f inadequate on seasonal debut, extra couple of furlongs here should help
4 (5)	Comfort Zone Bay J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	133	—	0003-0	93	105	87	30d	—	—	+4	13.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Most of his best form reveals a preference for staying trips, third in 2025 Ascot Stakes
R19 (2)	Rock Of Ireland Bay J:Luke McAteer T:Rory Anthony Devine	J:Luke McAteer T:Rory Anthony Devine	119	—	78-126	79	98	75	10d	—	0W/1P 1 run	+2	9.4	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Reserve, on the upgrade on first two 2026 turf runs, 5lb out of the handicap, more needed
17 (18)	Zoffman Bay J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	120	b	8070-6	80	103	98	24d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+2	9.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Last Flat success was in 2022, hard to be confident against that background, yard in form
7 (12)	Star Harbour Bay J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey T:Adrian McGuinness	128	v	237-65	88	108	76	24d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+4	11.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Seven-time winner, on a long losing sequence now, others have stronger credentials
2 (15)	Helvic Dream Bay J:Sam Coen(5) T:Noel Meade	J:Sam Coen(5) T:Noel Meade	136	t	63700-	96	107	102	—	—	—	+7	14.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Last year's Galway Hurdle runner-up, a long time since the last of his five Flat wins
5 (13)	Kilmeaden Bay J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	J:Gavin Ryan T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	131	tp	44102-	91	100	82	—	—	—	+16	22	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Recent hurdle runs have been disappointing, ended last Flat season with a good 1m6f effort
18 (1)	Thatwilldoso Bay J:Jamie Powell T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Jamie Powell T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	119	—	1262-9	79	103	86	18d	—	—	+4	8.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Ended last season with a fine second at Naas, should be better for a run at Leopardstown
11 (14)	Sea Coral Bay J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Keithen Kennedy(5) T:Mrs John Harrington	124	—	/1620-	84	103	73	184d	—	—	+12	16	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Possible excuse for a poor Dundalk run last October, maiden win was over 1m4f on good
8 (8)	Lifting Sails Chestnut J:Nathan Crosse T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Nathan Crosse T:Mrs John Harrington	125	—	2310-	85	101	53	164d	—	—	+16	19.8	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Struggled with the surface at Lingfield last November, has shown plenty of ability on turf
12 (19)	Londonofficecallin Grey J:Robert Whearty T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Robert Whearty T:Gavin Cromwell	123	t	1/190-	83	99	91	—	—	—	+13	16.1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Won a 1m6f conditions race and two races over hurdles in 2025, lacks a recent outing
3 (6)	Taipan Bay J:Scott McCullagh T:Mrs John Harrington	J:Scott McCullagh T:Mrs John Harrington	135	p	0188-9	95	109	80	34d	—	—	+9	12.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap, poor run over 1m6f on seasonal debut
NR (17)	Happy Pharoah Bay J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	J:Paddy Harnett(5) T:Donnacha Aidan O'Brien	144	t	1210-7	104	101	84	30d	—	—	—	13.5	—	—
All his best performances have been at Leopardstown, stays further than this
NR (10)	Alba Chiara Bay J:Andrew Slattery T:Miss Natalia Lupini	J:Andrew Slattery T:Miss Natalia Lupini	122	—	23012-	82	100	79	216d	—	—	—	21.9	—	—
All her best form has been at Down Royal, sent on a long journey for this, could go well

Four wins on AW, has raced only four times on turf, plenty to prove in this surface
NR (9)	Truth Be Told Bay J:N G McCullagh T:M C Grassick	J:N G McCullagh T:M C Grassick	120	—	65941-	80	102	98	206d	—	—	—	17.5	—	—
