9st 9lb

J: Scott McCullagh

T: Mrs John Harrington

Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; poor run over 1m6f on seasonal debut; stable appears to have two stronger contenders.

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; below best in two runs since but goes well fresh, handles heavy ground and his yard won this last year; can't discount.

J: Mr H C Swan

T: Mrs John Harrington

Five-time winner; has shown good form at Galway, winning twice, including a 1m6f conditions event at this year's festival; soundly beaten at Listowel; fair prospect at these weights but unplaced in six Curragh outings.

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Five-time winner; won a 1m5f amateur event here in 2023; two wins since then have come at the Galway races, including last time when a 5l winner of a conditions race (1m6f, yielding); his run at the Curragh prior was underwhelming when well beaten off 97; soft ground is a plus but needs to show he can do it away from Ballybrit.

9st 9lb

J: Keithen Kennedy

T: Mrs John Harrington

Winner of this race last year; no wins since then, his best effort came at Gowran in April when a 1.5l third of eight (1m6f, yielding); well below that level at the Curragh on most recent start when the ground was possibly on the quick side for him; he would appreciate some rain but the rider's claim is a plus.
