15/2 |
Devil's Angel
Eight-time winner in Britain, third behind Fly To Glory on his last two starts; faces tough task against that rival on these terms.

Bucky Larson
Three-time course winner; last success was in a claimer in 2022; out of the money here on Wednesday.

Clonmacash
Sole win came over this trip as a 2yo; not a bad effort when fourth behind Fly To Glory last month; two good efforts since, including a second here on Wednesday.

- K G Kennedy / M Fahey

13/2 |
Ferrari Desert
Got off the mark with a C&D win three starts ago and has backed that up with a pair of third placings; below best when sixth here on Wednesday.

- R P Cleary / Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch

|
100/1 |
Jackandthefox
Never in the first six in ten attempts; some improvement last time on second run for stable; makes no appeal at these weights.

- Spitfire Fighter
- C D Hayes / N Meade

66/1 |
Spitfire Fighter
Has the benefit of a recent hurdles run; lacks AW experience; could feature if adapting, though he meets Fly To Glory on 7lb worse than handicap terms.

- Superior Force
- J M Sheridan / D Hogan

|
40/1 |
Superior Force
Good placed form for Adrian Murray early last year at this venue; reportedly never travelled on his stable debut over 6f here last month and mid-division in a 7f handicap three weeks ago.
|
|
|
|
- Fly To Glory
- N M Crosse / P J F Murphy
|
|
77
|
5/4 |
Fly To Glory
Five-time winner on AW surfaces, and now bidding for a hat-trick after handicap wins over this trip last month and over 6f earlier this month; revised mark makes him the highest-rated runner in the race; holds a leading chance.
|
|
|
|
- Roderick
- J Cleary / P Sweeney
|
|
75
|
28/1 |
Roderick
4-23 on turf, 0-16 on AW; that profile is off-putting and he has a big task at the weights; on the positive side, his small County Donegal stable had a handicap winner here on Wednesday.

- Cross Border
- R Whearty / G P Cromwell

|
15/2 |
Cross Border
Maiden winner over 5f here for Eddie Lynam a year ago; also has decent form at 6f; credentials for 7f success are not quite as strong.
|
|
|
|
- Higher Kingdom
- D W O'connor / J C Mcconnell

|
14/1 |
Higher Kingdom
Decent form over 1m here in recent months, notably when beating today's rival Man Is King in November; this trip is possibly a bit short of optimum.
|
|
|
|
- Man Is King
- W Joyce / Thomas Dowling
|
|

|
15/2 |
Man Is King
Maiden has been consistent in defeat over 1m at this venue on his last four starts; needs to find a little more to win a race of this type (meets Fly To Glory on 10lb worse than handicap terms) but could run into the money again.

- Half Nutz
- J A Powell / A Mcguinness

|
14/1 |
Half Nutz
Six-time turf winner with 0-12 AW record; has run respectably on his two most recent attempts here; however, others are preferred based on course suitability.
