|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Orlando SpiritFourth last time out and placed in a second and a third earlier, Orlando Spirit is yet to win in his last five starts, and he has run on today's going before. A 183-day absence and 154 lb on an official mark of 85 temper the case. | 0238-4 | 6 | 11-00 | Sean O'Keeffe | Paul Power | 85 | 15/2 |
| 1 | Way Down SouthWay Down South won two starts back and has been in the first three twice in his last five, with a second five starts back and a third four back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 101 ranks him third of 16, but a seventh last time out and 168 lb are the concerns. | 2-3517 | 7 | 12-00 | Alan O'Sullivan(5) | Gillian Scott | 99 | 11/2 |
| 2 | Grange WalkGrange Walk comes here fresh from a third last time out, 21 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 106 puts him top of the 16 despite being yet to win in his last six starts. A weight of 164 lb off an official 95 is the one reservation. | 6B7763 | 11 | 11-10 | Daniel King | John Patrick Ryan | 95 | 10/1 |
| 3 | Barton SkyBarton Sky is winless in his last five, with a fifth four starts back his best recent effort, and he returns after 49 days off carrying 159 lb off an official mark of 90. Our rating of 89, seventh of 16, backs the midfield billing. | P-5070 | 8 | 11-05 | Harry Sexton(7) | John Joseph Hanlon | 90 | 25/1 |
| 4 | Island McCooIsland McCoo has been consistent without winning lately, a fifth last time out and a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before after 26 days off. Carrying 159 lb off an official mark of 90, he looks held by our 86 rating, ninth of 16. | 184535 | 9 | 11-05 | Eoin Staples(5) | Donncha Duggan | 90 | 5/1 |
| 5 | OnefortheditchTwo seconds in her last five starts, and she's turned out quickly just seven days after unseating, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 102 ranks her second of 16, but 159 lb and that fall are the worry. | 226-5U | 8 | 11-05 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Eamonn Francis Gallagher | 90 | 9/4 |
| 6 | SharetheknowledgeSharetheknowledge is a leading danger, with our rating of 94 ranking him fourth of 16 and 5 lb above his official 89, and he has run over today's trip and going before after a fresh 21-day break. The risk is a winless run in his last five, with a sixth last time out, and 158 lb to carry. | 4-0456 | 7 | 11-04 | Sean Flanagan | W J Burke | 89 | 10/1 |
| 7 | It's Time AgainPulled up last time out and again three starts back, but she was second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going before; 26 days off and 157 lb on an official mark of 88 make this a mid-pack proposition, ranked eighth of sixteen by our rating. | F89P2P | 10 | 11-03 | Jordan Gainford | David Richard Barry | 88 | 18/1 |
| 9 | Hickeys HillHickeys Hill won five starts back but has tailed off since, with a ninth three starts back and then pulled up last time out, and he returns after 66 days off. He has run on today's going and carries 153 lb off an official mark of 84, while our rating of 81 puts him eleventh of 16. | 15-90P | 7 | 10-13 | Danny Gilligan | G Mangan | 84 | 10/1 |
| 10 | SynchronizeSynchronize is winless in his last five, finishing ninth last time out and eighth two starts back, though he has run on today's going and is back quickly after nine days. Our rating of 90 sits above his official 83, but 152 lb is a big burden. | 0-0089 | 5 | 10-12 | John Shinnick | J Morrison | 83 | 18/1 |
| 11 | Tantrum BoyWinless in his last six, Tantrum Boy is hard to fancy, though a fourth last time out and a second three starts back show he is not out of form, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 149 lb off 80, he looks outgunned, with our rating of 76 ranking him 14th of 16. | 844204 | 6 | 10-09 | Phillip Enright | Brian M McMahon | 80 | 5/1 |
| 12 | Esticky EndEsticky End is hard to fancy after being pulled up last time out and finishing unplaced the run before, though he won three and four starts back and has run on today's going before. Ranked 15 of 16 on our figures, he carries 148 lb off an official mark of 79. | P2110P | 8 | 10-08 | Dylan Robinson | Tom McGuinness | 79 | 22/1 |
| 13 | Gortmore LadyGortmore Lady is winless in her last six, though she was second last time out and a fifth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 148 lb off a mark of 79 and ranked 13 of 16 on our figures, she is hard to fancy. | 754252 | 6 | 10-08 | Kevin Healy(7) | Ciaran Murphy | 79 | 7/1 |
| 14 | VroomvroombooWinless in her last five, Vroomvroomboo has finished eighth last time out, a sixth two starts back and another sixth three starts back, so she is hard to fancy carrying 147 lb. In her favour, she is back quickly after nine days and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 81 still leaves her twelfth of 16. | -80668 | 8 | 10-07 | Michael Kenneally(3) | James Andrew Fahey | 78 | 6/1 |
| 15 | Battle Of BenburbBattle Of Benburb has been pulled up in three of his last five, including last time out, though a fourth two starts back shows some ability, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 142 lb off an official 73, he's yet to win, but our rating of 93 ranks him fifth of 16. | PP-04P | 9 | 10-02 | Mr P Verling(7) | Patrick Michael Verling | 73 | 66/1 |
| 16 | Annie QuestionsAnnie Questions is hard to fancy after being unplaced last time out and a fourth two starts back, with her only win five starts back and a 76-day absence to overcome. She has run on today's going and our rating of 74 is above her official 72, but ranking 16th of 16 says plenty. | -18040 | 8 | 10-01 | Mr M J Walsh(7) | Brendan Maurice Walsh | 72 | 35/1 |
