1	1 1st (1) (17/2 -6%) Cowardofthecounty		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(1) Cowardofthecounty 17/2, €98,000 foal, 100,000 yearling. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Cassy O and 6f winner Bedford Blaze. Represents top yard and very much one to note in the betting. 100,000gns yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to winner Cassy O (7f/1m; RPR 89).
2	8 2nd (8) (Evens +33%) Whistlejacket		0 Evens(+33%)																															(8) Whistlejacket Evens, 500,000 yearling. Brother to very smart 5f/6f (including Phoenix Stakes at 2 yrs) winner Little Big Bear and half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m winner American Graffiti and 9f-1½m winner Andrea Mantegna. Every inch a likely-looking type. 500,000gns yearling and brother to Little Big Bear was second in this two years ago.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +56%) Mount Parnassus		4 4/1(+56%)																															(3) Mount Parnassus 4/1, Foaled March 1. €150,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Jockey bookings suggest that Spartan Soldier is the stable first-string. Bred to appreciate further and, partnered by a 5lb claimer, he looks best watched on debut.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 +45%) Velvet Falls		22 22/1(+45%)																															(7) Velvet Falls 22/1, Foaled January 30. €30,000 yearling, Profitable colt. Dam, 7f winner, granddaughter of Pretty Polly Stakes winner Tarfshi. Probably more one for further down the line. First foal; dam 7f winner (RPR 83), sister to 8.6f 2yo winner La La Land.
5th	9 5th (9) (22/1 +12%) Wizard Of Odds		22 22/1(+12%)																															(9) Wizard Of Odds 22/1, Foaled May 14. Arizona colt. Dam, winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 7f winner), closely related to smart 9f-1¼m winner Rockspirit. Likely to come on for the run. Dam 7f 2yo/1m winner (RPR 82), closely related to useful middle-distance winners.
6th	11 6th (11) (40/1 -186%) Pleasant Dawn		40 40/1(-186%)																															(11) Pleasant Dawn 40/1, Foaled January 14. Dawn Approach filly. Dam unraced. Market should point the way. Dawn Approach filly and the first foal out of an unraced dam; tackles some well-bred colts.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 +24%) Sunriseontheboyne		50 50/1(+24%)																															(6) Sunriseontheboyne 50/1, Once-raced colt. 11/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) on debut 26 days ago, met some trouble. Likely to improve with that experience to draw upon but he's up against some likely-looking newcomers here. Not a lot went right at Dundalk and he was a never-dangerous sixth of nine, running on.
8th	5 8th (5) (8/1 -33%) Spartan Soldier		8 8/1(-33%)																															(5) Spartan Soldier 8/1, Foaled March 10. €150,000 yearling, No Nay Never colt. Likely type on paper and interesting to see what the market has to say. No Nay Never colt who fetched 150,000 euros as a yearling; dam well related.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -32%) Keithal		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Keithal 33/1, Foaled April 22. €5,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag filly. Sister to 2 winners, notably useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Catherine of Siena and half-sister to 1½m-2m winner Romantically. Dam 1m winner. 5,000 euros yearling; tackles the boys on debut and probably one for another day.
10th	4 10th (4) (100/1 -100%) Refreshment		100 100/1(-100%)																															(4) Refreshment 100/1, Foaled April 6. €8,000 foal, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Inawe. Likely to come on for the run. 8,000 euros foal; fourth foal; half-brother to 7f AW winner Inawe (RPR 51); dam unraced.
11th	2 11th (2) (7/1 -250%) Devine Genius		7 7/1(-250%)																															(2) Devine Genius 7/1, Foaled April 14. €185,000 yearling, Almanzor colt. Closely related to smart 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Unquestionable. Plenty to like about this one on paper and needs close attention in the betting. 185,000 euros yearling; lots to like on paper and stable's 2yos are already off the mark.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

With Sunriseontheboyne's Dundalk sixth setting only a modest standard, it should pay to concentrate on the debutants. The obvious first port of call is the Aidan O'Brien-trained WHISTLEJACKET, who is a full-brother to the yard's 2022 champion juvenile Little Big Bear, so it is no surprise he cost 500,000gns as a yearling. Fellow No Nay Never colt Spartan Soldier fetched 150,000 euros, as did his stablemate Mount Parnassus, while Cowardofthecounty also made six figures. Devine Genius, a 185,000-euro half-brother to Breeders' Cup hero Unquestionable, could be the biggest threat, though.

There's an awful lot to like about WHISTLEJACKET on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Indeed, he was a costly purchase and is certainly bred to make a 2-y-o being a brother to Little Big Bear, who landed the Phoenix Stakes for these connections during his juvenile campaign. Devine Genius is also appealing and he is nominated as the main danger, with Spartan Soldier and Cowardofthecounty others to monitor closely in the betting.

Whistlejacket could be anything and his yard has a good record in this maiden, but DEVINE GENIUS could serve it up to him.

1	5 1st (5) (22/1 -389%) Follow Me		22 22/1(-389%)																															(5) Follow Me 22/1, Fairly useful colt. Fifth of 13 in minor event at Longchamp (8f, good to firm, 49/1). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving M. Delcher Sanchez. Good form in France last year, solid displays over 7f and 1m suggest this may be too short.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +56%) Eclipse Emerald		1.75 7/4(+56%)																															(4) Eclipse Emerald 7/4, Promising sort. 16/1, second of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy) on debut. Off 173 days. Should progress. Good C&D second on only start at two, third-placed stablemate Shandy has won this term.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +25%) Kortez Bay		6 6/1(+25%)																															(6) Kortez Bay 6/1, Lightly-raced colt. Bit below form fourth of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy, 11/10), finding less than looked likely. Off 173 days. Useful form over this trip last year, just over 4l behind Eclipse Emerald here in October.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 -113%) Betsen		8.5 17/2(-113%)																															(3) Betsen 17/2, Once-raced colt. 9/2, second of 18 in maiden at Cork (5f, heavy) on debut 22 days ago, running on. Likely to improve. Shaped well on heavy ground over 5f at Cork, extra furlong here should prove suitable.
5th	11 5th (11) (9/2 +44%) Ebanza		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(11) Ebanza 9/2, Promising sort. 5/2, second of 6 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy) on debut, slowly away. Off 6 months. Open to improvement. Stoutly-bred filly went close over this trip on only start at two despite running green.
6th	10 6th (10) (150/1 -127%) Bridge The Gap		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Bridge The Gap 150/1, Decorated Knight filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f/6f winner Heartrate and winner up to 1m Entwine. Dam has produced several winners at a modest level, likely to benefit form this experience.
7th	15 7th (15) (150/1 -500%) Weston Grey		150 150/1(-500%)																															(15) Weston Grey 150/1, Once-raced filly. 9/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) on debut 58 days ago. Down in trip. Never threatened to get involved on debut in a 1m maiden at Dundalk, not a big price then.
8th	14 8th (14) (200/1 -506%) Somptueuse		200 200/1(-506%)																															(14) Somptueuse 200/1, €8,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam unraced half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Setarhe (by Footstepsinthesand). Unraced dam is a half-sister to useful Listed winner Inverleigh, tough task on debut.
9th	13 9th (13) (66/1 -371%) Sakakawea		66 66/1(-371%)																															(13) Sakakawea 66/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at this course (7f, good) on debut. Off 8 months. Ran green when set unenviable task in a very strong 7f conditions event here last August.
10th	7 10th (7) (5/2 +0%) Master Of The Hunt		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(7) Master Of The Hunt 5/2, Thrice-raced colt. 9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy). Off 6 months. Yard in good form. Booking of Moore a plus. Another bold show likely. Three runs at 7f at two, beaten favourite twice after third to the smart Henry Longfellow.
11th	1 11th (1) (40/1 -150%) Gerrit's Gem		40 40/1(-150%)																															(1) Gerrit's Gem 40/1, Once-raced gelding. Sixth of 12 in maiden (10/3) at Dundalk (6f) on debut, not knocked about. Off 6 months. Should improve. Not a big price on debut over this trip, staying-on sixth implies he might need further.
12th	12 12th (12) (25/1 +0%) Many Thanks		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Many Thanks 25/1, Twice-raced filly. 4/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (soft). Off 6 months. Promising debut over 7f, did not get the best of runs over C&D on her only other outing.
13th	8 13th (8) (200/1 -100%) Noble Andy		200 200/1(-100%)																															(8) Noble Andy 200/1, Once-raced gelding. Tenth of 11 in maiden (100/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 14 days ago. Down in trip. Slowly away and never in contention on debut in 1m maiden at Leopardstown, makes no appeal.
14th	9 14th (9) (200/1 -100%) Our Dagger		200 200/1(-100%)																															(9) Our Dagger 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, eleventh of 18 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft), slowly away. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John Larkin. Soundly beaten in two sprint maidens at two, has changed stable, up against it here.

ECLIPSE EMERALD beat Kortez Bay (fourth) by over two lengths when running with huge credit to occupy the runner-up berth on his debut over track and trip in October. The son of Holy Roman Emperor would have learned a great deal from that experience and, with normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Master Of The Hunt has finished third on each of his three starts to date and it would be no surprise to see him get involved, despite the drop in trip. Betsen and Follow Me are others to note.

The vote goes to ECLIPSE EMERALD, who represents the yard that saddled the winner of this maiden 12 months ago and he shaped with promise on his sole 2-y-o start when runner-up in a maiden here in the autumn (form of that race is working out well). Master of The Hunt, who was thereabouts on each of his three starts in 2023, is next on the list ahead of French import Follow Me, while Betsen and Ebanza are promising types.

Slight reference is for ECLIPSE EMERALD who shaped well on heavy going here last October with Kortez Bay back in fourth

1	6 1st (6) (13/2 +54%) Zephron		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(6) Zephron 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 16/1, below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Hit 15lb for his C&D win in November; may have needed comeback run but mark is a worry.
2	11 2nd (11) (28/1 -211%) El Bello		28 28/1(-211%)																															(11) El Bello 28/1, Unreliable sort. 15/2, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (7f) 9 days ago, pushed out. Others have achieved more. All wins at this trip but on the AW and has been steered clear of testing ground.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 +50%) God Knows		10 10/1(+50%)																															(9) God Knows 10/1, 5/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 6 months. Significantly down in trip. Has never raced over a trip shy of 1m so probably best watched on this return.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -106%) Sea Eagle		33 33/1(-106%)																															(3) Sea Eagle 33/1, Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 9/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Maiden winner for William Haggas; bought for 26,000gns and can win more races.
5th	21 5th (21) (5/1 +9%) Pepper Noir		5 5/1(+9%)																															(21) Pepper Noir 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden (7/2) at Dundalk (8f) 58 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Makes handicap debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Lightly raced AW maiden winner; could be on a lenient mark if handling the ground.
6th	1 6th (1) (22/1 +12%) Spanish Tenor		22 22/1(+12%)																															(1) Spanish Tenor 22/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Cork (7f, heavy, 16/1) 22 days ago. Can make presence felt. Exposed; hasn't been at his best in either run this season and he's 0-9 here.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 +8%) Fiver Friday		11 11/1(+8%)																															(7) Fiver Friday 11/1, 25/1, bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Hood back on. Looks competitive on form. Led early but dropped out over this new trip at Naas and she may need further.
8th	10 8th (10) (22/1 -22%) Eastern Wind		22 22/1(-22%)																															(10) Eastern Wind 22/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (6f). Off 142 days. Cheekpieces back on. Would be a threat if on-song. Infrequent winner (3-31) and unplaced in her four previous runs on this track.
9th	18 9th (18) (11/2 -83%) Uncle Albert		5.5 11/2(-83%)																															(18) Uncle Albert 11/2, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Cork (7f, heavy, 2/1) 22 days ago, kept up to work. Merits consideration. Easy Cork winner on heavy and could be progressive enough to cope with the 6lb rise.
10th	13 10th (13) (12/1 -140%) Rio Largo		12 12/1(-140%)																															(13) Rio Largo 12/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 16/1) 30 days ago, nearest finish. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Dual winner who has shown a liking for testing ground and latest AW effort was encouraging.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -65%) Mile End		33 33/1(-65%)																															(4) Mile End 33/1, Course winner. 33/1, first run since leaving Michael Bell when bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran okay on stable debut at Leopardstown (7f, heavy) but not well enough.
12th	20 12th (20) (4/1 +47%) Chicago Storm		4 4/1(+47%)																															(20) Chicago Storm 4/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Respectable third of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Now 0-20 but he's on the shortlist after a solid effort under similar conditions at Cork.
13th	19 13th (19) (40/1 -60%) Easy Way		40 40/1(-60%)																															(19) Easy Way 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 51 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has work to do. Maiden; now gelded and tries cheekpieces on this first run over 7f.
14th	8 14th (8) (50/1 +24%) Loingseoir		50 50/1(+24%)																															(8) Loingseoir 50/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Tailed off at Naas and behind some of these; cheekpieces added.
15th	16 15th (16) (80/1 -60%) Amanirenas		80 80/1(-60%)																															(16) Amanirenas 80/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 100/1) 28 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. All three wins have been on good ground so probably one for another day.
16th	2 16th (2) (33/1 +34%) Queenie St Clair		33 33/1(+34%)																															(2) Queenie St Clair 33/1, 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. No better than midfield in two runs for this yard and now tries more new headgear.
17th	14 17th (14) (25/1 -150%) Half Nutz		25 25/1(-150%)																															(14) Half Nutz 25/1, C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (6f), unable to sustain effort. Off 142 days. Can start slowly but he's not badly treated if he can get going in quick enough time.
18th	12 18th (12) (14/1 +13%) Encosta		14 14/1(+13%)																															(12) Encosta 14/1, 6/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft). Off 6 months. Has good chance on pick of form. Maiden winner with placed form in handicaps at Leopardstown; conditions are a worry.
19th	17 19th (17) (100/1 -100%) Cu Chulainn		100 100/1(-100%)																															(17) Cu Chulainn 100/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Richard John O'Brien when sixteenth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Dual AW winner; tailed off on heavy-ground stable debut at Leopardstown (1m) when 80-1.
20th	15 20th (15) (80/1 -142%) Rochester Mike		80 80/1(-142%)																															(15) Rochester Mike 80/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (8f, good to soft, 14/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. Tongue strap on 1st time. Runner-up to Paddington in a maiden here two seasons ago; hasn't offered much in handicaps.
21st	5 21st (5) (16/1 -33%) Rhythm King		16 16/1(-33%)																															(5) Rhythm King 16/1, Latest win at Gowran in October. Last of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Three-time winner who goes in the mud but now has some wellbeing issues to address.

Fiver Friday beat a few of these when returning with a fifth at Naas and she goes off an unchanged mark so could give it a good crack from the front. However, she might find it tough to deny UNCLE ALBERT, who relished heavy conditions to score by just under four lengths at Cork and a 6lb rise looks kind. The son of Dragon Pulse looks to have lots in his favour and he can go in again, while Sea Eagle and El Bello are two others to consider.

A 6 lb rise for UNCLE ALBERT's decisive Cork success at the end of last month looks like a rare act of generosity on the part of the handicapper. He will surely take plenty of stopping if in a similar mood. Fellow 3-y-o Pepper Noir landed a Dundalk maiden last time and could be a threat on this handicap/turf debut, while Chicago Storm is also shortlisted. The likes of Spanish Tenor, Eastern Wind and Encosta would also have a big chance if on-song.

It's early for 3yos to be taking on their elders but UNCLE ALBERT and Pepper Noir look progressive after their recent wins.

1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +40%) Yosemite Valley		3 3/1(+40%)																															(4) Yosemite Valley 3/1, Useful colt. Course winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Easy in listed race (2/1) at Cork (6f, heavy) 22 days ago, running on late. Worn down late by Big Gossey over C&D in November; beaten by an outsider on seasonal debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/4 +30%) Jumbly		1.75 7/4(+30%)																															(5) Jumbly 7/4, Useful mare. 7½ lengths sixth of 8 to Gina Romantica in First Lady Stakes at Keeneland (8f, firm). Off 6 months. Will have every chance if fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance. Yet to score for Joseph O'Brien but has run well in defeat in top races, ground a concern.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 -8%) Mutasarref		7 7/1(-8%)																															(1) Mutasarref 7/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Won 8-runner listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 8/1) by neck from Honey Girl. Off 6 months but he scored on his reappearance in 2022 and cannot be ruled out. Best form last season when winning a 1m Listed event at Leopardstown on his final start.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -43%) Big Gossey		20 20/1(-43%)																															(2) Big Gossey 20/1, Useful gelding. 5-time course winner. Latest win here in November. 16 lengths fifth of 6 to Goldana in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 33/1) 11 days ago. Could go well at a price. Has run in 11 stakes races without managing to win one, runner-up in three such events.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/4 -38%) Henry Adams		2.25 9/4(-38%)																															(6) Henry Adams 9/4, Useful colt. Two wins from 3 runs last year. 6/1, tailed-off last of 11 to Forever Young in UAE Derby at Meydan (9.4f) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and big chance on peak form, albeit only won 3-y-o has won this race since 2002. High-class juvenile form, needs to rebound from dismal run on dirt in Dubai, had excuses.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -456%) San Andreas		100 100/1(-456%)																															(3) San Andreas 100/1, Useful gelding. Latest win at Dundalk in January. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Dundalk (10.7f, 17/2) 86 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and he has plenty to find on form. Very useful six-time Dundalk winner with a modest 2-29 strike rate on turf, up against it.

With Craven Stakes winner Haatem emphatically boosting last year's Dewhurst form, it would be folly to underestimate HENRY ADAMS, especially as he had valid excuses for a poor showing in the UAE Derby last month. He resented the kick back and was reported as finishing lame. If back to his best, the son of No Nay Never will be a major player, with his three-year-old weight allowance a key factor. Older horses have a good record in this race, though, and Mutasarref, who is proven on deep ground, is feared most. The versatile Jumbly rates the pick of Joseph O'Brien's pair.

Though JUMBLY has done most of her racing on fast ground, she was an easy winner of a listed event on heavy going as a 2-y-o and this represents a good opportunity for her to regain the winning thread. Big Gossey needs to bounce back but he is certainly capable of a bold show and is an appealing option for forecast purposes. Mutasarref and Yosemite Valley both look fairly solid but likely favourite Henry Adams is probably worth taking on given the recent record of 3-y-os in this race.

Perhaps Henry Adams will bounce back from his Meydan flop, but YOSEMITE VALLEY is put forward as a realistic alternative.

1	10 1st (10) (7/2 +42%) Magical Vision		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(10) Magical Vision 7/2, Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 11/2) 22 days ago. Solid each-way chance. Creditable third at Cork, closely matched with Two Star on that running, suited by heavy.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/8 +37%) Two Stars		1.875 15/8(+37%)																															(6) Two Stars 15/8, Promising sort. One win from 3 runs last year. 10/3, good second of 11 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Has good chance on form. Fourth over C&D before going very close at Cork, has fair prospects of going one better.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 -17%) Laugh A Minute		7 7/1(-17%)																															(1) Laugh A Minute 7/1, 3-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (heavy) 34 days ago, never nearer. Possibilities. Seven-time turf winner, plenty of life left in him judged on C&D third last month.
4	8 4th (8) (66/1 -164%) Sporting Hero		66 66/1(-164%)																															(8) Sporting Hero 66/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving George Boughey when eleventh of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Dundalk (6f) 16 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Two AW wins in Britain, limited turf experience, unknown quantity on heavy.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -40%) Mehman		14 14/1(-40%)																															(9) Mehman 14/1, 17/2, first run since leaving D. J. Bunyan & G. O'Leary when eighth of 11 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Something to find on form. Three-time 5f winner at Dundalk, not as good on turf, behind several of these at Cork.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +0%) Harry's Hill		14 14/1(+0%)																															(7) Harry's Hill 14/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 16/1) 37 days ago, not clear run. Merits consideration. Career-bests last year in C&D handicaps last season, should be better for a Dundalk outing.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 +38%) Mickey The Steel		10 10/1(+38%)																															(3) Mickey The Steel 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Ninth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 22 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Dropped to a handy mark. Went up 9lb for two wins at the end of last season, probably too high in the ratings still.
8th	12 8th (12) (7/1 +56%) Mymomentintime		7 7/1(+56%)																															(12) Mymomentintime 7/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. May struggle to reverse Cork form with Two Stars and Magical Vision, 4lb wrong.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -833%) Screen Siren		28 28/1(-833%)																															(2) Screen Siren 28/1, 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Navan (5f, heavy), slowly away. Off 6 months. Up 12 lb but she has to enter calculations. Bolted up over this trip on soft ground at Navan last October, got an extra 12lb for that.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 -213%) Verhoyen		50 50/1(-213%)																															(5) Verhoyen 50/1, 6-time course winner. Eleventh of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Looks vulnerable. All bar one of his seven career wins have come at this venue, below best so far this term.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -136%) Something Nice		33 33/1(-136%)																															(4) Something Nice 33/1, Last of 11 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft, 9/2). Off 6 months. Down in trip. A long way below his best on his final start last season, chance on the balance of form.
12th	11 12th (11) (25/1 +0%) Nordic Passage		25 25/1(+0%)																															(11) Nordic Passage 25/1, C&D winner. 22/1, last of 19 in handicap at this course (6f, soft). Off 6 months. Needs to get back on track. Veteran has run several of his best races at this venue, out of form at end of last season.

This trip could prove to be a stumbling block for a few of these and with that in mind, the lightly-raced TWO STARS looks worth chancing. Just a neck second to a 91-rated rival under similar ground conditions at Cork last month, the son of Starspangledbanner rates a big player off just a 2lb higher mark here. Magical Vision was a close third in that race and enters calculations off the same rating, while Screen Siren resumes off 12lb higher than her win at Navan in October but cannot be confidently ruled out.

There may well be more to come from the lightly-raced TWO STARS, who put in a good shift when fourth on his reappearance over this C&D last month prior to going close at Cork. He remains on an attractive mark. Harry's Hill bagged a big-field handicap over this C&D last summer and, having caught the eye on return at Dundalk, he is next on the list ahead of Screen Siren, who signed off her 2023 campaign with a decisive win at Navan. Magical Vision is also in with a shout.

One of the less exposed runners here, TWO STARS can step up a place following his Cork second on the fifth start of his career.

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 20/1) 28 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Dark Viper. Merits consideration. Beat the well-fancied Dark Viper at Naas, 6lb higher and not certain to uphold the form.

Yard in good form. Can make presence felt. 0-12, placed four times, needs to step up from her run at Naas four week ago,.
23rd	10 23rd (10) (33/1 -136%) Scarlet Dancer		33 33/1(-136%)																															(10) Scarlet Dancer 33/1, Below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 17/2), left poorly placed. Off 8 months. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving James McAuley. Looks competitive on form. 1-35 record is a negatived, often placed during a busy2023 campaign; has changed stable.

Eleventh of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 100/1). Off 7 months. 38-race maiden, would be a surprise winner given that profile and lack of a recent run.
26th	13 26th (13) (33/1 -32%) Stanhope		33 33/1(-32%)																															(13) Stanhope 33/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 165 days. Recorded the most recent of his six wins towards the end of the 2022 campaign.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Beat Redshore City over an extended 5f at Sligo last August, overall form is unconvincing.

The key to this race could be the recent clash at Naas between Naisiun (first) and DARK VIPER (second), with Jessie Harrington's charge taken to overturn the form. He is 4lb better off for a near two-length defeat and, runner-up over C&D on his penultimate outing, he should relish the drop from 7f. The unexposed Nouvel Espoir is interesting on his handicap debut, while Cage Rattler is another to note on the back of a career-best second at Leopardstown. Completing the shortlist are Downforce, Gegenpressing and Hezahunk.

Ready preference is for DARK VIPER, who chased home an improver on his reappearance over this C&D and found only Naisiun too good over 7f at Naas next time. Back down in trip on 4 lb better terms, Dark Viper should have the measure of that rival this time. Cage Rattler took a step forward when runner-up at Leopardstown recently and should be in the mix, provided he's able to build on that, while Scarlet Dancer will have an each-way chance if ready to roll following an eight-month absence.

Second on both starts since joining Jessica Harrington, DARK VIPER was outstayed by Naisiun over 7f at Naas and can take revenge.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
