1600m – Turf
| 1 | Coeur d’Or | His last career victory came when beating 21 rivals in a prestigious handicap over this course and distance. Hasn’t quite made the same impact in four starts since. A late closer. |
| 2 | Blues Emperor | Only just failed to win a prestigious handicap over this course and distance last August. Led for some of the trip in another hot handicap here last month. |
| 3 | State Actor | A lightly-raced in-form gelding who has won over this course and distance on his last two starts, most recently when delivering a strong finish on his handicap debut. Raised 9lb. |
| 4 | Shayzann | May have needed his first start for over eight and a half months when sixth of seven at Gowran Park this month. Drops down to a trip that he won over last year. |
| 5 | Cheers Again | Unbeaten in three runs on the all-weather at Dundalk, all at this trip. He’s 0-11 on turf but had a rough passage when a close third here in May. |
| 6 | Booyea | Mostly competes over further than this but dropped to 1400m to win at Fairyhouse this month. May have been lucky there, and challenging at the weights now. |
| 7 | Casanova | Good efforts in handicaps over this course and distance in all three starts this season. He again should not be far away in this very competitive affair. |
| 8 | Physique | Yet to win since moving from the UK but his last two starts have been encouraging. A close third at Limerick last time, not inconvenienced by the fast surface. |
| 9 | No More Porter | Beaten in his last 23 starts, but with quite a few placed efforts his handicap mark is not sinking significantly. Couldn’t reach the leaders when seventh in this last year. |
| 10 | Verhoyen | Has won seven of his 78 starts, the most recent coming with a front-running victory in a 1400m handicap at this meeting last year. This trip may be too testing. |
| 11 | Benavente | Nine of his last ten starts have come on an all-weather surface and he is yet to win on turf. Made some late headway over 1400m here last time out. |
| 12 | Morse | Made a winning handicap debut on his fourth career start on 7 April on heavy ground at Leopardstown over this trip and despite a troubled passage. |
| 13 | Brains | A 13-time winning veteran though most success has come on all-weather surfaces. But he did win on turf at Roscommon in May benefitting from an easy lead. |
| 14 | Concluding Call | Won a 1600m maiden at Navan on her penultimate start. Couldn’t get into the action in a steadily run handicap at Leopardstown this month. |
| 15 | May Night | A seven-time all-weather winner, he had his first turf success with a front-running performance over 1600m at Cork in May. This looks hard for him. |
