1

Thunderbear

No wins from last nine starts but handicap mark remains high after good placed efforts including a near miss at Navan on his 2025 return.

2

The Highway Rat

Back on song last time with a fast-finishing victory at Navan, defying top weight in that handicap. Some good efforts at this track.

3

Keke

Won four sprint handicaps last summer including his late surge resulting in a C&D victory, and two solid efforts here from higher marks this year.

4

Little Queenie

Little impact in this last year. Her two sprint victories since have been on Dundalk’s all-weather track but only just beaten at Navan this month.

5

Go Athletico

His busy career includes a 1200m G3 victory here in 2023. Needs to improve on performances over the past year.

6

Duran

A four-time sprint winner, handling a variety of ground. Came late to win at Haydock, but a poor show on latest start.

7

Apache Outlaw

No wins from six 2025 starts, but did win here last October and his handicap mark is looking quite favourable again.

8

Greek Flower

Hasn’t won since a slow-ground 1200m victory here back in 2023. But, as an outsider, she did run second in this sprint last year.

9

Harry’s Hill

A seven-time sprint winner on a turf surface. Not beaten far on his last two starts but some others make more appeal.

10

Fair Taxes

Mostly consistent and back in the winners’ enclosure when rallying bravely to win a Navan sprint this month.

11

Red Evolution

Gained his first turf success when scoring at Cork in May and didn’t run badly here last time considering he was racing on the less favoured side of the track.

12

Moral Turpitude

Yet to win on a turf surface and yet to compete here. Ran a good second last time but might not be quick enough for this.

13

Sporting Hero

Yet to win on a turf surface, a worry against so many turf sprinting specialists in this. Well beaten here last time.

14

Cuban Grey

Prominent throughout when winning a handicap over C&D here in April, a personal best, but this is a higher-class dash.
