Key Contenders

Among the entries, Chamonixt (ridden by Declan McDonogh, trained by J P O’Brien) is a Wootton Bassett gelding who showed promise when finishing fifth in a Curragh maiden (9f) three weeks prior, keeping on without being unduly punished and noted as a likely improver for the leading yard.

Coasting (ridden by Luke McAteer, trained by D Marnane) was backed at long odds and showed ability amidst greenness when finishing fourth in an 8-runner maiden at Dundalk (6f) two weeks ago, with connections believing stamina testing over the mile could bring improvement.

Fallacy (ridden by Andrew Slattery, trained by A Slattery), a son of Blame, improved on debut form when sixth in a 1m maiden at Dundalk in December before being subsequently gelded, with connections viewing him as better suited to handicaps after this outing.

Nil Bua Gan Dua (ridden by J M Sheridan, trained by J P O’Brien) has an official rating of 101 and set a tall standard after improving in defeat in a pair of Group contests following a fourth-place debut in a Curragh maiden (7f) in August.

Oust (ridden by Seamie Heffernan, trained by J Halley), a Palace Pier colt, showed ability when finishing fourth of seven in a Dundalk novice (7f) in December and is expected to progress with that experience.

Roaming Coyote (ridden by Billy Lee, trained by Kevin Coleman), an Awtaad colt, offered little in a Curragh maiden (1m) in October and was passed over on return.
