Jockey: Sam Coen(5)Trainer: Conor O'Dwyer
2
The Blue Panther

C&D winner; added his fifth career win with with heavy-ground Listowel success over 7f in September; rounded off last term with fair fifth at Leopardstown after slow break; goes well fresh.

Jockey: Nicola Burns(5)Trainer: R P Burns

Won Cork handicap (7f, soft) last September; failed to sustain that progress in four subsequent outings, including on return at the Curragh 12 days ago; still 6lb above her winning mark.

Jockey: Killian LeonardTrainer: James M Barrett
4
Zephron

Three-time Curragh winner; five wins in all, none since April 2024; weak form last season; heavily punted at Navan (6f) on return/stable debut 10 days ago but was always behind and finished last.
