7th	1	—	Berto Ramirez (G) Fair maiden on the Flat. 50/1, first run since leaving David Marnane when fifth of 12 in juvenile hurdle at this C&D (soft) on NH debut 28 days ago, not given hard time. Type to do better in handicap…	740-143	Brian Hayes A McNamara	4	73kg	51 50/1
4th	2	—	Deep Water Bay (G) Useful, progressive stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Showed plenty to work with on hurdle/stable debut when fifth of 19 in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 14/1) 16 days ago. Entitled…	5	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	4	73kg	4.50 7/2
—	3	—	Direct Approach (G) Fair maiden on the Flat for Donnacha O'Brien but produced a laboured effort (following 3 months off) when ninth of 13 in juvenile hurdle (20/1) at this course (16.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 day…	9-63	Jordan Gainford G Elliott	4	73kg	51 50/1
12th	4	—	Granlahan (G) Equiano gelding. Dam 9.5f winner. Newcomer doesn't look an obvious hurdling type.	833U36	Patrick M O'Brien A McGuinness	4	73kg	151 150/1
1st	5	—	Kilmeaden (G) Useful stayer on Flat winner. Gelded prior to hurdles debut but unable to justify strong support, 7 lengths fifth and beaten when brought down after 2 out on hurdle debut at Limerick (16f, heavy, 2/1…	102-735	J J Slevin Donnacha O'Brien	4	73kg	12 11/1
3rd	6	—	Kizlyar (G) T Promising ex-French 1m4f Flat winner for M. Delzangles. Started life for new yard with a promising hurdle debut fifth at Cork but easy-to-back when ninth of 19 in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f…	321-011	Phillip Enright J P O'Brien	4	73kg	15 14/1
2nd	7	—	Madness D'elle (G) FAV Finished third of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Auteuil on debut for Mlle D. Mele in May last year. That form looks to have plenty of substance and highly encouraging that he gets the vote of confidence f…	32100/	Paul Townend W P Mullins	4	73kg	1.36 4/11
5th	8	—	Mino Des Mottes (G) Won 8-runner bumper in France in July (runner-up a subsequent winner on hurdle debut). Not knocked about on first start for top connections when fourth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at this course (16.5f,…	45202-1	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	4	73kg	8.50 15/2
13th	9	—	Nile Star (G) Cloth of Stars gelding. Half-brother to French hurdler Lou Princess. Dam, ran twice over hurdles in France, half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (19f winner) Scarlet Row. Runner-up on first of 2 star…	000-5	Donagh Meyler R O'Sullivan	4	73kg	151 150/1
14th	10	—	Ray Gun (G) Fair middle-distance Flat winner. Step backwards from hurdle debut when thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 20/1) 9 days ago. Hard to fancy this side of handicaps.	800P-P9	Alex Harvey J P Flavin	4	73kg	201 200/1
9th	11	—	Royal Belief (G) Modest maiden on the Flat. First run since leaving John S. O'Donoghue when fifth of 11 in juvenile hurdle (125/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 17 days ago, merely making late gains. Likely to…	00050-	Ben Harvey C Collins	4	73kg	201 200/1
—	12	—	Starword (G) Slipped Up Hails from a family his yard know well and shaped like one for the longer-term when eleventh of 15 in juvenile hurdle (80/1) at Leopardstown (18f, good to soft) on NH debut 14 days ago.	0	Alix Balfe Francis Casey	4	73kg	251 250/1
11th	13	—	Stone Rulya (G) Fair maiden on the Flat for Ger Lyons and offered little on hurdle debut (200/1). Best to look elsewhere.	6008-4	Paddy Cody E Doyle	4	73kg	251 250/1
10th	14	—	Wolfpack (G) Fair 1m Flat winner for James Ferguson. Unfancied in the market on hurdle debut, behind when unseated rider last in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 50/1) on NH debut 16 days ago. May prov…	8109-49	Danny Gilligan G Elliott	4	73kg	67 66/1
6th	15	—	Concert Party (F) Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon but no impact on hurdle debut (150/1) and is probably one for later on.	5110-95	Daniel King D Hogan	4	69.9kg	151 150/1
8th	16	—	Simple Things (F) H Promising third of 14 in juvenile hurdle on debut and best forgiven latest run at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 22 days ago, when refusing to settle. Hood on first time and remains open to progress.	7862-25	Mark Walsh J P Dempsey	4	69.9kg	34 33/1
