—	1	—	Must Go Now (G) Improved form when getting off the mark in handicap here (20f) last season. Yet to fire this term, sixteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 27 days ago (not persevered …	98309/0	Sarah Kavanagh E Cawley	9	75.7kg	13 12/1
—	2	—	Can Happen (G) Chased home fairly useful pair when third in Gowran maiden hurdle on debut in March. Likely campaigned with handicaps in mind since rejoining current yard and could do better.	73P0-19	Thomas O'Connor M Fahey	6	75.3kg	13 12/1
—	3	—	Free Flowing (G) Dug deep to win an 11-runner maiden hurdle at Galway in October 2023 but well held in a 2½m novice at the same track later that month and offered little returning from significant absence at Limerick…	716436/	John Shinnick N Lee	10	73kg	17 16/1
—	4	—	Galavanting George (G) Has shown promise in maidens, respectable fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, soft, 80/1) 35 days ago. Yard off the cold list with notable winner earlier this week and he can improve on …	06432F/	Eoin Staples G P Cromwell	5	73kg	11 10/1
—	5	—	Our Uncle Jack (G) H Back from a break, landing second hurdles win when making all (allowed his own way in front) in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, heavy) 16 days ago, won easily. Has 12 lb rise to overcome…	5-711P3	Michael Kenneally M P Fitzgerald	10	72.1kg	2.50 6/4
—	6	—	Dairy Force (G) H Better than ever to hit frame in pair of 2½m handicaps earlier in the season for Liam G. O'Brien. Drops back to 2m on first start for Gordon Elliott and this lightly-raced 7-y-o looks an interesting …	F2-0225	Josh Williamson G Elliott	7	71.7kg	4 3/1
—	7	—	Silent Guardian (G) H Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who has been campaigned with handicaps in mind. Should have more to offer on handicap hurdle bow.	86971/	Eoghan Finegan A McCann	5	71.7kg	13 12/1
—	8	—	Ballyedward (G) T Placed in points and has shaped as if one for handicaps in bumper/hurdle starts under Rules. Better expected on handicap debut.	0-36803	James Smith S R B Crawford	6	69.4kg	13 12/1
—	9	—	Build A Bridge (G) H Maiden got back on track when creditable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, good to soft, 18/1) 24 days ago. Ground is an unknown and would need to build on latest run to get off t…	544055	Harry Sexton A Sexton	5	68.9kg	13 12/1
—	10	—	Halsafari (G) Veteran course winner. Latest win in handicap hurdle at Cork (soft) in November. Seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Punchestown (19.5f, heavy, 10/1) 13 days ago, possibly finding race coming to soon.…	77364-6	Niall Moore J Barcoe	13	66.2kg	15 14/1
—	11	—	Felicity Smoak (F) Juvenile has yet to build on promise of hurdling debut, disappointed faced with more testing conditions on previous two starts. Others preferred.	58760-3	Aidan Kelly P Nolan	4	64kg	21 20/1
—	12	—	Ballyredinkingston (G) Placed in bumpers but fared no better on handicap bow when fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) 40 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.	000B-66	Brian Barry J P Ryan	6	63.5kg	26 25/1
