—	1	—	Acheron (G) Fair form on the Flat in France and matched that level when second of 6 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 11/4) when last seen 12 months ago, his only outing for Daniel James Murphy. Makes stable/hurdli…	U-002	Gavin Brouder J J Hanlon	5	75.3kg	9 8/1
—	2	—	Ballyhasty (G) Always behind on debut and again offered little when fifteenth of 18 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, heavy, 200/1) 2 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it.	00	Eoin Staples W J Austin	5	75.3kg	151 150/1
—	3	—	Dark Lieutenant (G) Modest form in 2 bumpers but has yet to make much impact in 3 starts over hurdles, tailed off when tenth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy, 33/1) 9 days ago.	956008	Richard Condon P A Fahy	5	75.3kg	67 66/1
—	4	—	Doctor Elvis (G) Promise when third in maiden hurdle at Punchestown on debut in 2023. Following an absence of over 2 years, tailed-off sixth of 10 in bumper at Naas (18.7f, heavy, 12/1) 18 days ago, but he could yet …	4220-2P	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	75.3kg	7 6/1
—	5	—	Killaney King (G) H Runner-up twice over hurdles last season and ran up to best when third of 19 in handicap at Navan in December. Rare below-par effort when eighth of 13 at the same course (20.2f, heavy, 8/1) 26 days a…	253832/	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	8	75.3kg	5.50 9/2
—	6	—	Lord Of The Locke (G) Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and has been brought along gradually over hurdles, seventh of 18 in maiden at Thurles (15.8f, heavy, 25/1) 2 weeks ago. Needs another run for a handicap mark.	6-9575	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	5	75.3kg	17 16/1
—	7	—	Salvador Peps (G) T El Salvador gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including 7f-1¼m winner Eutropius. Dam unraced. Tough ask on debut fitted with tongue strap.	UP	Michael J Doyle G M Doyle	6	75.3kg	51 50/1
—	8	—	The Ducks Walk (G) Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Down Around. Dam, maiden hurdler (stayed 21f), 9.4f/1¼m winner who stayed 1½m on Flat. Successful on second start in points in early-2025 but pulled up …	1P/70-74	Jordan Gainford N Dooly	8	75.3kg	34 33/1
—	9	—	True Harmony (G) Winning pointer but finished well beaten on Rules debut when thirteenth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Naas (18.7f, heavy, 50/1) 18 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.	08-9266	J J Slevin S Neville	6	75.3kg	101 100/1
—	10	—	Ballinaboola Gold (M) Showed little in bumpers and well held first 2 starts in maiden hurdles, though was in touch when unseating rider 4 out at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 300/1) 8 days ago. Still looks to face a difficult …	08-2579	Danny Mullins R Donohoe	5	72.1kg	101 100/1
—	11	—	Banphrionsa Alainn (M) Sent off at big odds (125/1) and was never involved when eleventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy) on debut 17 days ago. Likely to need more time.	0-	Adam Leahy A Mullins	5	72.1kg	101 100/1
—	12	—	Lunar Majesty (M) Well beaten on debut but offered a bit more when sixth of 7 in maiden hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 150/1) 3 weeks ago, albeit without landing a blow. Will be of more appeal in handicaps.	6636-56	Ross Berry Colm Murphy	5	72.1kg	26 25/1
—	13	—	Madness D'elle (G) Third at Auteuil on debut in May. After 8 months off, wasn't able to land the odds (4/11) but shaped best when second of 15 in juvenile maiden at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) a month ago, clear of rest…	32100/	Paul Townend W P Mullins	4	69.9kg	1.44 4/9
—	14	—	Blossom Trixie (F) Soldier of Fortune filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Ashtown Lad (2½m-3¼m winner) and Beg To Differ (winner up to 3m), stayed 29f. Dam unraced. Bred for further in time.	39	Mike O'Connor M Winters	4	66.7kg	34 33/1
—	15	—	Rebel Queen (F) Order of St George filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Donnie Devito, stays 3m. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut.	645/	Michael Kenneally C Motherway	4	66.7kg	51 50/1
