4th	1	—	Bally Free (G) FAV P Lightly raced gelding who won 11-runner 3m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (10/3) 63 days ago, more straightforward in the finish and digging deep to lead again on the run-in. Already looks a thorough st…	1-41	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	6	69.9kg	1.83 5/6
1st	2	—	Lord Rouge (G) H Point winner who looked a good prospect when winning on 17f Cork hurdle debut. Only eighth of 10 in 2½m Grade 1 at Naas (33/1) 36 days ago but retains potential with his sights lowered slightly. Hood…	2/18	Danny Gilligan G Elliott	5	69.9kg	5.50 9/2

5th	4	—	Walks The Talk (M) H Fairly useful hurdler. Good second of 5 in novice hurdle (10/3) at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) 14 days ago, although no match for winner.	411525	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	7	68kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	5	—	Changeyourstars (M) HT Second in Fairyhouse mares' maiden before going one better in similar company at Limerick (2½m, heavy) over Christmas, driven out. More will be needed to follow up here.	10/9212	Phillip Enright James King	6	66.7kg	11 10/1
