2nd	2	—	Small Town Hero (G) FAV PT 5 wins from 9 runs this season. Pulled up in first-time blinkers at Leopardstown on most recent outing but appeals as the type to bounce back quickly.	1141-3P	Mr J Dunne Ian Donoghue	6	73.9kg	3.25 9/4

—	5	—	He's Home Again (G) Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Cork (24.2f, soft) in November. Eased 1 lb.	04U5-62	Philip Byrnes E Cawley	8	67.6kg	11 10/1
5th	6	—	Millie B (M) Multiple point winner who made little impact in trio of maiden hurdles last year and needs a big step forward now handicapping.	56/553P-	Phillip Enright Miss E Lalor	8	63.5kg	6 5/1
