13th	1	—	The Banger Doyle (G) Out of sorts over fences when last seen in the autumn and needs return to hurdling to provide a major spark.	4/302-33	Miss O M Queally J Queally	10	75.7kg	23 22/1
5th	2	—	Hesgonethatway (G) FAV Proved a different proposition when running out a convincing winner of 12-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (15.7f, heavy) recently. Hit with 9 lb rise but that may not be enough to halt him with the sl…	006815	Miss P Elvin P J Rothwell	5	74.8kg	3.75 11/4
1st	3	—	Campbell Black (G) Matched previous form when fourth of 11 in maiden at this course (20f, good to soft, 12/1) last month. Into handicaps now and improvement needed.	35341	Ms L A Byrne William Harvey	6	74.4kg	6.50 11/2
4th	4	—	Oaks Soldier (G) Proved to be a disappointment when last of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 9/2) on most recent outing but worth another chance to build on earlier promise now handicapping.	3-45842	Ms A T O'Reilly Eamon Courtney	6	74.4kg	19 18/1
6th	5	—	A Nod To Getaway (G) B Latest win in chase here in October and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (22.6f, heavy, 14/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip with blinkers refitted.	131546	Miss M O'Sullivan P O'Flynn	9	73kg	9 8/1

11th	8	—	Duke Otto (G) C&D winner who wasn't at his best when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, soft) latest. Can make presence felt from this mark if recapturing pick of his form.	368P40-	Caragh Monaghan P J Flynn	8	72.1kg	17 16/1
14th	9	—	Happy Me (G) Fair maiden hurdler who ran about as well as could be expected when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 13/2) on most recent outing. Needs to back that up now returning to handicap c…	830-6P5	Miss N C Hennessy W J Burke	6	72.1kg	4.50 7/2
12th	10	—	Live Your Dreams (C) Showed his first form when eighth of 15 in maiden hurdle (200/1) at Punchestown (16f, heavy) 15 days ago, better placed than most. Makes handicap debut from what looks a stiff opening mark.	—	Ms K M Ryan W Durkan	5	71.7kg	51 50/1

8th	13	—	Mr Devlin (G) Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles and major step forward required now handicapping.	900800-	Miss G Benson Conor Maxwell	5	70.8kg	26 25/1
—	14	—	I'm Flattered (M) T Winner at Kilbeggan in August and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Punchestown (16.5f, good to soft) in January. Merits consideration.	78668-7	Miss A B O'Connor P Roche	6	68.5kg	13 12/1
