1st	1	—	Bob Olinger (G) Veteran who was no match for Teahupoo in the Christmas Hurdle on reappearance, but he ran a stormer from a less-than-ideal position when finishing third in defence of his Stayers' Hurdle crown at Che…	2/221-23	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	11	74.4kg	5 4/1
7th	2	—	Franciscan Rock (G) PT Enhanced a solid record at the Cheltenham Festival when runner-up in the BetMGM handicap there last month but he's finished well held in the previous 2 renewals of this event.	349527-	Josh Williamson M F Morris	9	74.4kg	29 28/1
—	3	—	Honesty Policy (G) Pulled Up T Grade 1 novice winner who backed up his creditable fifth in the Stayers at Cheltenham when third in the Liverpool Hurdle last time. Neither of those races got to the bottom of him, and he remains wit…	112-353	H Cobden G Elliott	6	74.4kg	7 6/1
2nd	4	—	Jimmy Du Seuil (G) Very smart 2025 Coral Cup winner who remains unexposed over staying trips, though he has fallen short in Grade 1 company to date, most recently when third in a 2½ novice chase at Fairyhouse.	5/1-14F3	Paul Townend W P Mullins	7	74.4kg	10 9/1
5th	5	—	Kawaboomga (G) Lightly-raced 6-y-o who had strong form in maidens last season, and he took a notable step forward from his reappearance when runner-up in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse (2½m) earlier this month. Still far …	13/21-42	Mark Walsh W P Mullins	6	74.4kg	6 5/1
4th	6	—	Meet And Greet (G) P Useful hurdler and posted his best effort over fences when runner-up at Down Royal last time. Cheekpieces go on for the return to hurdles, but he's likely to be out of his depth, as was the case in t…	2P-7582	Phillip Enright O McKiernan	10	74.4kg	151 150/1
3rd	7	—	Teahupoo (G) FAV B Again looked the one to beat in this division when an impressive winner of the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown. There were mitigating factors for his subsequent sixth in the Stayers at Cheltenham an…	221-116	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	9	74.4kg	2.25 5/4
6th	8	—	Jetara (M) B Finished third in the 2025 renewal of this race but hasn't looked the same force in recent months, finishing well held in the David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham on her latest start.	33-3735	Sam Ewing Mrs J Harrington	8	71.2kg	21 20/1
