—	2	—	Goody Four Shoes (G) Fair maiden hurdler but, after 9 months off, wasn't able to match that level when fourth of 9 in maiden at Thurles (20.9f, heavy) on debut over fences 28 days ago, making mistakes. Improvement requir…	P/45F-13	Harry Sexton T Gibney	8	75.3kg	17 16/1
—	3	—	Haveigotnewsforyou (G) T Fairly useful form when landing 11-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f) in spring 2024. However, absent 16 months prior to having a considerate introduction when last of 9 in a Gowran maiden chase…	51/9U-4	Simon Torrens Colm Murphy	7	75.3kg	51 50/1
—	4	—	Strutter (G) H Made a winning start in handicap hurdles for Nicky Henderson and, after 7 months off, followed up on stable debut in 11-runner event at Limerick (20f, soft, 2/1) in December 2024. Off since and whils…	207/11-7	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	7	75.3kg	4 3/1

—	6	—	Poet's Gale (G) Related to above-average jumpers but he's looked a work-in-progress in bumpers/maiden hurdles in recent months. Likely to flourish at a later stage, probably when handicapping in this sphere.	8076F0	Daniel King A J Martin	5	73.5kg	51 50/1
—	7	—	Lep Around (M) Struggled for form last season, including when well held on chase debut, and after 6-month absence off she offered little when twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (18f, good to soft, 25/1) i…	0063-03	Philip Byrnes Miss M Harding	8	72.1kg	51 50/1
—	8	—	Neon Diamond (M) P Won a maiden hurdle impressively last July, leading 3 out and going clear. Fourth of 7 in a maiden chase at Naas (20.1f) 38 days ago, making headway under pressure early in straight but awkward at th…	54255-P	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	72.1kg	6 5/1
