5th	1	—	Spirou (G) Fairly useful French juvenile hurdle winner who defied market expectations and a 28-month absence to make a winning stable/British debut at Newbury 2m in March, picking up well to lead in the dying s…	21/1	Paul O'Brien Harry Derham	6	76.2kg	7 6/1
8th	2	—	Whimsy (M) FAV Has been in fine form following the application of cheekpieces, finishing third in a mares listed handicap on her latest hurdles start, prior to a pair of fairly useful placed efforts on the Flat las…	214/3-32	James Smith A McCann	7	76.2kg	5 4/1
11th	3	—	Saveforarainyday (M) H Crystal Ocean mare ran out a decisive winner in a first-time hood at Limerick in February. Well held in a competitive race on her handicap bow at Fairyhouse subsequently, but she's surely better than…	4-6410	Mark Walsh G P Cromwell	5	75.7kg	21 20/1
4th	4	—	Arslan (G) €180,000 point recruit who made the most of a good opportunity in a Thurles maiden in March but wasn't seen to anything like best effect when seventh of 21 on handicap debut at Fairyhouse. This shoul…	3-32217	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	6	75.3kg	10 9/1
7th	5	—	High Court Cave (G) Point/bumper winner who finished second in a competitive 20-runner race at the Galway Festival (2¾m) prior to landing the odds in a Downpatrick (2¼m) maiden last September, and he's very much unexpos…	0/217-65	Mr O McGill N C Kelly	6	75.3kg	7 6/1
12th	6	—	Spy (G) P Solid fourth in a listed handicap hurdle at Listowel last season and was clearly in fine heart when ending a long losing run on the Flat at Dundalk in December. Worth considering back over jumps, esp…	1430-10	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	7	75.3kg	26 25/1
19th	7	—	Positive Energy (G) Went backwards in this sphere following a winning hurdle debut at Navan last spring. Has since left M. D. O'Callaghan and faces an uphill task at the weights on handicap/stable debut.	1640/95	Mr P J Cawley B Cawley	5	74.8kg	101 100/1
—	8	—	Tatateo (G) Pulled Up PT Dual winner around 2m in maiden/novice company but turned in a rare poor effort over hurdles when well beaten at Fairyhouse last time. Likely to come up short, even if refitted cheekpieces have the d…	024910	Josh Williamson D Hogan	5	74.8kg	51 50/1
14th	9	—	Teed Up (G) Has been going through the motions over hurdles since running a stormer to finish fourth in a competitive handicap at the Galway Festival last summer, but at least merits a market check given who tra…	480000-	Ricky Doyle E Mullins	9	74.8kg	67 66/1
2nd	10	—	Pioneer Pete (G) Justified support when making the most of a good opportunity in a Wetherby maiden in late-March. Could be interesting now sent handicapping by yard who did well at this Festival last year and have en…	224312-	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	6	73.9kg	6.50 11/2
—	11	—	Barrys Spirit (G) Had excuses in bumpers prior to making a successful hurdling debut at Downpatrick and is best not judged on his final start for Gavin Cromwell in a Grade 3 last November. May do better now sent handi…	9415-	Sean Flanagan A Murray	5	73.5kg	21 20/1
6th	12	—	Chichester Park (G) Has remained in good form since opening his account at Thurles in December, and having been far from ideally placed when eighth of 19 on handicap debut at Down Royal in March, he's fancied to do bett…	5386-26	Daniel King A J Martin	6	73.5kg	15 14/1
—	13	—	Dee's Lady (M) Pulled Up PT Successful on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown in early-March and confirmed that improvement when runner-up on first start over fences at Downpatrick. She's low mileage and cannot be discounted …	22-9812	Keith Donoghue J P Dempsey	6	73.5kg	15 14/1
13th	14	—	Nelson Muntz (G) Again wasn't seen to best effect in this sphere when third of 5 in a Fairyhouse novice on latest hurdle start, but he should find this run to suit and makes each-way appeal on the back of a pipe-open…	4048-02	Cian Quirke D H Kelly	7	73.5kg	26 25/1
17th	15	—	Our Uncle Jack (G) H Made it back-to-back handicaps in heavy ground at Fairyhouse in February and resumed progress when third in a fairly useful handicap at Clonmel (soft) on his latest start. Likely to face less-testing…	5-711P3	J J Burke M P Fitzgerald	10	73.5kg	41 40/1
15th	16	—	Sonny May (G) T Landed the second leg of a double here last season but things clearly haven't gone to plan since falling at Naas this time last year.	F09P0/9	Sean O'Keeffe D Hickey	9	73.5kg	101 100/1
3rd	17	—	Theflyingbee (M) Likeable mare shaped with promise in a pair of handicaps here last winter and posted another creditable effort when third in a mares handicap at Bellewstown last time. No surprise to see her in the m…	55533-2	Mr J R Martin F G Hand	9	73.5kg	21 20/1
16th	18	—	Day Trader (G) Hasn't kicked on from a breakthrough success over hurdles at Listowel, though wasn't ideally placed on her latest hurdle start and was probably having a pipe-opener on her return to the Flat last tim…	83/06-00	Danny Gilligan A J Martin	5	73kg	51 50/1
—	19	—	Withabitofluk (G) Pulled Up P Debut bumper winner posted a fairly useful effort when fifth in a novice hurdle at Naas last season and likely needed the run following 13 months off at Fairyhouse in early-April. Cannot be totally d…	55/0P-22	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	7	73kg	41 40/1
18th	20	—	Bridgehead (G) Handicap debutant is potentially well treated on the form of his Bellewstown maiden win in July 2024, though there wasn't enough encouragement in his comeback run on the Flat to make him of serious i…	2341/0-2	Donagh Meyler N Meade	7	72.6kg	34 33/1
—	21	—	Woodstream Lad (G) Pulled Up B Decisive winner of a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last July but returns in blinkers, following a laboured effort in a handicap chase there the following month.	33PP-25	Miss P Elvin P J Rothwell	9	72.6kg	101 100/1
—	22	—	Lincoln Du Seuil (G) Unseated Rider HT French bumper winner hasn't stood much racing and proved no more tractable for the fitting of a first-time tongue strap when down the field on handicap bow at Fairyhouse.	1/6-030	Jack Kennedy W P Mullins	5	72.1kg	34 33/1
1st	23	—	Avalo (G) Strong-travelling sort had been knocking on the door in handicaps before finishing well beaten under softer conditions at Cheltenham in November. He should find this a much more suitable test and isn…	332201-	Sam Ewing Peter Fahey	7	71.7kg	15 14/1
9th	24	—	Our Lucky Lady (M) Free-going sort readily opened her hurdles account at the second time of asking and reproduced that form when runner-up in a Naas novice last November. The switch to a big-field handicap ought to sui…	3129-	Cian Cullinan P G Fahey	5	71.7kg	29 28/1
10th	25	—	In My Teens (F) H Useful Flat performer hasn't built on a promising hurdle debut but is the type to do better now handicapping, her mark potentially a lenient one given her ability on the level.	122-916	Simon Torrens G P Cromwell	4	69.4kg	9 8/1
—	26	—	Half A Chance (G) P Went close on a couple of occasions last year, and having likely needed the run in the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton on his latest start, he's entitled to be in the mix if lining up. RESERVE.	340-4U3	Reserve 1 J J Hanlon	7	70.8kg	34 33/1
—	27	—	Paul's Dream (M) Held her form well for most of last year, winning twice over this trip, but she clearly wasn't over her Cheltenham fall when trailing the field at Navan in November. RESERVE.	—	Reserve 2 A Mullins	7	70.8kg	34 33/1
—	28	—	Walhaan (G) P Out of sorts in this sphere last year and it's hard to be confident on the back of a below-part effort on the Flat at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago. RESERVE.	51-4380	Reserve 3 Ciaran Murphy	10	70.8kg	34 33/1
