1st	12	—	Barry Lyndon (G) TP Useful hurdler who made perfect start in this sphere when landing maiden at Fairyhouse on return in October and back to that sort of form when creditable 15½ lengths third of 17 to Clonmeen in handic…	P/15631-	J J Slevin D A McLoughlin	8	67.1kg	17 16/1

—	15	—	Beckett Rock (G) FAV Pulled Up Useful hurdler who produced easily his most encouraging effort over fences when runner-up over shorter trip at Gowran in February. Shaped well back over the smaller obstacles at Cheltenham since and …	0-05425	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	7	66.2kg	5.50 9/2
4th	16	—	Invictus Machin (G) H Ran right up to best form, back from 6 months off, when close second of 16 in listed handicap at Leopardstown (2¾m, soft) 61 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and another bold bid looks on the cards.	F9224-P	H Cobden G P Cromwell	8	66.2kg	17 16/1
—	17	—	Iceberg Theory (G) Pulled Up P A useful winning hurdler who has made a very promising start over fences, landing maiden at Limerick in May before returning from 6 months off with an emphatic win in Cork handicap in November. Shape…	6P2-115	Conor Stone-Walsh P Nolan	7	65.8kg	11 10/1

—	21	—	Lucky Lyreen (G) B Useful hurdler who got off the mark over fences at Down Royal (3m, heavy) in January. Not really built on that yet, though, and others appeal more.	905105/	Josh Williamson G Elliott	8	64kg	26 25/1
—	22	—	No Time To Wait (G) Pulled Up VT Error-prone sort who hasn't scored since 2023 and application of blinkers had little effect at Cheltenham last time. Visor back on. Hard to recommend.	22U04P	Michael Kenneally J C McConnell	8	63.5kg	26 25/1
