3rd	1	—	Our Uncle Jack (G) H Started 2026 with wins around 2m on heavy ground here and at Fairyhouse. Seemed unsuited by the step back up to 2½m when pulled up back at Fairyhouse last time so this return to shorter should be in …	5-711P3	Michael Kenneally M P Fitzgerald	10	77.6kg	8 7/1
10th	2	—	Palace Boy (G) Did well on AW Flat for Ralph Smith in winter 2023/24 but off for 19 months prior to well held at Wolverhampton in December (only start for Barry Brennan). Has changed stable again of this return to …	1620/0-0	Mr P W Gleeson J F Gleeson	9	76.2kg	51 50/1
12th	3	—	Stay In The Game (G) Fourth in both completed starts in 2m maiden hurdles. Held in maidens on all-weather Flat last twice. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not an obvious one.	F0-9133	Danny Mullins J J Hanlon	5	72.6kg	67 66/1
9th	4	—	Crohan Lady (M) T Improved third of 17 in 2m Thurles handicap in February (final start for John Gerard Lonergan). Similar form when eighth of 13 at Limerick (2m again) for new yard 11 days ago.	3891-42	Patrick M O'Brien Miss E Lalor	8	71.7kg	13 12/1
—	5	—	Tingarran Express (M) C&D winner just over a year ago. Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in August. 16/1, remote fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.5f, heavy) on return 35 days ago. Entitled to be sharper now…	514-629	Darragh O'Keeffe Miss D O'Shea	9	71.7kg	17 16/1
6th	6	—	Silent Selector (G) T Latest win in hurdle at Tramore (20.5f) in August. Fifth of 7 over the same trip back there in October. Off since and probably best watched back at shorter.	156-857	Philip Donovan Gerard O'Leary	6	71.2kg	17 16/1
4th	7	—	Gino Bella (M) FAV T Tongue strap on first time (retained), very good second of 22 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Came well clear of the third so a 4 lb nudge looks more than fair.	624P-31	Simon Torrens P T Foley	6	70.8kg	3.25 9/4
2nd	8	—	Market Ready (G) Fair form when third at Cork (2m, good to soft) in November. Better than result when fourth of 18 in maiden at Gowran (2m, heavy) 26 days ago. Respected handicap newcomer.	0/3423-4	Sean O'Keeffe S Aherne	5	70.8kg	8 7/1
1st	9	—	Blue Train (G) H Fair Flat winner. Yet to build on hurdle debut fourth at Fairyhouse in December but that could change now handicapping for the first time in this sphere. All the more interesting if backed.	4781/	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	4	70.3kg	3.50 5/2
—	10	—	Keiths Boy (G) Unseated Rider T Modest maiden. Too free when eighth of 11 in handicap at Naas (19f, soft) 29 days ago. Bounce back needed returned to shorter.	873348	Ben Kennedy S Fahey	5	69.4kg	17 16/1
11th	11	—	Marlpark (G) Course winner. Respectable second of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, heavy, 33/1) 7 days ago, having run of race from front.	200-4PF	Daniel King J P Ryan	7	68kg	15 14/1
5th	12	—	Wise Man (G) Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 21 in maiden hurdle (300/1) at Cork (2½m, good to soft) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut from a mark which demands improvement.	549005	R Deegan D Hassett	5	66.7kg	34 33/1
7th	13	—	Elbow Lane (G) Well held in 3 maiden hurdles over 2m on soft/heavy ahead of this switch to handicaps.	37097-	Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	5	65.8kg	67 66/1
8th	14	—	Old Kenmare (G) Placed in his first 2 handicaps at this venue last spring, going down by only 2 lengths over 17f on the second occasion. Not seen again until falling heavily 4 out at Cork 14 days ago (too far out to…	032/F84-	Calum Hogan Eamon Courtney	7	65.3kg	10 9/1
