—	2	—	Frankie John (G) Useful bumper winner typically gave his running when fifth (behind Love Me Tender) in Grade 1 at Leopardstown in early-February, though is unlikely to find life any easier in a deep contest here.	315548-	D G Hogan D Hogan	6	71.2kg	34 33/1
2nd	3	—	Generous Risk (G) Expensive point recruit settled better than in bumpers when making a successful hurdle debut at Leopardstown last time. The manner of that victory suggests he's well worth a crack at this level and n…	3-23612	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	6	71.2kg	23 22/1
1st	4	—	He's On Fire (G) FAV Narrowly beaten by a fellow improver on final start in France and looked a useful prospect when landing the odds with ease at Carlisle on stable debut in February (held Grade 1 entries at the time). …	4621	Paul Townend W P Mullins	5	71.2kg	4 3/1
—	5	—	Hipop De Loire (G) Pulled Up P Useful stayer on Flat who found the demands of an Albert Bartlett too much on just his third start over hurdles. At least has sights lowered here, for all he doesn't look the stable's leading hope.	4630-79	Sean O'Keeffe W P Mullins	9	71.2kg	17 16/1
3rd	6	—	I Started A Joke (G) P Fast-improving hurdler who readily landed the odds in Punchestown novice before finishing strong-travelling second on handicap debut at Leopardstown (2m) in early-February. Tackles longer trip in fir…	434123	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	7	71.2kg	12 11/1
6th	7	—	Kiely's Place (G) Successful on the second of 2 outings in points and while his pedigree is far from flashy, there was plenty to like about his hurdle debut success at Clonmel in late-February, and he has to be respec…	P1-16	Mr P W Mullins W P Mullins	6	71.2kg	6.50 11/2
9th	8	—	Ksar Fatal (G) Impressive bumper debut winner for Willie Mullins, who having disappointed on final start for that yard, overcame a 10-month absence to make a winning hurdle/stable debut at Punchestown in February. …	118-1	Sean Flanagan B Connell	6	71.2kg	9.50 17/2
8th	9	—	Lazare De Star (G) H Underlined promising start over hurdles when useful ¾-length second to Heads Up (who'd dictated) in listed novice at Punchestown in February, and while very much a chaser in the making, he looks sure…	2-2122	Danny Gilligan G Elliott	5	71.2kg	13 12/1
10th	10	—	Royal Gladiator (G) Chased home subsequent listed bumper winner on bumper debut and improved from a promising first effort over hurdles when finding plenty to land a 2½m Cork maiden last time. Shaped more like a stayer …	U4-241	Keith Donoghue Ian Donoghue	5	71.2kg	26 25/1
5th	11	—	Saint Baco (G) Half-brother to yard's high-class jumper Saint Roi who reunites with Danny Mullins (1-1), having showed up fairly well in the Baring Bingham at Cheltenham before finishing tamely (fell last). Still o…	3-16F5	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	5	71.2kg	8 7/1
7th	12	—	You Proof (G) Point runner-up proved too free on sole start in bumpers but looked a useful prospect when making a successful hurdles debut at Limerick in December. Open to improvement, despite that form taking a f…	2/5-17	Brian Hayes W P Mullins	6	71.2kg	29 28/1
