1st	1	—	Fleur In The Park (G) Has taken well to chasing, winning 2m Wexford maiden in October. Went close in 2m Punchestown Grade 3 next time and might have needed a recent Thurles outing after a break.	3-21251	Cian Quirke A Slattery	7	74.4kg	23 22/1
4th	2	—	Jacob's Ladder (G) P Much improved since fitted with cheekpieces, winning course maiden, a handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival and a Grade 3 novice at Navan (all around 2m on soft/heavy). Also second to Kappa Jy Pyke …	312114	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	74.4kg	9 8/1
