3rd	1	—	Its Bilbo (G) Got back on the up returned to hurdling after a stint chasing with a gutsy success in 2m listed handicap at Limerick in late December. His failure to fire upped in trip in a hot race at Cheltenham la…	22-4310	Patrick M O'Brien H De Bromhead	5	75.3kg	12 11/1
—	2	—	Balko D'ange (G) Useful hurdler who was running well before the turn of the year, including when winning at Navan. Hard to fancy on this year's efforts, though, especially given he's fallen 2 of his last 3 outings.	513F6F	Non Runner P Fenton	6	73.5kg	21 20/1
—	3	—	Monbeg Park (G) Pulled Up P Better known for chase exploits in recent years, but has never really got going this season and needs the switch back to hurdling to spark a revival.	424049	Eoin Staples Jack Foley	9	73.5kg	26 25/1
11th	4	—	Pray Tell (G) Useful hurdler who won at this track in 2024 but lightly raced in recent times and went the wrong way from promising chasing debut when falling heavily last time. Comes with risks attached.	52F06-4	John Shinnick D Kenneally	10	73.5kg	26 25/1
12th	5	—	Open Secret (G) T Largely progressive over hurdles since joining this yard, scoring at Naas in December before a couple of good efforts in Graded company. Found Cheltenham beyond him last time but should be able to fi…	421420	Jordan Gainford G Elliott	5	72.6kg	17 16/1
13th	6	—	County Final (G) HT Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who was a good head second of 5 to Kazansky in Grade 2 hurdle (9/4) at Limerick (23f, heavy) 38 days ago. Clearly wasn't 100% on the day when pulled up last time and…	5122P0	Aidan Kelly E McNamara	6	72.1kg	8.50 15/2
14th	7	—	D Art D Art (G) Course winner but badly out of sorts in recent times and is hard to fancy.	80/P90-1	Ricky Doyle T Cooper	7	72.1kg	23 22/1
7th	8	—	I'm Slippy (G) FAV Lightly-raced winner but few positives to take form last couple of starts, including on handicap debut last time. Bounce back required.	1-12507	Phillip Enright R Tyner	5	72.1kg	5.50 9/2
1st	9	—	Sainte Lucie (M) Ran best race since winning stable debut in 2024 when shaping well in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month, keeping on when not getting a clear run. That was her first try at this sort of trip an…	570071/	Charlie O'Dwyer W P Mullins	5	71.2kg	6.50 11/2
—	10	—	Autumn Twist (G) Pulled Up Won twice over hurdles and once on the Flat between May and July. Should strip fitter for recent outing at Dundalk but he's never raced over this far which tempers enthusiasm.	185P6-2	Philip Donovan D Hogan	5	70.3kg	41 40/1
16th	11	—	Coyote Spirit (G) P Broke duck over hurdles when making the most of a good opportunity in February. The form of that success is not strong given his market rivals turned in below-par efforts but he's relatively lightly …	43410-6	Josh Williamson G Elliott	8	69.9kg	11 10/1
4th	12	—	Larzac (G) FAV T Hasn't lived up to French promise since joining top connections which was fair enough given he'd initially been thrown in at the deep end. Latest flop came in much calmer waters, however, so now swit…	206-84	H Cobden W P Mullins	5	69.4kg	5.50 9/2
10th	13	—	Wholelotofbusiness (G) T Won at Killarney before good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal 155 days ago. Can give a good account if seeing out this longer trip (bred to stay) on reappearance.	2120-38	Gary Noonan E McCarthy	7	69.4kg	23 22/1
—	14	—	Sequoiaspirit (G) Pulled Up T Has just the one hurdles win to his name but shaped much better than the bare result when eighth of 10 in handicap at this course 17 days ago, tiring 3 out on return from 5 months off. This is a deep…	2568P-1	Liam Quinlan R Hackett	9	68kg	19 18/1
15th	15	—	Tassarolo (G) T Won latest start over hurdles at slightly longer trip in October and comes into this on the back of a solid effort on the Flat, This may prove too competitive for him, though.	5/31210-	Gavin Brouder D Hogan	5	68kg	34 33/1
8th	16	—	Cappa Hill (G) T Course winner who fell well short in pursuit of a hat-trick when last seen. Off since so may not have been right that day and has fewer miles on the clock than most of these.	1188-75	Jake Coen Sean Allen	6	66.7kg	34 33/1
5th	17	—	Ifallgoeswell (G) Best effort when second of 11 in maiden hurdle at Thurles in January. Unsuited by drop in trip when only third in similar event last time and step back up in distance looks sure to suit for handicap …	422351	Ethan O'Sullivan C Byrnes	6	66.7kg	13 12/1
2nd	18	—	Rockymountainbleu (G) P Yet to win handicap company but can't be faulted for his consistency and not without hope if first-time cheekpieces can bring about some progress.	847432	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	8	66.7kg	13 12/1
9th	19	—	Elusive Ogie (G) Winner of a maiden hurdle at Limerick in May and proving consistent in handicaps since, looking suited by the step up to this sort of trip last time. Fewer miles on the clock than most of these so co…	359-F05	Conor Clarke E McCarthy	5	66.2kg	29 28/1
6th	20	—	Butter Fingers (G) Didn't achieve much over fences earlier in the season but is a more solid proposition over hurdles and ran one of better races last month. More required here but he should stay this far.	50436-1	Shane Markey R O'Sullivan	5	64.9kg	23 22/1
