Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Meet And Greet (G) P Hasn't taken to chasing this season but return to hurdles will suit and not on a bad mark on old form. Headgear on.	2P-7582	James Duggan O McKiernan	10	75.3kg	17 16/1
4th	2	—	Timeless Treaty (G) Coped best with testing conditions when the wide-margin winner of a 6-runner novice at Thurles in February. Good efforts in defeat next 2 starts and back in a handicap now.	332244	Josh Williamson G Elliott	6	73kg	7 6/1
6th	3	—	Grann's Boy (G) FAV Improved again when winning at Listowel in September and backed that up in between a couple of good runs on the Flat when second at Galway. Remains of interest.	01260-9	Darragh O'Keeffe H Rogers	6	70.8kg	6.50 11/2
8th	4	—	Shabby Hill (G) Point winner who confirmed promise of hurdling debut when winning maiden at Punchestown and did well to follow up at Navan 16 days ago. Remains unexposed going into handicaps.	1/511	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	7	70.8kg	8 7/1
—	5	—	Welonlyhavedone (G) Unseated Rider Debut hurdles winner at Galway in October and posted an excellent third in 2m novice at Navan in January. Pulled up (in extreme conditions) at Thurles last time but remains with potential for shrewd …	81FP3P	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	70.8kg	17 16/1
10th	6	—	Eagles Reign (G) B Has gone well fresh in the past and bounced back to form after 3 months off when second of 17 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Naas 4 weeks ago, shaping as if a return to further will suit.	02-U0P2	Shane Markey R O'Sullivan	6	70.3kg	13 12/1
9th	7	—	Kovanis (G) Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Highly tried after but worth another chance with sights lowered a bit.	631399/	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	6	70.3kg	17 16/1
—	8	—	Fiveonefive (G) Won a relatively valuable Cartmel handicap back in June but disappointing in 4 of 5 starts since.	P00-843	Jordan Gainford C Collins	8	68.9kg	21 20/1
7th	9	—	Hgranca De Thaix (G) Better for return when just denied at Leopardstown and backed that up when runner-up at Navan. Not quite in same form at Naas last time.	8P-0226	Sean Flanagan B Connell	9	68.9kg	12 11/1
—	10	—	Jony R (G) H Fairly useful dual winner at Downpatrick this season, though he found life tougher back up in class last 2 starts.	1F7144	James Bowen S R B Crawford	7	68.9kg	15 14/1
—	11	—	Arch Empire (G) Mixed record over hurdles this season, not seen since a below-par run at Down Royal in November.	3497-68	Danny Gilligan G Elliott	6	68kg	17 16/1
—	12	—	Eclipse Chaser (G) Pulled Up T Won maiden hurdle at Navan in September. Decent fourth in Grade 3 there next time but struggled in handicaps since.	40PP-38	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	6	68kg	15 14/1
5th	13	—	Fad Eadrainn (G) PT Won a minor event here in November but has struggled in handicaps since.	410P35	Simon Torrens P T Foley	8	67.6kg	19 18/1
—	14	—	Healys Pub (G) Showed improved form when off the mark in maiden hurdles at the third attempt at Naas last month. Step up in trip likely to suit on handicap bow so worth a look.	7-521	Phillip Enright O McKiernan	5	67.6kg	9 8/1
11th	15	—	Slane Hill (G) B Winner at Navan last season and continued in good heart over hurdles. Shaped as if amiss when last seen in August.	153-345	Mr F Maguire B Connell	9	67.6kg	34 33/1
2nd	16	—	Blue Mosque (M) Has been rather expensive to follow since her first 2 wins but took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 17 at Naas 4 weeks ago.	72-0042	Donagh Meyler N Meade	6	67.1kg	7 6/1
3rd	17	—	Buachaillbocht (G) PT Won a novice chase here on final start last season but hasn't kicked on this season, failing to impress with both his attitude and jumping at Naas last month. Back over hurdles now and headgear chang…	1-360P3	Mark Walsh T M Walsh	8	67.1kg	19 18/1
1st	18	—	Fierce Handay (G) FAV Off the mark second start in a handicap here (2m) in December but things haven't gone to plan since. Not taken lightly back up in trip.	412461	H Cobden N Meade	6	67.1kg	6.50 11/2
—	19	—	Catch The Beast (G) T Returned to form from out of the blue when second of 16 at Naas and backed that up to a large extent when fifth there 4 weeks ago.	PF-6P25	Sean O'Keeffe E Cawley	8	65.3kg	15 14/1
12th	20	—	Must Go Now (G) Turned in his best effort of the season in first-time cheekpieces when third of 18 at Cork 18 days ago but has work to do from out of the handicap.	98309/0	Sarah Kavanagh E Cawley	9	63.5kg	21 20/1
—	21	—	El Champo (G) Pulled Up P Back-to-back winner over fences earlier in the season but saw his sequence of good efforts checked on a rare drop to 2m after 9 weeks off at Gowran last month. Does have a lower mark to exploit back …	43PP9-4	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	8	63.5kg	34 33/1
