5th	1	—	The Yellow Clay (G) P Landed a 4-timer in Naas Grade 1 last season before career-best second in the Baring Bingham at Cheltenham. Looked a bit unlucky to fall in the BetMGM Cup (sent off 6/1) at this year's Festival and i…	12F-25F	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
8th	2	—	Glen Kiln (G) Confirmed himself a decidedly smart performer when landing Grade 3 Limestone Lad at Naas in January, and though he could bag the lead again here, this is a deeper race.	12U218	Brian Hayes D H Kelly	7	72.6kg	9 8/1
3rd	3	—	Storm Heart (G) FAV Smart hurdler shaped better than the result when third in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham, finishing with more to give having been derailed by a bad mistake 2 out, and he's surely capable of making an i…	24331/	Paul Townend W P Mullins	6	72.6kg	3.25 9/4
—	4	—	Blizzard Of Oz (G) Pulled Up Smart chaser took his record under Paul Townend to 3 wins from 4 starts with a confidence-boosting success on return to hurdles at Thurles. His stable jockey looks elsewhere now that he's now pitched…	P0P1P-5	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	8	71.2kg	21 20/1
7th	5	—	Bowensonfire (G) H Thoroughly likeable type who found marked improvement to see off gambled-on I Started A Joke when landing Leopardstown double but was unable to sustain his effort off a career-high mark when midfield…	21107-4	Jordan Gainford G Elliott	6	71.2kg	15 14/1
4th	6	—	Brewin'upastorm (G) PT Likeable veteran, who having won the race twice previously, showed plenty of ability remains when runner-up in Grade 2 National Spirit at Fontwell in February. Faces a much tougher task here, however…	8/5542-4	S Bowen O Murphy	13	71.2kg	34 33/1
6th	7	—	Farren Glory (G) P Beaten less than 2 lengths behind Storm Heart in Grade 3 Red Mills at Gowran in February but ran no sort of race in the BetMGM Cup last time, and the stable look to have better chances elsewhere.	333P6/3	Danny Gilligan G Elliott	9	71.2kg	34 33/1
2nd	8	—	Kawaboomga (G) Very lightly-raced 6-y-o whose maiden form from last season (including course win) could hardly have worked out better, and he made a most encouraging return (not given hard time) behind Storm Heart …	13/21-42	Mark Walsh W P Mullins	6	71.2kg	3.50 5/2
1st	9	—	Slade Steel (G) PT Yet to add to his 2024 Supreme Hurdle success, underperforming on handicap chase debut in the Golden Miller at the Festival this time around, though he isn't one to dismiss lightly returning to hurdl…	22-2B26	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	8	71.2kg	7 6/1
—	10	—	Grainne A Chroi (M) Pulled Up Low-mileage 7-y-o resumed progress with success in Grade 3 Quevega Mares Hurdle at Punchestown in February, though this is likely to prove a bridge too far.	142/1P-3	John Shinnick Miss M Harding	7	69.4kg	41 40/1
