—	1	—	The Great Nudie (M) Below form 22 lengths third of 6 to Karia Des Blaises in listed mares novice (6/4) at Thurles (21.6f, soft) 50 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark looks a fair one on the pick of her efforts.	243143	Jack Kennedy C Bowe	6	75.3kg	7 6/1
6th	2	—	Mahon's Way (G) Fairly useful winning hurdler but not achieved that level over fences so far, just a creditable sixth of 15 in handicap chase at Tipperary in July having been sent off favourite (16.6f, good to soft)…	26/85-66	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	8	74.8kg	11 10/1
—	3	—	Park Of Kings (G) Unseated Rider T Yet to come close to matching hurdles form over fences, ninth of 12 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, heavy, 40/1) 47 days ago. Wasn't knocked about on that occasion and given his powerful connections,…	0059U0/	Eoin Staples P Nolan	8	74.4kg	10 9/1
5th	4	—	Ho My Lord (G) B Pulled up in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 102 days ago, tailed off when pulled up early in straight. Back down in trip with more severe headgear applied but others more persua…	35434P	Peter Smithers P Roche	8	71.7kg	10 9/1
—	5	—	Cloonainra (M) P Made a winning chase debut at Listowel in September. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for first time, fourth of 7 in novice chase at Down Royal (20.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Slight drop in trip will help …	59845-0	Dylan Kidd J C McConnell	7	70.8kg	11 10/1
—	6	—	Choccabloc (G) Fell T Patchy profile over fences, pulling up for the third time in 4 starts at Fairyhouse (21.2f, soft) 6 days ago.	F2P4PP	Josh Williamson A McNamara	8	69.4kg	11 10/1
2nd	7	—	Three In A Row (G) Yet to win over fences but runner-up twice around the turn of the year and posted another respectable effort when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Navan (17f, soft) 20 days ago. Can give a good accou…	72/2642-	Ricky Doyle A L T Moore	8	67.6kg	7 6/1
7th	8	—	Ballybrittas (G) Hurdles winner at Limerick in 2024. Lightly raced since and looked to be going the wrong way over fences in 2025, again failing to impress with his jumping at Roscommon in June.	9074-51	Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	7	66.7kg	26 25/1
1st	9	—	James The Brave (G) FAV Gambled on and was in the process of showing improved form over fences when unseating rider in handicap chase at Limerick (17.8f, heavy) 29 days ago, upsides at the time. Clearly thought capable of w…	12P13F	Michael Kenneally Padraig Butler	6	65.3kg	3.25 9/4
3rd	10	—	Duffys Hodey (G) P Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft) 10 days ago, comfortably. Expected to be bang there after a 9 lb rise with this his optimal trip.	127813	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	9	64.9kg	7.50 13/2
4th	11	—	Tequila Talkin' (M) H Wexford winner last summer but little to shout about in handicaps since, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (18.3f, soft) 38 days ago. Hopes rest on switch to fences.	8P4-23P	Gavin Brouder P Nolan	7	64.9kg	5 4/1
—	12	—	Harty Cup (G) Creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (2m, heavy) 24 days ago, not knocked about. This trip more suitable and he's an interesting chase debutant.	079413	Simon Torrens R Tyner	5	63.5kg	7.50 13/2
