5th	1	—	Rusty Harkness (G) T Has reached the frame in all 3 maiden hurdles and respected on handicap debut as an unexposed sort from a leading yard.	4325-2	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	6	75.3kg	5.50 9/2
—	2	—	Ontheropes (G) Pulled Up P Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, pulled up in Ulster National at Downpatrick (28.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others are more persuasive.	02330P	Mr C Mullins T Mullins	12	74.8kg	23 22/1
6th	3	—	Verdant Place (G) TP Yet to fire this term but is well handicapped if staging a revival. Worth a look in the betting with a first-time tongue now joining the cheekpieces he's worn the last twice.	14-P885	Simon Torrens P T Foley	8	74.8kg	15 14/1
4th	4	—	Better Times (G) 11/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, soft) 16 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Raised 6 lb but he's unexposed as a stayer and may do better again.	5714U/4	Michael Kenneally S G Carey	6	74.4kg	9 8/1
10th	5	—	Getaway Charlie (G) One win from 25 starts. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Cork (3m, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not hard to look elsewhere.	2P/P00-4	Mr D Doyle T Doyle	10	73.9kg	51 50/1
1st	6	—	My Gaffer (G) Latest win in chase at Kilbeggan (2½m) in August. Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (17f, soft, 12/1) 103 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others are more obvious.	50871-4	Liam McKenna J P Ryan	8	73.9kg	17 16/1
8th	7	—	Forceonmyown (M) P Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Leopardstown (2¼m, soft) 42 days ago. Unexposed for top yard now stepping up in trip with cheekpieces added. Interesting.	1/63458-	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	73.5kg	11 10/1
7th	8	—	Midnight Our Fred (G) FAV T Lower mark over hurdles and not seen to best effect back over timber (did too much too soon) when fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (3m, soft, 11/2) 42 days ago. One of the more likely types.	P2P447/	Danny Mullins J P Flavin	9	73kg	5 4/1
—	9	—	Cullig (M) Pulled Up HT 11/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f, heavy) when last seen in November. Fairly handicapped but betting perhaps the best guide after 5 months off.	2P4PP/P	Alex Harvey P T Foley	7	70.3kg	29 28/1
9th	10	—	Ishan (G) PT Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (3m, good to soft, 10/1) 9 days ago. Likely to be competitive again.	P359-80	Phillip Enright S Curling	8	70.3kg	8 7/1
11th	11	—	Roxboro River (G) Winner over hurdles at Stratford last summer but found life tougher afterwards. This is his first outing for 6 months and might be best watched.	747226	Adam Leahy J J Hanlon	7	70.3kg	51 50/1
12th	12	—	Rhythmic Tune (G) Showed improved form when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f) in October but not in same form there over Christmas. Off again since.	03180/0	Daniel King M A Molloy	7	68kg	9 8/1
2nd	13	—	Ballyglass Beauty (G) P Did too much too soon when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (3m, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Well handicapped.	B8442-7	Conor Stone-Walsh C Collins	10	65.3kg	13 12/1
—	14	—	Rajsalad (G) Pulled Up P Pulled up on 3 of last 4 starts and hard to know what to expect back from a further 3 months off with cheekpieces added.	7/FP-0PP	Charlie O'Dwyer C O'Dwyer	10	64.4kg	29 28/1
3rd	15	—	Wakey Wakey Man (G) Maiden but has shown he can be competitive in handicaps, including good fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Up in trip.	82643-5	Sean O'Keeffe C Collins	6	64kg	5.50 9/2
