10th	1	—	Something Noble (G) Made it 2 wins from 3 starts over hurdles when winning a 13-runner handicap at Limerick (2m, heavy, 25/1) 27 days ago, suited by way race developed. More on his plate here off 6 lb higher.	1510/	Eoghan Finegan Ciaran Murphy	4	75.3kg	8 7/1
—	2	—	Galavanting George (G) FAV Fell Good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy, 15/2) 42 days ago. Still early days for this 5-y-o and he's a must for the shortlist.	06432F/	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	5	73.5kg	4.50 7/2
1st	3	—	Take Stock (G) Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, soft, 7/1) 20 days ago, finding test too much. This drop back in trip is a good move and, though Galavanting George appears to be the s…	5083F5	Eoin Staples G P Cromwell	5	73.5kg	8 7/1
2nd	4	—	Dairy Force (G) H Departed early on when favourite for a handicap hurdle at Down Royal (2½m, good to soft, 9/4) 6 days ago. Others look more solid.	F2-0225	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	72.6kg	5.50 9/2
9th	5	—	High Notions (M) H Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Below par tenth of 19 in a handicap at Down Royal (20.4f, good to soft, 18/1) 32 days ago. Now tried in a hood.	8P09-37	Sean Flanagan S G Carey	6	72.1kg	12 11/1
8th	6	—	Syracus Du Houx (G) BT Seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft, 16/1) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Blinkers enlisted/tongue strap refitted now back hurdling and he's probably worth taking on.	0B7/078-	Phillip Enright O McKiernan	8	70.3kg	19 18/1
4th	7	—	Tsavo Park (G) T Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, heavy, 17/2) 32 days ago and looks set for another struggle back over hurdles.	4FP48-7	Gavin Brouder J J Hanlon	7	69.4kg	17 16/1
3rd	8	—	Jaynemax (G) Shade below par when ninth of 20 in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft, 18/1) 13 days ago. Wasn't knocked about on that occasion but he's opposable all the same.	094529	Jordan Gainford Thomas Dowling	5	68.5kg	8.50 15/2
7th	9	—	Couldntmakeitup (G) PT Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (2¾m, good to soft, 18/1) 6 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that tame effort but he was third off 4 lb higher at Punchestown in January and will have …	34930P	Daniel King J Nash	6	68kg	21 20/1
—	10	—	Kinturk Nelson (G) Wasn't at his best when seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, heavy, 6/1) 56 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.	0-07337	Darragh O'Keeffe T Gibney	7	67.6kg	17 16/1
11th	11	—	Marlpark (G) Runner-up at Clonmel last month but could finish only eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at the same course (2m, soft) 16 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.	200-4PF	Michael Kenneally J P Ryan	7	67.6kg	29 28/1
6th	12	—	Mon Sheriffe (G) Equipped with a first-time hood when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy) 42 days ago. Goes without the headgear here.	6P6P-U5	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	5	67.6kg	8.50 15/2
5th	13	—	Blue Reed (G) PT Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¼m, soft, 11/2) 20 days ago. Had the run of things that day but it was still a decent effort and, though his record now stands at 0-26, he…	745-127	Finn Brickley C Collins	7	64.9kg	9.50 17/2
