4th	1	—	War Correspondent (G) BT Contender on the pick of his form but he's a temperamental sort and went with no encouragement after 6 months off in a claiming hurdle at Tramore 17 days ago.	P-44U43	Paddy Cody R P Cody	7	75.3kg	21 20/1
—	2	—	An Peann Dearg (G) Pulled Up HT Lost his way after back-to-back wins at Leopardstown 2 winters ago but showed signs of a revival there last 2 starts so needs considering back down in class.	6077-PP	Sean O'Keeffe P Nolan	9	74.8kg	7.50 13/2
7th	3	—	Come On The Lads (G) FAV H Got back on the up over hurdles when winning at the Galway Festival last summer and bettered previous chasing form when winning in good style at Limerick. Remains with potential in this sphere.	6451-79	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	74.8kg	4 3/1
6th	4	—	Captain Conby (G) Useful hurdler/chaser on his day and needed the run after 28 months off in maiden on the Flat 26 days ago. Potentially thrown in on old form and market can guide.	01233/6	Kevin Healy E Sheehy	9	74.4kg	15 14/1
3rd	5	—	Baltic Bird (G) Successful start over fences at Down Royal a year ago but has disappointed in various events since.	037-368	Philip Byrnes W Durkan	7	73.9kg	10 9/1
8th	6	—	Dutch Schultz (G) Lost his way after a promising start to last season but shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off at Fairyhouse 33 days ago and has dipped below his winning mark.	66F57/8	Conor Stone-Walsh G P Cromwell	9	72.6kg	12 11/1
5th	7	—	Trasna Na Pairce (G) Won a couple of novice hurdles at Clonmel last summer and was progressing gradually over fences until a poor run at Leopardstown on Boxing Day. Absence since suggests all might not have been well tha…	20-5274	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	7	72.1kg	10 9/1
1st	8	—	Crowsatedappletart (G) T Likeable sort who won 3 times over fences last year (including twice here) and was probably feeling the effects of a busy campaign when turning in a rare poor effort at Cork in November. Looked rusty…	52176-1	Michael Kenneally M Winters	9	71.2kg	11 10/1
9th	9	—	Cappucino (G) T Bumper/hurdles winner. Best effort over fences so far when second in novice at Tramore on New Year's Day but ran no sort of race on handicap debut in this sphere next time.	5B2P-94	Sean Flanagan Liz Doyle	7	68.9kg	5.50 9/2
2nd	10	—	Kilbrin Rocco (G) T Twice a winner over fences last season, including when back to form at Tramore 18 days ago. All out that day, however, and 4 lb higher in better race now.	1951-29	Gary Noonan E McCarthy	7	64.9kg	7.50 13/2
