4th	10	—	Lecale's Diamond (G) FAV T Well held in 4 hurdles, including a handicap, but showed a bit of promise in maiden chases over the winter. Could be well treated on that form at this sort of trip. Goes in a first-time tongue strap.	0036-41	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	69.9kg	2.50 6/4
6th	11	—	L'Un Deux Trois (G) BT Fair Flat winner but maiden over hurdles and fences. Pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (19f, good) when last seen in August.	53204/0	James Duggan O McKiernan	10	69.9kg	34 33/1
