2nd	1	—	Affinity Rock (M) Lightly-raced hurdler who won a 9-runner mares’ maiden hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) in 2025/26. Well held on handicap debut next time, but both her background as a winning pointer and he…	16210/2	Danny Gilligan C Collins	6	73kg	13 12/1
7th	2	—	Beauforts Storm (M) Fairly useful hurdler that looks to be being brought along gradually as a chaser, fifth of 9 to Royal Hollow in maiden at Clonmel last time.	5-772U7	Cian Quirke T Doyle	7	73kg	34 33/1
4th	3	—	Billie Frechette (M) T Successful twice on the level prior to landing a maiden hurdle at Cork in 2025/26 and shaped well despite being left with too much to do when 17 lengths second of 12 to Supersundae in maiden at Kilbe…	122-430	Donagh Meyler N Meade	5	73kg	8.50 15/2
5th	4	—	Crescent Moon (M) T Fairly useful hurdler who shaped with promise on the switch to chasing last season, but finished the campaign badly out of sorts, including back over hurdles. Plenty to prove at present.	5PPP-55	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	73kg	17 16/1
—	5	—	Emily Love (M) Fell Prolific novice hurdler last season, winning 5 times, including a minor event at Far Hills in the USA in October. Absent since, but a winning point background suggests she may prove just as effective…	1341/F1	Sam Ewing G Elliott	7	73kg	5 4/1
8th	6	—	Fortunate Lighting (M) Won handicap hurdle at Sligo in 2025/26 and posted best effort since when fifth of 10 to Fiver Friday in mares event at Bellewstown last month, though she'll need to improve significantly if she's to…	51605/8	Eoghan Finegan Thomas Coyle	8	73kg	41 40/1
—	7	—	Gaoth Chuil (M) Useful hurdler who hasn't quite gone on as expected over fences but has shaped well on each of her last 2 starts, firstly when 4 lengths second of 6 to Kilbarry Saint in mares maiden at Clonmel and t…	7/4-911	Shane O'Callaghan T M Walsh	8	73kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	8	—	La Note Verte (M) FAV Created a good impression when winning first 2 starts over hurdles, namely mares maiden at Listowel and novice at Roscommon. Has failed to see her race out both outings since, however and has questio…	1/1164-3	Paul Townend W P Mullins	6	73kg	2.75 7/4
1st	9	—	Miss Doyenne (M) Point and bumper winner that belatedly confirmed the promise of hurdling debut when winning mares maiden at Down Royal last month by 7½ lengths from Forever And A Day. Interesting chasing recruit.	311331/	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	6	73kg	4 3/1
—	10	—	My Mary Ellen (M) Pulled Up P Third foal, dam fairly useful hurdle winner around 2m (stayed 19f)). Last of 6 finishers completed start in points, pulled up last time (Mar 29). Wears cheekpieces.	P6FP/	Kevin Healy A Murray	5	73kg	301 300/1
—	11	—	Seventy Eight Team (M) Maiden pointer who has yet to get her head in front over hurdles or fences, her best effort in the latter sphere coming when chasing home Hit The Frame in a handicap at Wexford last season. Ran poorl…	P245P-P	Jack Gilligan P J Gilligan	8	73kg	51 50/1
6th	12	—	Stormalong (M) PT Fairly useful hurdler who hasn't gone without promise in a handful of starts over fences but was brought down in mares maiden at Thurles last time. Not without claims if matching the pick of her hurd…	74444B/	John Shinnick D Budds	8	73kg	13 12/1
