—	1	—	Journey With Me (G) Pulled Up T Very smart chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead and proved he's still capable of useful form when beating 4 of these in 2½m Cork hunter 5 weeks ago. Big player if lasting out over this longer trip.	P33331-	Mr B O'Neill D M Christie	10	76.2kg	6.50 11/2
1st	2	—	Solitary Man (G) FAV Won 3 of 4 starts in points and has a good record here. Ran a moody race behind Journey With Me at Cork but return to this longer trip will be in his favour.	194-141	Mr J M Halford E Bolger	8	76.2kg	2.50 6/4
—	3	—	Bartlemy Boy (G) Unseated Rider Behind 3 of these at Cork prior to winning small-field point. Took this last year and could be in the shake-up.	1256/U1	Mr S Cotter Michael Barry	8	74.8kg	9 8/1
—	4	—	Galon De Vauzelle (G) B Made it 2-3 in points in November but it's been a struggle back in hunters since, well beaten behind Journey With Me and co at Cork 5 weeks ago. Change of headgear.	21PP4/0-	Miss P Elvin P J Rothwell	10	74.8kg	51 50/1
3rd	5	—	Lifetime Ambition (G) Fit from points and hit the frame in another big hunter at Punchestown 10 days ago. Stands out on form with Derek O'Connor booked although this is a quick turnaround and this track probably doesn't p…	21/2334-	Mr D O'Connor P M J Doyle	11	74.8kg	3 2/1
6th	6	—	Ebenezer Scrooge (G) T Fair hurdler at best in 2023 (not seen under Rules for over 2 years). Winning pointer but little promise of late (latest start May 3).	55PP77-	Mr E P O'Brien Joseph M Daly	9	73kg	201 200/1
9th	7	—	Fakiera (G) TB Winning hurdler but 0-19 over regulation fences and not the force of old. Maiden pointer, unplaced last 4 starts (behind Tullybeg on latest, Apr 25).	555577-	Ms N M Bradley E Griffin	11	73kg	151 150/1
8th	8	—	Gin Coco (G) Fairly useful hurdler. Second to Champion Hunter winner Wonderwall in recent point (Lifetime Ambition third). Interesting hunter debutant.	2705/22-	Mr T O'Connor T O'Connor	10	73kg	19 18/1
7th	9	—	Headcorn (G) T Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on Rules debut in Limerick maiden hunter in December 2024. Dual winning pointer, pulled up last time (Apr 12).	2152P/7	Miss N Lockhead Anderson M J Phillips	9	73kg	101 100/1
5th	10	—	Jetoile (G) HT Winner of the Old Roan at Aintree in October 2023. Fit from points (runner-up to Lifetime Ambition in November) and ran well behind Journey With Me at Cork 5 weeks ago. Not ruled out in change of hea…	5P53-51	Mr L P Shanahan W J Burke	11	73kg	15 14/1
10th	11	—	Pure Decent (G) Winning pointer but has clearly been hard to train and finished well held again in 2 hunters last month.	F18/90-0	Mr W Verling P M Verling	11	73kg	201 200/1
4th	12	—	Tullybeg (G) T Fairly useful chaser at best for Gordon Elliott but became unreliable. Won second of 2 starts in points since last seen under Rules (Apr 25).	55P1-45	Mr E M Nugent B McMahon	11	73kg	26 25/1
2nd	13	—	What Path (G) T Won 3 of his 4 starts in points upon leaving Keiran Burke and in the process of exceeding expectations when unlucky to exit in Punchestown cross-country earlier this month (around 3 lengths in fourth…	1211S/2	Mr J Dunne Ian O'Connor	9	73kg	15 14/1
