4th	1	—	Cold Old Fire (G) Point winner who took a 25f Thurles maiden hunter in January and seemed to excel himself when third in what is traditionally one of the better Irish hunter chases at Gowran 6 weeks ago. Solid claims …	6-45133	Mr J G Murphy R Hurley	8	76.2kg	8.50 15/2
1st	2	—	I Walked The Line (G) FAV Off the mark in points at the fourth attempt in May and successful start under Rules in 2½m Clonmel maiden hunter at the start of the year. Well bred and there is more to come.	25-311	Mr L T Turner W P Mullins	5	76.2kg	1.36 4/11
7th	3	—	Lawful Ruler (G) Left his hunter debut effort from the previous weekend well behind when winning 3m Cork maiden at Easter, showing a willing attitude (may not have collected had the favourite avoided error). Remains …	62317-P	Mr T J Stafford P Stafford	7	76.2kg	13 12/1
3rd	4	—	Ta Se Rua (G) Successful pointer, down field both starts since last seen under Rules (latest Apr 12). Veteran won this last year so can't be dismissed.	P041P3/	Mr P Verling P J Healy	13	76.2kg	51 50/1
—	5	—	Black Dakota (G) P Winning pointer, runner-up last 2 starts (latest Apr 12). Brings a positive profile from the pointing field to this first start under Rules and worth a look (wears cheekpieces).	F122-54	Mr F Maguire M Winters	7	73kg	11 10/1
2nd	6	—	Catalani (G) Made move too soon and behind when falling last in 25f Thurles hunter in January. Second in a point (3-time winner) since.	4449	Mr R James Jack Foley	7	73kg	5.50 9/2
8th	7	—	Muskerry Rock (G) T Modest chaser at best. Dual winning pointer, third last 2 starts (latest Mar 8). Plenty on his plate back in a hunter.	38-1221	Mr P A King James King	7	73kg	23 22/1
5th	8	—	Pirate Island (G) PT Winning pointer but little recent form under Rules, pulled up in the Cork maiden hunter won by Lawful Ruler 14 days ago. Tongue strap tried.	14P5-89	Mr J C Barry P P Moloney	8	73kg	67 66/1
12th	9	—	Pure Decent (G) Winning pointer but has clearly been hard to train and showed nothing in the Cork maiden hunter won by Lawful Ruler a fortnight ago.	F18/90-0	Mr W Verling P M Verling	11	73kg	101 100/1
10th	10	—	Roman Parish (G) PT Long-standing maiden under Rules. Winning pointer, but shown little last 4 starts (latest Apr 5).	8P70-82	Ms J E Grant D M O'Brien	8	73kg	101 100/1
6th	11	—	Sledgehammer (G) Point winner but tailed off on completed start in hunter chases (in eyeshields last time).	15P6-64	Mr T A Halford C W J Farrell	6	73kg	51 50/1
—	12	—	The Happy Huntsman (G) No match for Lawful Ruler in hunter at Cork a fortnight ago having won a point, although it was a step forward on his previous effort in this sphere when behind I Walked The Line at Clonmel.	224174	Luke Burke Ott A Ott	6	73kg	21 20/1
—	13	—	Tinnock Force (G) Pulled Up P Related to winning jumpers but a 4-race maiden pointer, last of 3 finishers last time (Mar 15). Cheekpieces go on for first start under Rules.	0-5P3	Mr B J Walsh B J Walsh	6	73kg	51 50/1
11th	14	—	Vodka Splash (G) Winning pointer, third last time (Apr 1). Faces a stiff introduction to Rules.	145230/	Mr B Aherne Garry Aherne	7	73kg	23 22/1
9th	15	—	Bridge Of Machalee (M) P Maiden pointer, last of 3 finishers last time (Mar 22). Wears cheekpieces. RESERVE.	6-754P3	Mr F P Murphy N Dooly	6	69.9kg	101 100/1
