9th	2	—	Black Soul (G) Point winner would've outrun huge odds if not for taking a late fall on chase debut at Tramore last month. Respected if none the worse.	72/750-0	Mike O'Connor Conor Houlihan	7	75.3kg	67 66/1
10th	3	—	Drop A Threat (G) HT Winning pointer reached a fair level over hurdles. Below expectations when only fourth of 12 in novice chase at Tramore (2¾m, good to soft, 5/4) on debut over fences 25 days ago but likely capable of…	74-0P56	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	7	75.3kg	6 5/1
12th	4	—	Following Orders (G) Career-best effort when second in a big-field Roscommon novice in August, but below that level all 3 runs since, pulled up in a novice hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft, 11/1) 27 days ago. Was…	25P-09P	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	6	75.3kg	41 40/1
8th	5	—	Gunnery Sergeant (G) PT Ex-pointer was runner-up in maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick in recent months. Never dangerous when fifth of 12 in novice chase at Tramore (2¾m, good to soft) on debut over fences 25 days…	0225-85	Sam Ewing G Elliott	6	75.3kg	26 25/1
5th	6	—	In The Trenches (G) Long-standing maiden but produced a solid effort when fifth of 12 in handicap chase (10/1) at Wexford (2m, good to soft) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Probably vulnerable to improvers again.	5521P4	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	75.3kg	11 10/1
—	7	—	Jerisk Star (G) T Winner of a handicap hurdle at Gowran on return. Has shaped quite well prior to unseating/falling on both chase starts so far, though might be of more interest when handicapping after this.	00P1UF/	R Deegan Liz Doyle	7	75.3kg	13 12/1
7th	8	—	Leni's Law (G) Best effort over hurdles came when fourth in 2m Leopardstown novice in March. Probably needs more to make successful start over fences.	4640-	Sean Flanagan Liz Doyle	7	75.3kg	41 40/1
13th	9	—	Phoenix Arizona (G) T Maiden pointer barely scraped modest form over hurdles. Hard to fancy on chase bow.	26-0043	Mr P J O'Neill John F O'Neill	7	75.3kg	126 125/1
6th	10	—	Strange Currency (G) Fair form on second start over hurdles but below that level since, including when fifth of 14 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19f, good to soft, 125/1) 16 days ago. Makes chase debut.	367U-56	Ricky Doyle G O'Loughlin	6	75.3kg	29 28/1
2nd	11	—	Warriors Wood (G) Dual hurdles winner at up to 17f and was in the process of making an encouraging chase debut when hampered and unseating at the last at Tramore 25 days ago. Considered.	U-21348	Brian Hayes A McNamara	6	75.3kg	13 12/1
—	12	—	Kate Knows Best (M) Fell Fair winner over hurdles but took a heavy fall at the first at Clonmel on chase debut. Worth betting check after 164 days off.	91368F/	Kevin Healy J P Ryan	8	72.1kg	21 20/1
3rd	13	—	Rockstown Girl (M) T Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal in March and posted a good effort back over fences when second of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (19f, soft, 11/2) 35 days ago. Enter…	B712-33	James Smith A McCann	8	72.1kg	7.50 13/2
1st	14	—	Shellrunforbriggs (M) FAV H Much improved when runner-up in a listed mares novice chase at Thurles (21.5f) in February, for all there was an element of picking up the pieces. Progressed to win a 6-runner handicap hurdle at Lime…	61/6421-	Darragh O'Keeffe M Winters	5	72.1kg	2 1/1
