3rd	1	—	Deed Pole (G) Fair 1½m winner on the Flat and matched that level over hurdles when runner-up in a Tramore maiden last summer. Excuses next time but below form on handicap hurdle debut at Punchestown in October. Re…	06270-3	John Shinnick T O'Brien	6	76.2kg	10 9/1
10th	2	—	Garrick Painter (G) Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat who, after 6 months off, left previous efforts over hurdles behind when landing novice handicap at Perth in June last year. Creditable third in handicap at Galwa…	00P9/1-0	Carl Millar N C Kelly	6	76.2kg	15 14/1
1st	3	—	Mo Ghille Mar (M) Useful handicapper on the Flat for Mrs J. Harrington. Back over hurdles in 4 starts for current yard and is probably in better heart than the form figures suggest, racing too freely when sixth of 10 …	606-177	Gary Noonan J J Hanlon	5	76.2kg	23 22/1
9th	4	—	Ballindenisk (G) Point winner but hasn't made much impact in a bumper and a trio of maiden hurdles under Rules so far, fifth of 12 at Naas (2¼m) on latest outing in February. Has something to find as she goes handica…	3100/05-	Eoin Walsh J J Murphy	6	73.9kg	12 11/1
2nd	5	—	Deise Crystal (G) Showed much more than in his qualifying runs when fourth of 10 in handicap at Naas in March. However, failed to build on that promise when pulled up at Cork last time.	864P-23	Sean O'Keeffe S Aherne	5	73.9kg	6.50 11/2
—	6	—	The Dancen Kid (G) Got back on the up making his second handicap start when third in 18-runner novice event Leopardstown (2¼m) in March. Hasn't been in the same form in 2 starts since, though, pulled up back up in trip…	00736P/	Shane Fitzgerald R O'Sullivan	5	73.9kg	26 25/1
11th	7	—	Liberated Light (G) BT Switched to front-running tactics with blinkers added, showed much more than previously in 2025/26 when second of 16 in handicap at Tramore, headed only late on. Remains 7 lb below last winning mark …	51264/5	Mr J L Gleeson J & T Kiely	7	72.1kg	6.50 11/2
—	8	—	Ray Gun (G) PT Fair 1½m Flat winner but has gone the wrong way from his debut in this sphere, running no sort of race after 3 months off when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Clonmel in April.	800P-P9	Danny Mullins J P Flavin	4	71.7kg	34 33/1
8th	9	—	Boogie Inthejungle (F) Fair maiden on the Flat who showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when sixth of 11 in juvenile maiden at Limerick in March. Could be the type to do better in handicaps given the ability she …	0F06/8	Eoghan Finegan G P Cromwell	4	70.8kg	34 33/1
12th	10	—	Bohemian Bay (G) Placed in points but no better than mid-division over hurdles so far, going with little encouragement on his second handicap outing when well held at Limerick in March.	08850-0	Rian Lane Sean Allen	6	70.3kg	17 16/1
5th	11	—	Miss Donna (M) T Bettered her first 2 starts under Rules (bumper on second occasion) when fourth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Tramore in October. Has struggled the last twice, though, pulled up on handicap debut at Kilbe…	48P-583	Dylan Whelan Patrick Kiely	5	68.5kg	15 14/1
4th	12	—	Pleasureofpressure (G) FAV P Best effort when runner-up at Tramore (21f) final start last year and has continued in good heart in his 2 starts this spring, fourth of 11 at Down Royal (2½m) last time despite late jumping errors. …	54234-4	Darragh O'Keeffe P J Rothwell	6	67.6kg	3.25 9/4
13th	13	—	Young And Foolish (G) P Offered little in 3 maiden hurdles and, upped significantly in trip after 9 months off, failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when pulled up at Naas (3m) in March. Cheekpieces reached for bac…	000/P-	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	7	64.4kg	67 66/1
7th	14	—	Dontdooddson (G) Bounced back to winning ways when scoring over C&D last summer. After a couple of starts back over fences, shaped with some encouragement after 4 months off when third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kil…	773-777	Phillip Enright D Collins	13	63.5kg	9 8/1
—	15	—	Demanding Gerry (M) T Good efforts when runner-up 3 times in handicaps last season, pulling clear of the rest in 16-runner novice event at Clonmel (2½m) in October. However, returned lame at Punchestown later the same mon…	2220-24	Reserve 1 J Fahey	7	69.4kg	9 8/1
—	16	—	Doyen Og (M) Making only second handicap start, much improved when third of 15 at Bellewstown last summer. However, she went backwards from that effort in 3 subsequent outings, well held at Gowran (2½m) when last…	3490-P7	Reserve 2 A Sexton	7	66.2kg	101 100/1
6th	17	—	Any Chance (G) Making third start in maiden hurdles, took a step forward when fifth of 12 at Limerick in March, though seemingly in spite of the drop to 2m. Makes handicap hurdle debut. RESERVE.	005-6	Danny Mullins Cian Hughes	7	74.8kg	10 9/1
