12th	2	17	It's Good To Talk (G) Two starts in bumpers, failing to progress from his debut when ninth of 10 at Punchestown 18 days ago. Hard to fancy.	000	Scott McCullagh E Mullins	5	66.7kg	67 66/1
6th	3	4	Galileo Springs (M) T Runner-up twice from 4 starts in bumpers, and didn't need to improve to get off the mark when winning a weak hurdle. Makes Flat debut after 7 months off.	6	Leigh Roche M Brassil	6	64.4kg	51 50/1
