Runners

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	—	Folly Master (G) Course winner. Useful winner at 21f in chases. Good second of 13 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft, 4/1), sticking to task. Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. May well do better.	Keith Donoghue	Tom Dreaper	8	75.3 kg	4.50 7/2
6th	2	—	Money Heist (G) [P] First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when respectable tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, heavy, 4/1) 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.	Mr D McGill	Gary McGill	9	74.8 kg	26 25/1

—	4	—	Rockstown Girl (M) [T] Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.7f, good) 15 days ago, tailed off when hampered 3 out. Tough to assess at present.	Alex Harvey	A McCann	8	72.6 kg	101 100/1
4th	5	—	Cathryns Ruby (M) [T] Winner in hurdle at Wexford in October. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy, 33/1) 17 days ago. Looks competitive on form.	Sean O'Keeffe	P T Foley	9	72.1 kg	34 33/1
8th	6	—	Cornmarket (G) 3 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in October. Fell in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Leopardstown (20.7f, good) 15 days ago.	Alan King	John Cullen	7	72.1 kg	41 40/1

—	8	—	Westernersunrise (M) [T] Good third of 12 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Limerick (20f, heavy) 17 days ago. Merits consideration.	Mr S Connor	J Fahey	7	71.7 kg	5.50 9/2
10th	9	—	Siege Ofjadotville (G) [B] Blinkered for 1st time, creditable eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy, 11/1) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.	Liam McKenna	M Hassett	6	71.2 kg	13 12/1
—	10	—	Empire Walk (G) Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 16 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Naas (19f, heavy) 28 days ago, running on late. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve.	Eoin Staples	J Motherway	5	70.8 kg	6.50 11/2
—	11	—	Accustomed (G) Creditable sixth of 23 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Leopardstown (20.7f, good) 15 days ago. Enters calculations.	Jordan Gainford	E D Delany	6	69.9 kg	17 16/1
11th	12	—	Pictures Of Home (G) [B] 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (26f, good to soft) 11 days ago, pulled up before 4 out.	Jack Kennedy	T M Walsh	10	69.9 kg	29 28/1

1st	15	—	Lough Nigara (G) [P1H] Creditable third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (26f, good to soft, 5/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt.	Ricky Doyle	E Griffin	9	68 kg	6 5/1
13th	16	—	Dalmatic (G) [B] 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (21.4f, heavy) 15 days ago, well positioned. Others more persuasive.	Gary Noonan	W J O'Doherty	6	66.7 kg	13 12/1
5th	17	—	Nettuno Italia (G) FAV 10/3, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24.4f, heavy) 55 days ago, finishing with running left. Expected to be bang there.	Shane Markey	R O'Sullivan	6	66.2 kg	4 3/1
