Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
4th	1	—	Bally Free (G) FAV [P1] Lightly raced gelding who won 11-runner 3m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (10/3) 63 days ago, more straightforward in the finish and digging deep to lead again on the run-in. Already looks a thorough stayer and open to further improvement in …	Jack Kennedy	G Elliott	6	69.9 kg	1.83 5/6
1st	2	—	Lord Rouge (G) [H1] Point winner who looked a good prospect when winning on 17f Cork hurdle debut. Only eighth of 10 in 2½m Grade 1 at Naas (33/1) 36 days ago but retains potential with his sights lowered slightly. Hooded now stepping up in trip again. Jack K…	Danny Gilligan	G Elliott	5	69.9 kg	5.50 9/2
3rd	3	—	Timesareachanging (G) Point winner in January 2024. Off nearly 2 years before finishing third in a Limerick bumper over Christmas but a subsequent Navan maiden hurdle success suggests he can make up for lost time.	Philip Donovan	A Slattery	7	69.9 kg	6 5/1
5th	4	—	Walks The Talk (M) [H] Fairly useful hurdler. Good second of 5 in novice hurdle (10/3) at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) 14 days ago, although no match for winner.	Alex Harvey	J C McConnell	7	68 kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	5	—	Changeyourstars (M) [HT] Second in Fairyhouse mares' maiden before going one better in similar company at Limerick (2½m, heavy) over Christmas, driven out. More will be needed to follow up here.	Phillip Enright	James King	6	66.7 kg	11 10/1
