| 3rd | 1 | — |
Barry Lyndon (G)
[PT]
Useful hurdler who made perfect start in this sphere when landing small field maiden here on return in October. However, little encouragement in 2 runs since so bit to prove with headgear back on.

Patrick M O'Brien | D A McLoughlin | 8 | 75.3 kg |

Butch Cassidy (G)
FAV
[P]
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Encouragement in 3 maiden chases this season and remains with potential up in trip on handicap bow.

Darragh O'Keeffe | H De Bromhead | 6 | 75.3 kg |

Prends Garde A Toi (G)
[P]
Came good over fences in a Naas maiden in December and got back to that sort of form when fourth of 14 in the valuable Grand National Trial at Punchestown. Disappointed in Kim Muir since but worth another chance with sights lowered.
|
Jack Kennedy | G Elliott | 7 | 75.3 kg |

Will Do (G)
[B]
Remains winless over fences and arrives here on the back of 3 disappointing efforts.

Josh Williamson | G Elliott | 9 | 74.8 kg |

Patter Merchant (G)
[P]
Useful hurdler but has only a maiden win to his name. Decent start over fences in the autumn but form has dipped since, though saddle slipped in the Ultima latest.
|
Danny Gilligan | G Elliott | 7 | 73.9 kg |

Chosen Witness (G)
[HT]
Dual winning hurdler but form went the wrong way over fences early last year and has struggled in 3 starts this season (reportedly bled last time).
|
Sean O'Keeffe | W P Mullins | 9 | 73.5 kg |

Cave Court (G)
Dual winner over hurdles last season who ran well back over fences when second at Cartmel in June. Found things tougher since but did at least hint at a revival in Kim Muir last month.
|
Mr O McGill | N C Kelly | 9 | 72.1 kg |

| 4th | 8 | — |
Union Station (G)
Still a maiden but caught the eye when fourth in the National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham Festival, passing plenty having been left with a lot to do back up in trip.
|
Keith Donoghue | G P Cromwell | 7 | 72.1 kg |

Joyau De Thaix (G)
Going through a good spell and showed improved form back over fences when winning maiden at Leopardstown 5 weeks ago. Has more to offer making handicap debut over fences and back up in trip.
|
Sean Flanagan | P Nolan | 7 | 71.7 kg |

Ayiko (G)
[P1T]
Winner of a maiden hurdle last season and similar form switched to fences first 2 starts this term. Seemed unsuited by drop in trip at Down Royal latest, though headgear has now been applied.
|
James Bowen | S R B Crawford | 7 | 70.8 kg |

Prophet's Corner (G)
Reproduced the pick of his hurdles form for the first time in this sphere when winning at Limerick 2 weeks ago. However, had the run of things from the front that day and will find this much harder.
|
Michael Kenneally | Sean Allen | 9 | 70.3 kg |

9/1
|
| 5th | 12 | — |
Savante (M)
[T]
Built on a promising effort over hurdles to take advantage of a lower mark in this sphere at Navan 5 weeks ago. Open to further improvement as a chaser.
|
Brian Hayes | Colm Murphy | 7 | 70.3 kg |

Ney (G)

Close to his best the last twice but remains too high in the weights.

Kieren Buckley | E Buckley | 8 | 69.9 kg |

| 2nd | 14 | — |
Killaney King (G)
[H]
Reliable maiden hurdler who ran just respectably back over fences when third in maiden at Leopardstown last month but no surprise if he had more to offer heading into handicaps in this sphere (easy winner of sole start in points).
|
Jordan Gainford | H De Bromhead | 8 | 68.9 kg |

| 6th | 15 | — |
Hermino AA (G)
[P]
Useful at best for Gary & Josh Moore but hasn't shown much in 3 starts for this yard.
|
Donagh Meyler | E McNamara | 9 | 68.5 kg |

Supreme Gift (G)
[P1]
Below par since winning at Market Rasen in November 2024, including both starts for this yard. Headgear back on.

Calum Hogan | E McNamara | 9 | 68 kg |

Well Del (G)
[P1]
Showed a good attitude to make a winning stable debut at Punchestown over this trip in February but undone by revised mark since. Headgear back on now having first run over fences for this yard.

Daniel King | D K Walsh | 8 | 65.8 kg |

Clonmeen (G)
[B1]
Ran one of this season's better races when fourth here 6 weeks ago, though never threatened to end a losing run stretching back over 2 years. Firmly up against it from out of the weights.

Simon Torrens | William P Murphy | 11 | 63.5 kg |
