Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
8th	1	—	Slowdownbarney (G) T A fair but quirky stayer on the Flat for John McConnell who has offered little both starts over hurdles.	8/080	P J O'Hanlon D A McLoughlin	5	75.3kg	151 150/1
7th	2	—	This Songisforyou (G) Fairly useful bumper winner who made an encouraging start over hurdles when fifth of 8 at Roscommon (15.5f) in July 2023. Failed to repeat that effort at Galway the following month but has shown usef…	0/6550-2	Ricky Doyle E Mullins	8	75.3kg	5 4/1
9th	3	—	Care To Differ (G) P €7,500 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Pettifour. Maiden pointer, ran out last time (Apr 26). Wears cheekpieces for Rules debut.	3PFPR/	Luke Burke Ott L J Archdeacon	5	71.7kg	151 150/1

1st	5	—	Holy Joe (G) Showed a bit when sixth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Perth (2½m, good to soft) on debut in April but wouldn't have built on that opening effort had he completed at Downpatrick 2 weeks ago.	6-U11	Kevin Sexton G Elliott	6	71.7kg	26 25/1
2nd	6	—	In The Trenches (G) Long-standing maiden who has solid claims on the pick of his form back over hurdles.	5521P4	Eoghan Finegan G P Cromwell	6	71.7kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	7	—	It's All Clear (G) T Progressed steadily with each run in bumpers, finishing third of 10 at this course (17f) on most recent outing. First-time tongue strap added for hurdling debut and shouldn't be taken lightly.	054-33	Ryan Treacy Mrs J Cashin	5	71.7kg	5.50 9/2

4th	9	—	Market Ready (G) FAV Fair hurdle who again ran creditably when third in 6-runner handicap at Limerick (2m, heavy) in April. One to consider back in maiden company.	0/3423-4	Alan O'Sullivan S Aherne	5	71.7kg	2.25 5/4
14th	10	—	Quest With Copper (G) Quest For Peace gelding. Dam modest maiden hurdler (stayed 2¼m). Makes little appeal on paper.	0	Gavin Brouder J J Hanlon	5	71.7kg	81 80/1
5th	11	—	Riverstown Boy (G) Yeats gelding. Dam (c107/h86) 3¼m chase winner. Maiden pointer, pulled up last time (May 17).	P-5P555	John Shinnick G Ahern	5	71.7kg	81 80/1

6th	14	—	Welcome Back (G) H Showed fairly useful form on his debut when third of 14 in a juvenile hurdle at Navan in March 2024 but lightly raced and disappointing since, including on first start for current yard here last mont…	1FU9/06	Ben Harvey C Collins	6	71.7kg	15 14/1
