5th	1	—	Tango Theatre (M) VT Dominant winner at Sligo last summer but ran poorly on both subsequent outings (including over fences). Might be entitled to need this return from 7 months off given her advanced years.	2177-58	Shane Fitzsimons J C McConnell	11	75.3kg	34 33/1
—	1	—	Solitary Man (G)	194-141	— E Bolger	8	75.3kg	—
9th	2	—	Jaadil (M) Off the mark at Cork in October and unlucky to bump into an improver at Sligo (2¼m, good to soft) next time. Ran poorly at Cork in May but was said to have returned with mucus, though she took an ear…	4212-PF	Calum Hogan D E Fitzgerald	5	74.8kg	15 14/1
—	2	—	Encanto Bruno (G)	2/20-360	— J C McConnell	8	74.4kg	—
4th	3	—	Dearg Mor (G) PT Took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Wexford (3m, good to soft) 19 days ago, though did look somewhat stretched by the trip…	0508-44	Peter Smithers A A Howard	5	72.6kg	4.50 7/2
—	3	—	Linden Arden (G)	101257-	— D H Kelly	8	73.9kg	—
—	4	—	Joe's Turn (G) T Won over C&D last April and shaped as if better for the outing after an 11-month break when eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (3m, good to soft) 33 days ago. Better can be expected now,	31/2F-86	Alan King M M McNiff	10	72.6kg	15 14/1 Paddy… 7.50 Betfa… 7.50 Sky B… 7
—	4	—	Lisnamult Lad (G)	FP9P-P0	— Ian Donoghue	9	73.5kg	—
8th	5	—	Brianna Lily (M) Produced her best effort for a while when third of 10 at Clonmel last month but more miss than hit nowadays and perhaps unsurprisingly failed to back that up at Tramore last time. Will need others to…	P-03684	Kevin Sexton J Barcoe	9	71.7kg	17 16/1
—	5	—	Ballybow (G)	554940/	— G Elliott	7	72.6kg	—
1st	6	—	Island Mccoo (G) FAV T Ran better than for a while after 12 weeks off when fourth of 16 in hurdle at Sligo (2½m, good to soft) in May and produced an even better effort when second of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Limeric…	8-42184	Alan O'Sullivan D Duggan	9	71.2kg	3.50 5/2
—	6	—	Jacovec Cavern (G)	001-23P	— P Hennessy	7	71.7kg	—
2nd	7	—	Pilgrims Walk (G) Out of a sister to smart chaser Bags Groove and qualified for handicaps with 3 quick runs around 2m in March/April. Type to improve now handicapping up in trip.	080-2	Dylan Robinson P J Rothwell	4	69.9kg	21 20/1
—	7	—	In Excelsis Deo (G)	U22D/16	— E Bolger	8	71.2kg	—
—	8	—	Toll Stone (G)	87523/0	— E Mullins	6	70.3kg	—
—	8	—	Blinding Light (G) Pulled Up No show in maiden hurdles, most recently on the back of a 7-month absence at Ballinrobe 3 weeks ago. More needed sent handicapping over further.	700-0	Mike O'Connor P Byrne	6	69.4kg	34 33/1
—	9	—	Cobra Queen (M)	114-P83	— H De Bromhead	7	69.9kg	—
—	9	—	Derby Rock (G) Fell PT Modest hurdler who has plenty to prove after an inauspicious start over fences when last seen in August. Tongue strap back on.	0576-F0	Jake Coen M F Morris	7	69.4kg	15 14/1
7th	10	—	Strong Contender (M) No impact across 3 completed starts over hurdles and she'll need to find improvement to make a successful handicap debut (shaped like non-stayer previous try at this trip).	3F0-078	Conor Smithers N Lee	5	69.4kg	41 40/1
—	10	—	Ad Caelum (M)	6-76315	— J P Ryan	7	69.4kg	—
6th	11	—	Ballyredinkingston (G) In the process of showing much more than previously over hurdles when brought down approaching 2 out in a handicap at Clonmel (19f, heavy, 12/1) 81 days ago. Frame claims.	000B-66	Ricky Doyle J P Ryan	6	68.9kg	13 12/1
—	11	—	Burning Ability (G)	326-125	— E McCarthy	5	68.9kg	—
—	12	—	Ladies Well (M) Unseated Rider T Off the mark over hurdles at Ballinrobe in August but below that form in 3 starts later in 2025. Shaped as if needing the outing when a remote second at Kelso (23f) on chase debut 3 weeks ago and she…	608-2U1	Philip Donovan A Slattery	6	68.9kg	6 5/1
—	12	—	Rexem (G)	573425	— J C McConnell	9	68.9kg	—
11th	13	—	Celtic Crossing (M) Showed a bit when fifth on handicap debut at Roscommon in September 2024 but missed all of 2025 and has been soundly beaten on both starts this year.	0050/05	P J O'Hanlon D Collins	6	67.6kg	15 14/1
—	13	—	Moonovercloon (G)	8647-0P	— D Queally	9	68.5kg	—
10th	14	—	Roman Parish (G) PT Long-standing maiden under Rules. Winning pointer, but shown little in that sphere of late and it was a similar story back in a hunter chase at Tramore 2 months ago. Others preferred.	8P70-82	Ryan Treacy D M O'Brien	8	67.6kg	29 28/1
—	14	—	St Lawrence's Well (G)	2125F5/	— D Queally	6	68.5kg	—
12th	15	—	Move It On Over (G) Offered more than previously when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in August but no show in 2 handicaps last month. Upped even further in trip now.	8-080U4	Gavin Brouder John F O'Neill	5	66.2kg	26 25/1
—	15	—	Littlebiggie (M)	1537P-4	— R Hackett	9	67.6kg	—
3rd	16	—	Queen Kulina (M) Maiden who was just beginning to work her way into contention returning from 6 months off when falling 4 out at Punchestown (3m, good to soft) at the start of May but didn't build on the promise when…	48-F834	Shane O'Callaghan E Griffin	10	66.2kg	8 7/1
—	16	—	Crossing The Bar (G)	242145/	— C Collins	9	67.1kg	—
—	17	—	Hay Baby (M) H Point winner who attracted support on occasions last season but did not go on as expected in handicaps. Shaped as if needing the run on return to hurdling at Cork last month and has since left Peter …	5456-00	Reserve 1 E Mullins	7	71.2kg	7 6/1 Paddy… 11 Sky B… 11 Betfa… 10
—	17	—	Dorans Law (G)	P-P6572	— P J Rothwell	8	66.7kg	—
—	18	—	Fr Gilligansvoyge (G) Inconsistent veteran ended a losing run stretching back over 3 years in 12-runner handicap chase at Downpatrick (3m, good, 18/1) on Saturday. Rare go over hurdles. RESERVE.	P4-4213	Reserve 2 J G Carr	13	64.9kg	8 7/1 Paddy… 9 Sky B… 9 Betfa… 8.50
—	19	—	Everystep Oftheway (G) Made the frame on 3 consecutive outings in summer 2024 but almost certainly best watched returning from almost 2 years off this time. RESERVE.	440444/	Reserve 3 O McKiernan	8	69.4kg	13 12/1 Sky B… 26 Betfa… 26 Paddy… 26
