3rd	2	—	Smackwater Jack (G) 13 lb out of the weights but returned to form to win 13-runner handicap at Punchestown (3m) 8 days ago, all out to hold on. Back on his 'proper' mark here but not an obvious type to follow up.	70-9132	Ethan O'Sullivan Mrs D Foster	12	74.8kg	9 8/1

—	4	—	Gerrys Wish (M) P Much more like it in handicaps during the autumn, suffering a pair of narrow reversals over 3m. Ran no sort of race after 7 months off at Sligo just under 5 weeks ago but no surprise should she leave…	822-8P2	Kevin Sexton G Elliott	5	72.6kg	8.50 15/2 Betfa… 8.50 Paddy… 8.50 Sky B… 8

9th	5	—	Annie's Belle (M) HT Ran well when third of 14 in handicap at this course (19f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago, seeing her race out fully. Upped to 3m for the first time and claims with a repeat.	795F-43	James Smith C O'Connell	5	72.1kg	5.50 9/2
—	5	—	Ephesus (G)	5100-98	— D Hogan	5	75.3kg	—
5th	6	—	Chasing Crowns (M) P Close third at Down Royal in October but tailed off on both subsequent starts. Tongue tie worn last time discarded for her return and she's got a bit to prove.	6390-5P	Harry Sexton E Sheehy	6	70.3kg	17 16/1

—	7	—	Lily Milan (M) P Run to a similar level when mid-field all 3 starts in maiden hurdles and all presumably not right when well held on recent handicap debut at Wexford. Cheekpieces now on and this can reveal more.	44586-9	Shane Fitzgerald P Kiely	7	70.3kg	17 16/1 Paddy… 15 Betfa… 15 Sky B… 15

2nd	13	—	Katie's Casper (M) T Ran better than on handicap debut when fifth of 16 in handicap at Tramore (2¾m, good) 17 days ago, though didn't benefit from the return to further as much as might've been anticipated. First go over…	88-9525	Alix Balfe D A McLoughlin	7	67.6kg	12 11/1
