9th	1	9	Ambitious Fellow (G) Veteran hurdler/chaser who has been operating below best in recent starts and others rate much more persuasive now making debut in this sphere.	P445-UP	Mr G Devitt Peter Fahey	10	75.3kg	126 125/1
5th	2	11	Arch Empire (G) Fairly useful hurdles winner who finished placed on all 3 starts on the Flat last summer, including when third in this race. Not disgraced back over timber in recent months and no surprise to see him…	3497-68	Mr H C Swan G Elliott	6	75.3kg	5 4/1
4th	3	2	Catalani (G) Multiple point winner who ran to a fair level when opening his account under Rules in 4-runner hunter at Down Royal (23f) in May. However, unsurprisingly seemed found wanting for a change of pace whe…	4449	Mr B T Stone Jack Foley	7	75.3kg	13 12/1
6th	4	10	Certamen (G) Showed ability in bumpers/maiden hurdles and did so again when sixth of 15 in a Leopardstown maiden (15f) 4 weeks ago. May build on that now but others more appealing for win purposes.	40/56-0	Mr F R Buckley E Buckley	5	75.3kg	41 40/1
12th	5	4	Chain Of Destiny (G) Retains little ability these days.	096/950	Mr W T Ladd Finn D E Finn	7	75.3kg	401 400/1
8th	6	6	Double Indian (C) Well held in a bumper and no real short-term encouragement to glean from 2 starts on the level in recent weeks. Tackles a longer trip now.	978	Mr L Whitty Mrs J Harrington	4	75.3kg	201 200/1
1st	7	7	Eagle Fang (G) FAV V Smart hurdler/useful chaser who ran to a fairly useful level on first Flat since his 3-y-o days when second in a Leopardstown maiden (15f) 4 weeks ago. Well up to winning a similar event on that evid…	3/21	Ms K M Ryan W Durkan	6	75.3kg	2.88 15/8
11th	8	8	Jetoile (G) PT Useful winning hurdler/chaser who landed 13-runner handicap chase at Ballinrobe (2½m) in May for his new yard. Not discredited when sixth in a Tramore maiden making Flat debut last week but he'll nee…	5P53-51	Mr J C Barry W J Burke	11	75.3kg	51 50/1
10th	9	5	Lauro's Legend (G) Largely disappointed over hurdles and went backwards from his debut effort in this sphere when down the field in a Roscommon maiden 2 weeks ago.	700	Mr F Maguire P A Fahy	6	75.3kg	101 100/1
—	10	12	Lord Ffrench (G) Fair winner over hurdles (stays 21f) who wasn't seen to best effect on sole previous chase try at Tramore (2m) last summer. Lines up here fit from jumps, doing best of those held up when sixth at Pun…	7-	Mr D Doyle S Curling	6	75.3kg	21 20/1 Paddy… 26 Betfa… 21 Sky B… 21
3rd	11	13	Path D'oroux (G) T Useful jumps winner but had seemingly completely lost his form when last seen during the spring. Short break needs to have perked him up, yet that is distinctly possible for one who has gone well fre…	04950-0	Mr B M Coonan G P Cromwell	9	75.3kg	15 14/1
2nd	12	3	Sunny South West (G) H Useful dual bumper winner who made a successful hurdles debut at Cork (17f) 12 months ago. Held form well in defeat in 3 starts thereafter and he very much appeals as the type to make his mark in thi…	5/11462-	Mr D O'Connor Edward F Power	6	75.3kg	3 2/1
