2nd	1	—	Bhean Saibhre (M) T Strong-travelling sort who won a conditional maiden at this course last season but arrives on the back of 2 poor efforts, racing too freely when upped in trip at Limerick last time. Reverts to more s…	2U1-4P8	Peter Smithers A A Howard	5	75.3kg	10 9/1

3rd	3	—	Le Diablo (G) T Got off the mark in handicap at Clonmel in April and turned in easily his best effort since when 3¼ lengths second of 14 to Backinabit in similar event at Wexford last time. Obvious claims if repeati…	705230	J J Slevin J P Ryan	5	73kg	5 4/1

8th	4	—	Doctor Confusion (G) Never better than mid-field in maiden hurdles and ran badly upped in trip on handicap debut when last seen in August. Handicapper has dropped him 5 lb but unlikely to be of much interest unless the m…	68/6P-	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	5	72.6kg	10 9/1

1st	7	—	Max Meridius (G) FAV Flat bred who made more impact than previously over hurdles when 7½ lengths fifth of 16 to Timurshah in handicap at Clonmel last month. That form has worked out quite well but has run poorly back on …	09-0510	Danny Mullins T Mullins	5	67.1kg	4.50 7/2

4th	8	—	Ballinvasas Best (M) Showed promise on first 3 starts in maiden hurdles but offered little on return from near 2-year absence at Listowel in May. Difficult to know how much ability she retains now tackling a handicap.	446/04	Sean O'Keeffe S Ryan	8	65.8kg	29 28/1

7th	9	—	At The Wings (G) HT Placed in a bumper in 2024. Little to shout about over hurdles, including on return from 8-months off last time. Races from 2 lb out of the handicap.	70000-7	Michael Kenneally N Lee	6	63.5kg	6.50 11/2
