Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
10th	1	—	Poppycon (G) FAV PT Placed on all completed starts in handicaps, finishing second of 15 at Sligo (21f, good) in this headgear combination 26 days ago. Likely to give another good account.	2F-4200	Joshua Halford E Doyle	6	75.3kg	4 3/1
3rd	2	—	Chosen Princess (M) Well held in bumper/3 maiden hurdles but appeals as one who may do better now moving into handicaps.	046-73	Eoin Walsh J M Burke	5	73.9kg	13 12/1
8th	3	—	Thurman (M) Lightly-raced maiden. Failed to improve for a switch to handicaps at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 105 days ago.	40P/79-8	Ross Berry Colm Murphy	6	72.6kg	51 50/1
11th	4	—	Ballyminnion Boy (G) Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 20 in maiden hurdle at Cork (17f, good, 150/1) 28 days ago. Open to progress now handicapping.	008067	Gary Noonan E McCarthy	6	71.7kg	34 33/1
2nd	5	—	Las Brisas Boy (G) PT Cheekpieces on first time, best effort when second of 14 in handicap at Sligo (21f, good, 10/1) 26 days ago. Claims if the headgear works as well for a second time.	592266	Kieren Buckley E Buckley	5	71.2kg	5 4/1
4th	6	—	Larkins Lane (M) Latest win at Sligo in June. Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap back there (21f, good) 26 days ago, not ideally placed.	118423	Ross Sugrue P J Rothwell	7	70.3kg	9.50 17/2
9th	7	—	Davitts Quay (G) Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (28/1) at this course (17f, good) 15 days ago. Hard to fancy after that.	070-0P	John Shinnick A Mullins	5	68.9kg	41 40/1
—	8	—	Ballinvasas Best (M) Unseated Rider Second run after long absence when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to build on that now.	446/04U	Alan O'Sullivan S Ryan	8	68.5kg	11 10/1
7th	9	—	Mother Ship (M) P Remains a maiden after 20 runs. Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (2½m, good to soft, 14/1) 22 days ago.	072219	Darragh O'Keeffe J J Hanlon	6	68.5kg	12 11/1
12th	10	—	China Grill (G) Tailed off in maiden/handicap hurdles.	0-000	J J Slevin Miss E McCutcheon	5	68kg	81 80/1
—	11	—	Drumadeise (M) Unseated Rider Little show in 4 runs so far, including a handicap.	000U02	Dylan Whelan P Corkery	5	67.6kg	34 33/1
1st	12	—	Esticky End (G) Ungenuine type but in a good vein of form over around 17f here last month, building on a runner-up finish when edging ahead late on 15 days ago. Claims if as effective back over further.	7P2110	Patrick M O'Brien Tom McGuinness	8	67.6kg	7 6/1
5th	13	—	Ballinaboola Gold (M) P Good second at Punchestown in May but below par on all 3 outings since. Well handicapped on the Punchestown form but hard to be confident.	8-25795	Danny Mullins R Donohoe	5	66.7kg	6.50 11/2
6th	14	—	Dark Berkshire (G) P Low-mileage 6-y-o who was creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 14 days ago, although he was beaten 15½ lengths.	P03695	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	6	66.7kg	11 10/1
—	15	—	Little Boy Sivola (G) BT 16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 14 days ago, beaten some way out. His hopes are pinned on a first-time blinkers and tongue strap combination sparking a revival. RESERVE.	060-05P	Reserve 1 P J Rothwell	5	66.7kg	34 33/1 Betfa… 23 Paddy… 23 Sky B… 23
