3rd	3	—	Watch The Weather (G) FAV T Won a pair of handicap chases in 2024 and turned in best effort in this sphere since when 5½ lengths third of 11 to Blood Destiny at Galway last time. Not sure to back that up back of a more conventi…	86-2053	Paddy Cody R P Cody	10	76.2kg	5.50 9/2

7th	6	—	Orkneys Jack (G) No impact in a trio of hurdle starts last year but won a point in May and showed much more than previously under Rules when third of 12 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (2½m) in June. Has failed to build…	25-1355	Shane O'Callaghan L Young	7	68.9kg	26 25/1
6th	7	—	General Clermont (G) Hasn't won for a couple of years and consistency isn't his forte, well held in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time.	26-4P90	J J Slevin D E Fitzgerald	10	68.5kg	13 12/1
