9th	1	—	Wild Mandate (M) BT Overcame a shoddy round of jumping when enterprisingly ridden to open her account over an extended 25f here last month, only narrowly holding on. Well held at Galway since but this is less demanding …	920-51P	Alan King M M McNiff	7	75.3kg	10 9/1

8th	3	—	Phoenix Arizona (G) FAV PT Maiden who has improved upon joining present stable, backing up his good course third last month when second of 16 in handicap back here 13 days ago. Merits consideration back up in trip.	6-00432	Thomas O'Connor John Cullen	7	74.4kg	4.50 7/2

3rd	8	—	Sekakarma (G) Took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Downpatrick in July and stepped up further under a change of tactics when second at Wexford (2½m, good) 12 days ago, headed entering final 1f an…	0P-5942	Harry Sexton W M Roper	9	68.9kg	7 6/1

2nd	10	—	Mother Ship (M) PT Remains a maiden after 21 runs and she was never better than midfield when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (2½m, good) 12 days ago. Tongue strap now added to usual cheekpieces and the han…	P5-8807	Darragh O'Keeffe J J Hanlon	6	67.6kg	13 12/1
5th	11	—	Gortmore Lady (M) P Still looking for a breakthrough success and she failed to build on the promise of her Downpatrick third (2¼m) in July when a well held ninth back over same C&D 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back.	P-B9375	Kevin Healy Ciaran Murphy	6	67.1kg	10 9/1

1st	14	—	Move It On Over (G) Yet to make an impact in 9 starts over hurdles but he will at least find this less demanding than recent assignments he's in novice company. Still, others much more persuasive.	8-080U4	Philip Byrnes John F O'Neill	5	65.3kg	23 22/1

—	15	—	Glaoinn An Airgead (G) Pulled Up Remains a maiden after 18 runs and not been shaping like bucking that trend of late, again posing no threat when tenth of 14 in a handicap hurdle at Wexford (3m) 4 weeks ago.	5F0-0P0	Daniel King J Barcoe	8	64.4kg	34 33/1
6th	16	—	Max Time (G) T Winless since 2024 and seems only a poor hurdler/chaser nowadays. Others are much preferred.	0-PP04P	Joshua Halford I Madden	9	64.4kg	26 25/1
