—	1	—	Charlie's Dilemma (G)	78-845U	— J C McConnell	7	76.2kg	—
—	1	—	Giorgia Rose (M) PT Maiden pointer. Form has gone the wrong way despite finishing third on each of her 3 starts in maiden hurdles, beaten 22¼ lengths at Kilbeggan latest. Opening mark hardly generous on that evidence, f…	238-333	Donagh Meyler E Mullins	6	75.3kg	8.50 15/2 Betfa… 8 Paddy… 8 Sky B… 8
—	2	—	Joshua Chamberlain (G) Opened his account off 2 lb higher in a Tramore handicap hurdle (heavy) in August 2023. Showed he retains some ability on his second start back after a long absence when 12½ lengths fourth over C&D l…	6515/04	Eoghan Finegan G Keane	9	73.9kg	15 14/1 Betfa… 13 Paddy… 13 Sky B… 13

—	3	—	Gerrys Wish (M) B Has finished runner-up 3 times in handicaps for her excellent yard, latterly beaten 2¼ lengths when bouncing back to form at Wexford (3m). That was just about a career best, and she merits plenty of …	822-8P2	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	5	73.5kg	6 5/1 Sky B… 6 Paddy… 6 Betfa… 5.50

—	4	—	The Vegas Raider (G) TV Sole success came off 3 lb higher at this track in 2024. Hasn't offered much in either start since returning from a 15-month absence, though.	0920/U0	Danny Gilligan K A Heffernan	8	72.6kg	26 25/1 Sky B… 19 Paddy… 19 Betfa… 17
—	5	—	Midnight Eagle (M)	0-30231	— A McNamara	6	74.8kg	—
—	5	—	Ancient Myth (G) B Opening mark looked potentially lenient given his fairly useful ability on the Flat (stayed 1m), but he was always behind on handicap bow at Killarney (2½m) last time. Now tried over even further in …	0000	Shane Fitzgerald N F Glynn	5	72.1kg	34 33/1 Sky B… 26 Betfa… 26 Paddy… 26
—	6	—	Barryroe Madam (M) H Sole win came in handicap hurdle over 23f at Listowel in May 2025. Best effort since joining current yard when 6½ lengths fourth of 13 at Wexford (3m) last time. She'll probably need to build on that…	300-004	John Shinnick T O'Brien	7	72.1kg	11 10/1 Betfa… 12 Paddy… 12 Sky B… 12

—	7	—	My Good Pal (G) PT Off the mark at Wexford last August. Plenty of creditable placed efforts in defeat since. Ran just about as well as he has when 1¼-length second at Downpatrick last time, sticking to his task after b…	5-2U852	Mr B M Coonan G P Cromwell	7	72.1kg	6 5/1 Sky B… 9 Paddy… 9 Betfa… 8
—	8	—	It's Time Again (M) P C&D winner who may have won but for crashing out at the last at Clonmel (2¾m) in June. Now has something to prove following consecutive below-par efforts at this track.	6-0PF89	Liam McKenna David Barry	10	70.8kg	21 20/1 Sky B… 13 Betfa… 13 Paddy… 13
—	9	—	Ballyminnion Boy (G) H Shaped with some encouragement at long odds in maidens. Sent off at 33/1 and stopped quickly on handicap debut at Wexford (2½m) latest. Hard to be confident now tried over even further in a first-tim…	FP-0080	Gary Noonan E McCarthy	6	70.3kg	101 100/1 Betfa… 29 Paddy… 29 Sky B… 29

—	10	—	Ranger Billy (G) P Dual winner of 3m handicap hurdles earlier in his career. Seemingly hasn't been easiest to train in recent seasons, showing first form for current yard when third over C&D last month. Couldn't match …	P0-PP37	J J Slevin K A Heffernan	10	69.4kg	17 16/1 Paddy… 23 Betfa… 23 Sky B… 23
—	11	—	Blackwater Soldier (G) Successful on the second of 2 starts in points. Looked to be being brought along steadily in maidens in 2023. Entitled to need this handicap debut following 34 months off the track.	616009/	Darragh O'Keeffe David Barry	9	68.5kg	26 25/1 Betfa… 34 Paddy… 34 Sky B… 34
—	12	—	Chanceitlucky (G) T Low-mileage 7-y-o. Ran creditably when beaten 11½ lengths on return here (22.5f) earlier this month, a 9-month absence perhaps telling on the run-in after making most. May well build on that with ton…	09046-5	Sean Flanagan A Murray	7	68.5kg	13 12/1 Sky B… 12 Paddy… 12 Betfa… 11
—	12	—	Gforcejenny (F)	/636-50	— G P Cromwell	4	73kg	—
—	13	—	Fine Print (G) PT Continued in good heart on the Flat when second at Tramore (2m) 9 days ago. His most recent efforts over hurdles have left a little to be desired, though, for all he's probably overdue a go over this…	078-406	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	5	68kg	21 20/1 Betfa… 12 Paddy… 12 Sky B… 12

—	14	—	The Little Yank (G)	PPP-337	— J P Ryan	11	73kg	—
—	14	—	Phildante (M) PT Belatedly off the mark under this promising conditional at Wexford last time, travelled well and always holding on. A 4-lb rise doesn't look insurmountable on the best of last summer's form, and she …	06-64F1	Joshua Halford E Doyle	9	67.1kg	3.75 11/4 Betfa… 8 Paddy… 8 Sky B… 8
—	15	—	Torque De Lune (M)	0-F43U0	— J J Hanlon	6	73kg	—
—	15	—	Tawny Lea (M) Isn't badly bred but has offered little to date, including on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (19f, 66/1) latest. Now tried over longer trip.	08R0	Philip Byrnes Thomas Coyle	6	66.7kg	101 100/1 Paddy… 41 Sky B… 41 Betfa… 36
—	16	—	Princess Felicia (M) Lightly-raced 7-y-o. Pleasing debut for current yard when 4¾ lengths third (fifth and sixth both won next time) at Clonmel last autumn. Improved again to go close at Tramore (2½m) following a further…	FP3U/3-2	Peter Smithers D H Kelly	7	66.2kg	4.50 7/2 Betfa… 4.50 Paddy… 4.50 Sky B… 4.50

—	17	—	Tantrum Boy (G) Lightly-raced 6-y-o. Showed his first form when beaten 5¾ lengths over C&D last month. Subsequently matched that on chasing debut at Roscommon but needs a step forward to play a leading role back ove…	70-0844	Reserve 1 B McMahon	6	66.7kg	21 20/1 Paddy… 8.50 Sky B… 8.50 Betfa… 8
—	17	—	Kilashee (M)	1067-PP	— J P Ryan	11	72.6kg	—
—	18	—	But What About Me (M) Finished as close as she has when 8 lengths behind It's Time Again here on final start for Norman Lee. At least warrants a market check returning 16 months on for new yard. RESERVE.	07F087/	Reserve 2 B T Murphy	8	67.6kg	34 33/1 Paddy… 19 Betfa… 19 Sky B… 19
—	19	—	St Anthonys Corner (M) Course winner on debut in 2024. Went off the boil over hurdles last year before an inauspicious start over fences at Sligo. Something to prove back hurdling following 10 months off. RESERVE.	44/0900-	Reserve 3 N Lee	6	68.9kg	51 50/1 Paddy… 15 Sky B… 15 Betfa… 13
