1st	1	—	Nicky Larson (G) FAV Stepped up plenty from his hurdling debut to get off the mark in impressive style in 2m Ballinrobe contest 3 weeks ago, quickening clear under hands-and-heels ride. Can defy a penalty.	311	Sean Flanagan P Nolan	3	71.7kg	1.62 8/13
8th	2	—	Camp Verde (G) In need of the experience in similar events this month (mistakes and well beaten behind Nicky Larson at Ballinrobe on debut, rider lost irons early and unseated fifth at Killarney last week).	0U8	Michael Kenneally J J Hanlon	3	68.9kg	126 125/1
7th	3	—	Fay Og (G) Didn't show anything on the Flat for Natalia Lupini.	0086	J J Slevin W R Crawford	3	68.9kg	101 100/1
2nd	4	—	Nod Of Approval (G) T Fair maiden on the Flat who has had plenty of chances. Well held on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe behind Nicky Larson but bred to do better (half-brother to useful hurdler Puturhandstogether and fairly…	5-62057	Simon Torrens Mrs J Harrington	3	68.9kg	6.50 11/2
4th	5	—	Point Star (G) Fifty Stars gelding. Dam (h116), 2¼m-21f hurdle winner (stayed 3m), also 17f-21.6f winner on Flat, half-sister to temperamental bumper winner/fair hurdler (stayed 2¼m) Rathmuck Native.	4	Thomas O'Connor M Fahey	3	68.9kg	17 16/1
—	6	—	Moon Aura (F) Pulled Up Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 7f) for Jessica Harrington. Starts out over hurdles for in-form yard.	—	Kevin Sexton C A McBratney	3	65.8kg	51 50/1
3rd	7	—	No Bother Aoife (F) T Modest maiden on the Flat but has made a relatively promising start over hurdles, held in third behind Nicky Larson at Ballinrobe 3 weeks ago. Should be on the premises.	43	Conor Stone-Walsh G P Cromwell	3	65.8kg	4.50 7/2
6th	8	—	Sands Castle (F) H Fair maiden on the Flat (well held when gambled on at Gowran last month). Took to hurdling well enough behind Nicky Larson at Ballinrobe, proving a bit too free even with a hood fitted.	502008	Harry Sexton A Sexton	3	65.8kg	9 8/1
5th	9	—	Swift Charm (F) HT Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m). Hard to fancy on hurdles debut.	—	P J O'Hanlon W R Crawford	3	65.8kg	41 40/1
