2nd	1	—	Speed For Fun (G) FAV H Fairly useful Flat winner. Would have made a successful hurdling debut but for final flight fall at Listowel (2½m) in May. Has raced freely when second on both outings since, beaten a length by Louie…	F2220	Anna McGuinness W P Mullins	5	75.3kg	1.67 4/6
1st	2	—	Boo Radley (G) T From a good jumping family and was in the process of leaving his previous efforts firmly behind when brought down by better-fancied stablemate when poised to challenge at the last in maiden at Ballin…	05-9B1	Charlie O'Dwyer W P Mullins	5	71.7kg	7 6/1
—	3	—	Charles The Bold (G) Winning pointer who was unplaced on latest start in that sphere. Never involved on Rules debut here (19f) last time. Drop back to 2m suggests he's being brought along with handicaps in mind.	P2416-9	E M Nugent B McMahon	6	71.7kg	34 33/1 Paddy… 41 Betfa… 36 Sky B… 34
5th	4	—	Mr Devlin (G) P Lightly-raced maiden who has yet to finish closer than mid-division in 6 outings over hurdles.	0800-59	Thomas O'Connor Conor Maxwell	5	71.7kg	11 10/1
—	5	—	Returning Officer (G) €100,000 purchase who failed to progress when mid-field in bumpers first 2 starts this season and was well held switched to hurdling at Sligo last time.	6/577	Josh Williamson G Elliott	6	71.7kg	8.50 15/2 Paddy… 11 Betfa… 10 Sky B… 10
—	6	—	The Iron Chef (G) Consistent rather than progressive in trio of bumpers, including on debut for this yard last time. Makes hurdling debut, but bred to be suited by longer trips in this sphere.	544-	Eoghan Finegan J C McConnell	5	71.7kg	7 6/1 Paddy… 9.50 Betfa… 9 Sky B… 8.50
—	7	—	The Old Brigade (G) Pulled Up H Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Kavanaghs Cross. Dam unraced sister to useful 23f hurdle winner Senor Lombardy. Pulled up both starts in points in late-2025. Wears hood.	PP-	Eoin Staples S Doyle	5	71.7kg	15 14/1
7th	8	—	Pensioners Icon (M) Second foal: dam placed in points.	7	Alan King M M McNiff	5	68.5kg	101 100/1
—	9	—	Thornbury Queen (M) Pulled Up H Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam (h99) 2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m). Sent off at big odds when saddle slipped in maiden hurdle at Wexford on debut.	P	Ben Kennedy M O Quigley	6	68.5kg	151 150/1
6th	10	—	Gunner Girl (F) Down the field in 2 bumpers. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when 31½ lengths eighth of 12 to Amina in maiden at Ballinrobe on hurdling debut, blundering last.	708	Michael Kenneally S G Carey	4	67.6kg	21 20/1
4th	11	—	Maroel (F) Offered something to work when 20 lengths third of 13 to Speisialta in mares maiden hurdle at Sligo on debut, left poorly placed. Should improve on that initial experience.	3	Conor Clarke M Magnussen	4	67.6kg	12 11/1
3rd	12	—	Pretty Wild (F) Much better effort in maiden hurdles when 13½ lengths fifth of 15 to Bells Grove at Ballinrobe last time. Likely one for handicaps later on.	953	Joshua Halford E Bolger	4	67.6kg	6 5/1
