5th	1	—	Ad Caelum (M) T Landed a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle under her returning good-value claimer (1-1) in June. Typically lost her form since, making it 0-14 over fences when pulled up at same course (3¼m). Isn't one for m…	15PP5P	Alan O'Sullivan J P Ryan	7	73kg	12 11/1
4th	2	—	Affinity Rock (M) Consistent front runner who got off the mark in 2¾m Killarney maiden hurdle last May. Underlined a positive start over fences when 4¾ lengths third of 6 in beginners chase there on return from 3 mont…	10-2234	Carl Millar C Collins	6	73kg	3.75 11/4
1st	3	—	Carried With Love (M) Useful hurdler. Didn't improve for a change of headgear on final start for Joseph O'Brien, beaten 6¾ lengths in mares listed handicap at Leopardstown in February. Since switched to capable new yard b…	33327-1	Aidan Kelly Jonathan Sweeney	5	73kg	4 3/1
7th	4	—	Cherry Red (M) Made successful stable debut when winning 2¼m mares maiden hurdle at Sligo. Subsequently well beaten off stiff-looking opening mark there (2½m) and seemingly faces another tough ask on chasing bow.	P/U-P107	Ben Harvey D M Christie	8	73kg	81 80/1

6th	6	—	Giorgia Rose (M) PT Maiden pointer. Form went the wrong way despite finishing third on each of her 3 starts in maiden hurdles. Down the field on handicap bow at this course latest (2¾m) and while in good hands, she'll n…	8-33306	Ricky Doyle E Mullins	6	73kg	34 33/1

2nd	8	—	Straight Home (M) FAV T Point/bumper winner. Progressive in handicap hurdles last year. Presumably had her issues but looks sure to build on her chasing debut/return at Tramore last month, finishing 16 lengths third under a…	1/41-324	Sean Cleary-Farrell W P Mullins	9	73kg	2.38 11/8
8th	9	—	Survivors Sister (M) Fair handicap hurdler who got off the mark at Limerick (21f, heavy) in February. Has become increasingly unreliable, though, and has plenty to prove on chasing debut/return from 3 months off.	P7-398F	Philip Donovan P J Gilligan	7	73kg	41 40/1
