—	1	—	Back Swath (G) Pulled Up Showed nothing on belated debut at Kilbeggan.	0P	Daniel King R Hackett	7	75.3kg	251 250/1
3rd	2	—	Confidence Within (G) Jet Away gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Reallyntruthfully. Third sole start in points. Looked a useful prospect when off the mark in a Kilbeggan bumper last month, going with …	3-1	Tiernan Power Roche P J Rothwell	5	75.3kg	6 5/1
4th	3	—	Farney Bridge (G) Fair winner (33/1) at Killarney on second of 3 starts in bumper this summer. Hard to be confident he'll find the required improvement sent hurdling, though.	01443	Eoin Walsh J M Burke	6	75.3kg	21 20/1
—	4	—	Higher Vision (G) Pulled Up €16,000 3-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Lucid Dreams. Dam (b88), bumper winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser Monkerhostin and useful hurdler…	—	Liam Quinlan R Hackett	6	75.3kg	126 125/1
8th	5	—	Jetaway Mountain (G) Runner-up sole start in points. Seemed unsuited by the emphasis on speed when beaten 15¾ lengths in a Wexford bumper. Entitled to need this hurdling debut following 4 months away.	2-68	Brian Hayes Colm Murphy	5	75.3kg	67 66/1
5th	6	—	Ladbroke Grove (G) T From a winning French family. Showed plenty when 18 lengths third in a Punchestown bumper that has worked out well last May. Type to win races somewhere along the way and Mark Walsh a positive jockey…	3/	Mark Walsh M Brassil	5	75.3kg	5.50 9/2
7th	7	—	Man Down (G) Made frame sole completed start in points. Has looked a longer-term project in his 2 maiden hurdle starts to date.	P-4P067	Niall Moore D Duggan	5	75.3kg	201 200/1
—	8	—	Minnatrix (G) Pulled Up H Free-going sort. Hasn't built on his debut second in a bumper at Roscommon last autumn. One for handicaps following this run.	2-FS890	Phillip Enright E McCarthy	6	75.3kg	101 100/1
10th	9	—	Nothintodowithme (G) T No form in 3 starts to date.	P88	Evan Nugent B T Murphy	5	75.3kg	251 250/1
9th	10	—	Outlaw Thief (G) H Arctic Cosmos gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) The Romford Pele. Wears hood. Unplaced completed start in points (Apr 2026). Hooded for Rules debut and diff…	P5-9	Shane Fitzgerald P Kiely	5	75.3kg	201 200/1
6th	11	—	Ozark Daze (G) T Fair middle-distance handicapper on all-weather for Jack W. Davison last autumn/winter. Tongue strap refitted for hurdling/stable debut and may just need this following 9 months away.	6	Ricky Doyle G O'Loughlin	5	75.3kg	81 80/1
1st	12	—	Reaching High (G) FAV T Useful Flat performer. Made a promising hurdling debut when ½-length second to a fairly useful one with experience at Killarney (2m), encouragingly seeing out his race well in refitted tongue strap. …	210/29-0	Paul Townend W P Mullins	5	75.3kg	1.25 1/4
2nd	13	—	Zambezi Moon (G) Placed on first 2 of 3 starts in points. Caused an 80/1 surprise when fair winner of bumper at Cork (19f) on Rules debut. Shaped like a longer-term project over hurdles on subsequent couple of maiden…	3P1-562	J J Slevin David Barry	6	75.3kg	17 16/1
12th	14	—	Down After Dark (G) H Showed nothing prior to unseating on debut and did no better at Kilbeggan (200/1) subsequently.	U90	Aidan Kelly S Curling	4	74.4kg	201 200/1
11th	15	—	Menez Are (G) Bande gelding. Dam placed over hurdles in France. Last of 5 in sole completed start in points. Hardly an obvious type on Rules debut.	U5P-0	Danny Gilligan P J Gilligan	4	74.4kg	251 250/1
—	16	—	Midtown Manhattan (G) Bred to stay well. Cost a pretty penny following 6½ lengths success on sole start in points. Hooded/too free to justify support in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (2¾m) in May. Drop back in trip (without…	1/92	Reserve 1 H De Bromhead	5	75.3kg	7.50 13/2 Betfa… 9 Paddy… 9 Sky B… 9
—	17	—	Ddakji (G) Never threatened to justify support on hurdling debut at Leopardstown in December. Still looked to have plenty to learn on second bumper start at Kilbeggan latest and may need more time back over hur…	0-986	Reserve 2 Conor Houlihan	4	74.4kg	34 33/1 Betfa… 67 Paddy… 67 Sky B… 67
—	18	—	Woodie Wiley (G) Did little better than first time up over hurdles at Navan 6 days ago. Another one for handicaps. RESERVE	P/PS700	Reserve 3 Conor Houlihan	5	75.3kg	34 33/1 Paddy… 151 Betfa… 151 Sky B… 151
