—	1	—	Cornmarket (G) B Won 3 times over hurdles here last season. Fourth here on his previous chase start. Arrives on the back of a Flat win at Clonmel a fortnight ago. One to consider.	8-2053F	Thomas O'Connor John Cullen	7	75.7kg	9 8/1 Paddy… 6.50 Betfa… 6.50 Sky B… 6.50
2nd	2	—	Pourquoi Poi (G) FAV 2½m handicap hurdle winner last season who was quickly back to form when second of 10 in handicap chase at Tramore (2¾m, good to firm) 45 days ago. Respected.	3B3022	Daniel King P W Flynn	5	75.3kg	3.75 11/4
3rd	3	—	Western Model (G) Roscommon handicap hurdle winner in July and shaped well when runner-up off his lower chase mark last time, going down only to a progressive sort. Big player.	831423	Conor Smithers A Kinirons	7	74.8kg	4 3/1
—	4	—	John Storey (G) Pulled Up Unreliable individual who showed clear signs of a revival when third over fences at Roscommon last month but disappointing back hurdling at Galway since.	P4PP-3P	Keith Donoghue Ian Donoghue	8	72.1kg	12 11/1
6th	5	—	Fr Gilligansvoyge (G) BT Veteran who has enjoyed an excellent summer, winning 3 times and placed on 4 other occasions, but a busy spell seemed to catch up with him at Ballinrobe last time.	112067	Sarah Kavanagh J G Carr	13	71.7kg	34 33/1
—	6	—	Mr Devlin (G) Unseated Rider P Modest maiden hurdler who will need to improve for a switch to fences and a significant step up in trip if he's to play a prominent role here.	0800-59	Jordan Gainford Conor Maxwell	5	71.2kg	34 33/1
4th	7	—	Ballagh Star (G) TV Doesn't arrive in much form (pulled up on last 3 outings over fences) but the fact he's won this race for the last 2 years means it wouldn't be a shock were he to bounce back with a bang.	0P9P41	Danny Gilligan Mrs Y Dunleavy	8	69.9kg	6 5/1
10th	8	—	Revolut Ned (G) PT Successful again in a point prior to a good run on handicap debut in chase at Tramore (2¾m, good to soft) in May. Likely found the run coming too soon when well held at Roscommon 9 days later. Freshe…	F0-1370	Simon Torrens William P Murphy	7	69.9kg	17 16/1
5th	9	—	My Good Pal (G) PT Off the mark in hurdle at Wexford last August. Plenty of creditable placed efforts in defeat since (including over fences) but latest Ballinrobe hurdle ninth wasn't one of them.	U85295	Mr B M Coonan G P Cromwell	7	68.9kg	10 9/1
7th	10	—	The Little Yank (G) B Veteran course scorer who ended a losing run at Clonmel (handicap hurdle) last season. Back to form after a 3-month break with a good third at Kilbeggan in July but has lost his way since.	P-33708	John Aherne J P Ryan	11	68.5kg	15 14/1
1st	11	—	Mini Getaway (M) P Maiden who posted her best effort so far when third of 13 in handicap chase at Wexford (25f, soft, 20/1) in first-time cheekpieces 33 days ago. Claims if she can build on that.	14-3031	Alex Harvey M M Lynch	9	65.3kg	11 10/1
8th	12	—	Three County Star (G) P Unplaced on all 14 starts under Rules and it is likely best to look elsewhere again.	56P968	Peter Smithers B Mortell	5	64.9kg	15 14/1
9th	13	—	Tullabrack Lad (G) First form when fifth of 15 in handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good to soft) in April but well held at Kilbeggan 4 months later.	0/P995-0	Michael Kenneally F J Flood	7	63.5kg	17 16/1
