9th	1	—	Courtmac Gesture (M) Showed more than previously over hurdles when third of 8 (held when left in a place last) at Leopardstown in March. Ran a moody race when last seen though and has a fair bit to find now tackling a ha…	5F6430-	Alan O'Sullivan C Motherway	5	75.3kg	26 25/1
11th	2	—	Crossbar Getaway (M) Improved effort over hurdles when returning from 8 months off to finish second of 18 in 17f maiden at Clonmel (good) in May. Failed to back that up at Punchestown following month. Makes handicap debu…	349-270	Aidan Kelly J Fahey	6	75.3kg	51 50/1
5th	3	—	Sallap (M) FAV T Dual course winner, including extended 2¾m handicap in June. Followed that up with a success at Limerick in July and has held well since despite not always being seen to best effect, turning in a car…	115525	Phillip Enright S Curling	6	75.3kg	4.33 10/3
8th	4	—	Golden Wings (M) Third of 20 in maiden at Punchestown on hurdles debut in January but well below that level in 4 subsequent starts, including on handicap debut on latest. Hard to make a case for unless market speaks …	93P-070	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	5	74.4kg	21 20/1
3rd	5	—	Eaglewood (M) Bumper winner who has yet to reach the same level over hurdles but took a notable step back in the right direction when 6 lengths fifth of 9 to La Cote Fleurie in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan last time…	03-0953	Danny Mullins Leonard Flynn	6	72.1kg	5.50 9/2
6th	6	—	Mia In Milan (M) Showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when 18¼ lengths eighth of 15 to The Dotski in mares maiden at Ballinrobe last. Looks open to further improvement back up in trip on handicap debut.	0-0586	Sam Ewing D E Fitzgerald	5	70.3kg	41 40/1
1st	7	—	Mount Shenshan (M) T Maiden chaser who posted a couple of respectable efforts in this sphere in May before struggling on last 2 starts. Potentially well treated now back over hurdles, though her losing run stretches back…	356061	Sean Cleary-Farrell T Mullins	8	67.6kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	8	—	Demanding Gerry (M) T Maiden has finished runner-up 4 times in handicaps. Shaped as if still in good form when 6¼ lengths fifth of 15 to At The Wings at Navan, again doing her best work at the finish. Entitled to be there…	24P452	Conor Smithers J Fahey	7	66.7kg	4.50 7/2
10th	9	—	Feet On The Ground (M) Maiden who hasn't kicked on from a promising enough third on chasing debut in May and showed nothing on debut for current yard last time. Switches to hurdles from a good mark based on old efforts but…	P-367P0	Mike O'Connor James Hannon	8	66.7kg	67 66/1
4th	10	—	Princess Felicia (M) Confirmed the positive impression made since joining this yard when quickening clear to win a 16-runner handicap at Ballinrobe in August. Shaped as if amiss last time, blowing hard post-race, but rem…	3U/3-210	Peter Smithers D H Kelly	7	66.7kg	6.50 11/2
—	11	—	Tasmanian Girl (M) T Caused a shock when landing a handicap at Thurles in March 2025 for Aengus King but hasn't threatened to add to that success since. That said, she's shaped with a bit more encouragement on last 2 sta…	0-P9653	Michael Kenneally D Queally	6	64kg	11 10/1 Betfa… 8 Paddy… 8 Sky B… 8
7th	12	—	Misty Cove (F) T An 11f Flat winner (borderline fairly useful form), she has yet to match that level in 3 juvenile maiden hurdles but produced her best effort to date when a 1¾-length fourth of 13 behind Bell Ex Too …	534	Alix Balfe G P Cromwell	3	63.5kg	7.50 13/2
