Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
10th	1	—	Jonny Carrol (G) T Low mileage 5-y-o. Finished as close as he has when 7 lengths fourth of 14 at Wexford (2½m) in early-August. That form has some substance but he'll need more to defy his current mark.	3P-7840	Ms E L Herbison M McCabe	5	76.2kg	11 10/1
8th	2	—	Free Flow (G) Hold-up type. Hasn't made much impact in handicaps since his clear-cut win in Thurles maiden hurdle last spring. Drops another 1 lb having been less-than-ideally placed at Ballinrobe last time, with …	0-64080	Ethan O'Sullivan Edward F Power	6	74.4kg	15 14/1
11th	3	—	Le Roi Arthur (G) Made the frame on second of 2 starts in points. Gone backwards since his third on hurdling debut at Sligo last July. Opening mark certainly could have been kinder but step up in trip can only benefit…	439-F00	Kieren Buckley E Buckley	5	73.5kg	15 14/1
—	4	—	Minority Interest (G) P Much improved when off the mark over C&D in decisive fashion this time last year, soft ground seemingly a catalyst. Shaped well over an inadequate trip at Limerick (2m, heavy) in March prior to runn…	41805-0	Ross Sugrue P J Rothwell	6	73.5kg	13 12/1 Sky B… 8 Betfa… 8 Paddy… 8
—	5	—	Bold Reflection (M) Expensive point recruit who won a heavy-ground bumper on debut at Limerick in December 2022. Brought along steadily in maiden hurdles following a 3-year absence and could do better now handicapping (…	18/P-048	Tiernan Power Roche J C McConnell	8	73kg	11 10/1 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 21 Sky B… 21
4th	6	—	Lady Felicia (M) T Jukebox Jury mare out of a fairly useful dam (stayed 3m). Ran to a similar level in 3 maiden hurdles, latterly beaten 19 lengths when stepped up markedly in trip at Kilbeggan (25f). Will need to impr…	454	Simon Torrens A A Howard	5	73kg	9 8/1
—	7	—	Wildhorserider (G) Made the frame both starts in points. Brought along steadily in maidens, showing a bit more when well-held sixth at Clonmel (2½m, soft) in early-April. In capable hands, and the type to do better now…	24/006-	John Shinnick T O'Brien	6	73kg	13 12/1 Paddy… 13 Sky B… 13 Betfa… 12
—	8	—	Comanche Moon (G) Caught the eye a couple of times in heavy-ground 2m handicaps in the spring. Off since finishing down the field at Wexford in May, however, he's one to be interested in if the market vibes are positi…	5P/479-0	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	6	71.7kg	8 7/1 Paddy… 5 Betfa… 5 Sky B… 5
—	9	—	Allroadsleadtorome (G) Attracted strong support when well-held fifth in a bumper at Kelso in May (possibly not facing cheekpieces on that occasion). Finished with running left when down the field on qualifying run at Belle…	5-5799	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	5	71.2kg	13 12/1 Sky B… 21 Paddy… 21 Betfa… 19
5th	10	—	Hidalgo Des Mottes (G) BT Long-standing maiden. Runner-up in a solid-looking Thurles handicap last November. Again found only one too good at Punchestown in June prior to a lesser effort at Wexford the following month. Weight…	25-8295	Michael Kenneally E Griffin	9	70.8kg	8 7/1
6th	11	—	Midnight Musical (M) Made an encouraging bumper debut at Galway last summer. Went wrong way afterwards and has followed a similar trend over hurdles this season, faring no better in refitted cheekpieces at Bellewstown (2…	585096	James Smith A McCann	5	70.8kg	13 12/1
—	12	—	Thurman (M) Lightly-raced maiden. Offered little in 2 handicap starts 4 months apart. Brian Hayes takes over from 7-lb claimer here.	40P/79-8	Brian Hayes Colm Murphy	6	70.3kg	26 25/1 Betfa… 19 Paddy… 19 Sky B… 17
—	13	—	Stumblin In (M) Pulled Up Won a Tramore handicap off 3 lb lower mark last spring. Didn't build on a promising effort for Jack Doyle at Clonmel in June (faller on final start for that yard 10 weeks ago). Could be on a handy ma…	0-600FP	Mr B T Stone W J Martin	7	69.4kg	15 14/1
3rd	14	—	Ardera Gun (G) FAV BT Maiden who shaped a bit better than being pulled up would suggest (briefly went second towards end of back straight) at Kilbeggan on final start last season. Unseated on reappearance at Wexford. Blin…	07P-U32	Donagh Meyler E Doyle	6	68.9kg	3.50 5/2
—	15	—	Sunrise Strider (G) H Lightly-raced 5-y-o. Showed first form when 11 lengths sixth on handicap bow at Limerick (2m, heavy) over Christmas. Didn't build on that at Punchestown, though, and returns from an 8-month absence h…	90060-	Cian Quirke M J McDonagh	5	68.5kg	26 25/1 Sky B… 19 Paddy… 19 Betfa… 17
7th	16	—	Silin Alainn (M) Only showed a bit for Norman Lee. Looked rusty when beaten 9 lengths on return from 22 months away at Killarney (2½m). May well make more impact off her lowly mark on second start for a very useful y…	7880/07	Kevin Sexton G P Cromwell	7	67.6kg	15 14/1
1st	17	—	The Ducks Walk (G) Winning pointer who again showed promise under a very patient ride when sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2½m, good). Too free to build on that at Wexford last time and more testing conditio…	0-74601	Richard Condon N Dooly	8	67.6kg	8 7/1
—	18	—	Rose Mountain (M) Pulled Up Has an ordinary pedigree. No form in bumpers/maiden hurdles at long odds. Now tackles low-grade handicap/longer trip for first time.	00/P90	Phillip Enright M Hassett	6	67.1kg	41 40/1
2nd	19	—	Talas Kera (M) Benefited as expected for drop back in trip when 6 lengths fourth in big-field event at Tramore in August. That form has been franked by the second/third, and she's one of the more appealing types on…	754042	Josh Williamson J G Carr	5	65.8kg	10 9/1
—	20	—	Glory Sky (M) PT Fair winner up to 1m on the Flat for Richard Hannon. Shaped better than the beaten distance when well-held fifth on return at Downpatrick (17f). Cheekpieces on for only second time, though does have …	00/778-5	Liam Quinlan R Hackett	6	65.3kg	26 25/1 Sky B… 23 Betfa… 23 Paddy… 23
—	21	—	Trixaboutmaisie (M) Lightly-raced maiden. Didn't improve for her reappearance (2m) when down the field on second handicap start at Wexford (3m), despite being much tighter in the betting than previously. RESERVE	870-70	Reserve 1 C Bowe	5	67.6kg	— Paddy… 10 Betfa… 10 Sky B… 10
9th	22	—	Arctic Piper (M) Long-standing maiden. Hasn't looked like capitalising on a falling mark in a couple of handicap hurdle starts for present yard this summer. RESERVE	P-F9093	Danny Mullins R Donohoe	7	70.3kg	10 9/1
—	23	—	Lariat (G) TV Long-standing maiden. Did little to suggest he's ready to capitalise on a career-low mark at Navan (19f) last time. Hopes pinned on another change of headgear. RESERVE	599-PP0	Reserve 3 L P Cusack	10	65.8kg	— Betfa… 34 Paddy… 34 Sky B… 34
