Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Facile Ocean (G) FAV T Borderline fairly useful hurdler. Improved when making all in 11-runner Kilbeggan maiden. Tongue strap refitted when running his best race in the face of a stiff task there last time, beaten 4¾ lengt…	232141	Eoghan Finegan Ciaran Murphy	5	75.3kg	3 2/1
3rd	2	—	Lygon Lad (G) FAV Confirmed his return to form when opening his account in a course novice (2¼m) last time, finding plenty for pressure. In top hands and weighted to run another big race back in handicap company.	47/5213	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	6	73.9kg	3 2/1
5th	3	—	Mr Caulfield (G) Point winner who finished runner-up in a 21f hurdle at Sligo on the second of 4 maiden starts. On a reasonable opening mark if he can build on that.	P102B0	Simon Torrens N C Kelly	5	71.2kg	34 33/1
2nd	4	—	Papagei (G) Fairly useful middle-distance Flat winner. Well below that level over hurdles but did back up his previous effort when fourth in a big-field event at Navan (19f) last time. Doesn't have much improvem…	7F5-454	James Smith T Gibney	5	67.1kg	3.25 9/4
4th	5	—	Speakasyoufind (G) Standout effort when well-backed second in 19f handicap at Clonmel in June. Best not judged on latest run over an inadequate trip at Roscommon (2m), though may again find this on the sharp side.	P-926F9	Shane O'Callaghan P J Rothwell	5	64.9kg	11 10/1

Betting forecast: Facile Ocean (2/1), Lygon Lad (2/1), Papagei (9/4), Speakasyoufind (10/1), Mr Caulfield (33/1)
