—	12	—	Mirrorbelle (M) Pulled Up Marcel mare. Half-sister to winners abroad by Zebedee and Alhebayeb. Dam, maiden hurdler, 1½m winner on Flat. Likely a longer-term prospect.	—	Jordan Gainford E D Delany	5	72.1kg	101 100/1
1st	13	—	Pat O's Rock (M) Progressed from debut when winning 10-runner bumper at Kilbeggan 40 days ago, unchallenged. Must be taken seriously on hurdles debut.	41	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	5	72.1kg	2.75 7/4
